Bold & Unmatched: Shelby Cobra 427 S/C 'Ferrari's Ass Is Mine' in 1:18 Scale by Kyosho"
Even in the rarefied world of genuine Shelby Cobras, this CSX1000 series 427 is a standout, one of just two built out of a planned production of 10 "FAM" edition examples. Personally commissioned by Carroll Shelby and part of a 14-car group produced by AC Motor Holdings (formerly AC Cars), its designation will be no secret to Shelby history buffs. The FAM moniker stands for "Ferrari's ass is mine," the promise Shelby was alleged to have made after losing the 1964 World Manufacturer's Championship to the Machiavellian man oeuvres Ferrari engineered at the end of the season. True or not, the phrase has become yet another part of the mythology surrounding the Shelby phenomenon, and this 427 Cobra, CSX1010, builds on that jibe with the signature Ferrari color pairing of Rosso Corsa paint and a tan leather interior. Previously owned by the late actor Paul Walker of "Fast and Furious" fame, the car sports a hand-rolled aluminum body built by AC craftsmen and adorned with special "FAM 427 Special Edition" badges in place of the standard "Cobra" and "Shelby 427 SC" emblems.
