The Snake That Defined an Era
Embrace the golden age of American racing with the Mould King 27111, a 395-piece tribute to the Shelby Cobra 427. Often called the “Cobra to end all Cobras,” this 8-stud-wide model captures the high-performance soul of Carroll Shelby’s most famous creation. Dressed in a deep crimson with dual black racing stripes, this roadster radiates the aggressive, hand-built charisma that made the Cobra a terror on both the street and the track.
Designed for fans of vintage performance, the 27111 offers a dense, high-fidelity building experience that focuses on the muscular “Coke-bottle” curves and the raw mechanical simplicity of the 1960s.
Iconic Roadster Details
Despite its compact 8-wide scale, this model faithfully recreates the specific engineering cues that separate a Shelby from the pack.
- Muscular Bodywork: Recreates the signature flowing lines, rounded fenders, and the unmistakable hood bulge required to clear the massive 427 V8 engine.
- Side-Pipe Symphony: Features chrome-colored side exhaust pipes running along the sills—the unmistakable hallmark of a high-performance Cobra.
- Open-Air Racing Cockpit: The two-seat roadster layout includes a vintage-style split windshield, a detailed tan interior, and a functional steering wheel.
- Authentic Rear Detail: Includes the iconic chrome roll bar behind the driver’s seat and the short, tucked-in tail that gave the original its legendary agility.
- Dust-Free Showcase: Every kit comes with a custom-fit, stackable acrylic display case. The black base and crystal-clear cover allow you to display this American icon alongside your modern supercars in a professional vertical gallery.

Measuring approximately 16.5cm (6.5 inches) long, the Mould King Shelby Cobra 427 is a punchy, high-impact addition to any collection. It represents the perfect intersection of British lightweight design and American V8 muscle. Whether you are a fan of 1960s motorsport history or a collector of precision 8-wide racers, the 27111 is a vibrant, durable tribute to the car that put the world on notice.
