Filipinetti Cobra 427 Competition CSX3103

The Swiss Scuderia Filipinetti racing team bought one of Sheby’s competition 427 Cobras in 1965 and added it to its stable of racing cars.  They raced it in Europe and northern African races and hill climbs.

 

 

The model:
Monogram 1/24 Cobra built out of the box
Added a cap on the right front fender for the dry sump oil system.
Removed the sun visors and wind wings
Used numbers proved by 65Slotcar (thanks Bill)  {now available from LeMans Decals and Pattosplace}
Added driver’s seat belt
Added a rear view mirror
Painted Tamiya Italian Red spray can

Very nice Gary.  Any idea where the real car is now?

Really nice, Gary.  An unusual but great looking livery for the 427.  I'll be looking for those decals!

Great Job!

This is really nice Gary. It's nice to see a non-blue Cobra!

Thank you for sharing.

Rex, all I know is that the registry says it was involved in a wreck in 2005 vintage race and was being rebodied.
