Revell Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe #5 Le Mans 1964

Revell Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe #5 Le Mans 1964 08351 The Revell Shelby Cobra slot car in 1/32 scale, specifically the #5 model, refers to a collectible and playable miniature car. These models are part of a long history of slot car manufacturing by Revell, often in collaboration with Monogram. These 1/32 scale slot cars often feature a short-can 18.5K rpm motor, an inline, front-mounted motor position, and a 9/27 pinion/gear ratio [3]. They typically have plastic wheels and rubber tires, and some models may not include lights [3]. While designed for analog tracks, some models can be retrofitted with a digital chip for use on digital track systems [4]. The Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe models often represent specific historical racing cars, such as the Scuderia Filipinetti car driven in the 1965 Targa Florio [3] [6] or the 1965 Daytona 24 Hour class winner [3]. Revell has a history of re-boxing older kits, so while a kit might be advertised as "new," the molds themselves could date back several decades, potentially requiring modelers to address flash and other molding imperfections [9]. The original Revell 1/32 scale Cooper Cobra kit, also known as the "Lang Cooper," was issued in 1966 [10].
