1966 Shelby Cobra "Supersnake," Limited Edition (1:24 Scale) 
The Franklin Mint Model No. B11E792 

Only one Supersnake® remains in existence, and in 2007 it was auctioned off at a dizzying $5.5 million! Now, the rarest of the rare can be yours for much, much less - in a precision-engineered classic as awesome as the real thing. Built by hand from more than 150 separate components, this superb model is crafted with the same passion as the legendary Carroll Shelby® devoted to the original. Every detail is authentic, down to the side-mounted exhausts and the precise re-creation of the powerful Shelby Cobra 427 S/C® engine under the hood. We've even duplicated the world-famous Cobra logo on the hood. Packed with realistic working features, painted and polished by hand, it's ready to roar its way into your collection now!

The 1966 Shelby® Cobra 427 SuperSnake® is without a doubt the Cobra to End All Cobras, as it was described by Road and Track magazine in 1968. Earning the title of SUPERSNAKE® after being transformed by Carroll Shelby™ into his own personal dream Cobra. To the already legendary Competition 427 Big Block he added twin Paxton Superchargers, raising the horsepower to 800. He joined this power plant to a Super 3-speed automatic transmission. Skinned with its European-styled, lightweight aluminum Competition body, this Cobra was truly the ultimate Muscle Car.

Its history is equally as impressive. CSX 3015 started out as full Competition roadsters without bumpers, mufflers or a windshield, built strictly for the European racing circuit, not public roads. Sometime in early to mid-1967, CSX 3015 was transformed into the SuperSnake® and reclassified as a street-legal 427 Cobra S/C™ (Semi-Competition), while retaining the heart of a full race machine.

History shows CSX 3015 to be one of only two SuperSnakes® ever built. The other, CSX 3303, was destroyed when its owner committed suicide by driving the car into the Pacific Ocean, leaving CSX 3015 the only surviving authentic Shelby® SuperSnake®. On January 20th, 2007, CSX 3015 made history again when it sold at Barrett Jackson for a record-breaking 5 million dollars, making this classic one of the most coveted automotive icons ever.

Now, the 1966 Shelby® Cobra 427 SuperSnake® is re-created in an extraordinary precision-engineered replica from Franklin Mint Precision Models. Authentic in every detail, the 1966 Shelby® Cobra 427 SuperSnake® Limited Edition is a die-cast model you will treasure for many years to come.

1966 Shelby GT-350 (1:24 Scale) 
The Franklin Mint Model No. B11F681 

Take one high-performance K code Ford Mustang Fastback, give it to Carroll Shelby® to tune, and what do you get? An incredibly fast and nimble pony car factory-tuned for the race track!

Introduced in 1964, the legendary Shelby GT-350™ was created out of a partnership with Ford Motor Company and legendary race car driver, Carroll Shelby®. The car was an instant success. Combining blistering speed and incredible styling, the GT-350® set a standard for street racers and track racers alike. In 1965, you could have this car in only one color - white with blue stripes. But by 1966, you could order your GT-350® in one of several colors, and this special Limited Edition model is offered in one of the hottest factory color combos - Sapphire Blue with white stripes.

Each precision replica is hand assembled from more than 200 separate components and packed with authentic details that are the hallmarks of Franklin Mint Precision Models. Every detail of the 306 horsepower 289 V-8 is replicated, right down to the spark plug wires. This model is so realistic, even the hood is made of real fiberglass - just like on the original car. Of course, this model also depicts the operating features discriminating collectors expect from a precision-engineered die-cast model, including operable steering, functional suspension and doors, hood and trunk that open and close.

April of 1964 saw the introduction of the Mustang, which immediately became one of the most popular cars ever sold by Ford. By August of that year, Ford approached Carroll Shelby® and asked him to experiment with the Mustang 2+2 Fastback to see if it could be made into a potential SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) racer. The result was the Shelby GT-350TM. It was a noisy, bear of a car-but exciting and fast. And it did win.

The 1965 GT-350® was such a huge success, Carroll Shelby® continued the regular production to include a 1966 model year. The only significant changes were mostly cosmetic and a few improvements for driver comfort and safety. Among them was the addition of a functional side scoop on the quarter-panel coves for channeled air to cool the rear brakes. A Plexiglas C-pillar window replaced the extractor vents, improving the large blind spot which menaced the Mustang Fastback and Shelby® in 1965. Additionally, the dual exhaust was re-routed to exit the rear of the car, which reduced the interior noise. With its new look and creature comforts, there were no compromises in performance. The race-bred 1966 GT-350® continued to be one of the most popular and widely recognized high-performance brands in the industry.

Franklin Mint Precision Models is proud to present this finely detailed and accurate reproduction of the 1966 Shelby GT-350TM.

1965 Ford Mustang 45th Anniversary Edition (1:24 Scale) 
The Franklin Mint Model No. B11G229 

Nothing says youth, America, performance and style like the Ford Mustang. Revealed mid-year to an unsuspecting public on April 17, 1964, the Mustang created a frenzy that would launch an entirely new category of cars into mainstream America - the Pony Car. Light, nimble, stylish and available with a wide range of optional engines and trim, the Mustang still delivers classic style and performance while accommodating virtually everyone's budget.

Exactly one year after the launch of this historic car, Ford announced that the 417,000th car would be released from production on the very day of that release. Delivered as a red hardtop with the potent 289 V-8 engine, this significant Mustang would go down in history as the icon of American automotive marketing and innovation. And now, to commemorate two important milestone achievements, The Franklin Mint is proud to present this 45th Anniversary model - 417,000 on 4/17, celebrating 45 years of style and performance with the classic 1965 Ford Mustang that started it all.

Ferrari Dino 246 GT 1000 KM of Nürburgring 1971 #83, (1:18 Scale)
The Franklin Mint Model No. V001119

During the 1960s, Ferrari began producing smaller-capacity sports racing cars and named them 'Dino'. They were even sanctioned and entered as a separate entity to events such as Le Mans.

The Dino 246 GT was an evolution of the Dino 206 GT, with a larger V6 engine and a wheelbase lengthened by 60 mm. Apart from the longer body, the design was virtually identical to the 206, with just a longer engine cover and a repositioned fuel cap. Between 1969 and 1974 a total of 2639 Dino 246 GT models were produced which made the Dino 246 the first Ferrari model produced in high numbers. When production stopped in 1973-74 demand was still high.

In 1971, German drivers Joachim Komusin and Siegfried Mullers entered one in the International Racing Club's 246 for the 1000 kilometers of Nürburgring. Wearing number 83, they finished a respectable 26th overall and 5th in class.

This 1:18 scale Ferrari Dino 246 GT, #83, by Mattel Elite has great history behind its inspiration!
