Cobra Daytona 1965 Nurburgring

[Dave B]

This is a restoration of an old Lindberg kit that I was able to do after acquiring my Gunze Sanyo coupe (wheels and tyres) and both VRM decal sets.

It depicts the chassis # 2300 as run by Ford of France and driven by Jo Schlesser and Andre  Simon to 12th overall and 3rd in class.

 

Tks for looking

Very well-done Dave and thanks for posting.  I see you changed the headlamp buckets, added a spoiler and the rear fender flares.

That is one fine looking Daytona.

I can't believe this is same Lindberg sparkle kit sitting on my shelf, man you're a magician, I like it!

The Lindberg Sparkle is a 1/32 scale kit .

Yes Gary would be a magician if he could pull that off. ?

Super nice Ford France version of the Cobra Daytona coupé with painful attention to all the details, David - very well done!

Great seeing another Cobra Daytona especially with a non Shelby livery. I saw this one in action at a Monterey Historics a number of years ago, I have a Gunze in my stash with plans of building a Dan Gurney raced version

Looks great!
