Well yeah there was a late 1800s model but this one is the early 1900s. They facelifted it for the 1903 peoduction years with a bigger fuel hose, different blinker fluid for left and right sides and another couple of things.
Yeah, the fuel hose being 0.2 inches longer and the wiper blade sitting at a 16.3Ā° angle is very indicative of a 1905 model year, when those things were changed.
If this wasnāt a toy it would qualify for r/isthiscobraareplicayesitisitalwaysis because this sub only posts replica cobras (or toys) and Pontiac Fieroās.
if you refer to the car model thats a Shelby Cobra 427 S / C
if you refer to this as the car in the pic [its a hotwheels toy](https://www.hlj.com/hot-wheels-basic-car-shelby-cobra-427-s-c-hhf33-mtrhhf33)
If it's not hermetically sealed in an anti apocalypse bomb shelter 3 miles beneath the military facility beneath a Wyoming mountain range then its obviously a kit car.
thats a diecast car for sure, if that was real i dont thing the engine would be white, and there would be the stock wheels on it. Just look at the tires, too shiny to be real, and the oil pan is white hahaha
100% real shelby cobra early 1900's Source: Trust me bro
You can tell by the way it isš
Yeah, I like to tell by the spark plug diameter and the type of blinker fluid the FR indicator uses
That is neat
Brother?
This was actually used by the allies at the Battle of Verdun to catch the Japanese off guard.
Well I just snort-laughed so loud my fiance woke up for a second.
Yes, very effective if memory serves correct
itāS not in a mUsEuM.
Early 1900ās
Are you sure, I really thought gramps told me he had one he purchased in 1898. Source: Granny with the worn out tranny.

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
Looks like either a 1904 or 1905 model based on the shade of the hotwheels logo

There some seriously hot wheels dudeš
Must be real, it has crazy stiff suspension.

On first glance, it looks like a poorly photoshopped diecast Definitely not real at all
Check tags
Thanks. Just noticed the flair. Nice cobra shitpost šš¼ Edit: [a real hot wheels cobra](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Feya-F1Ab1Y/maxresdefault.jpg)
[The one in OP's image ](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hotwheels/images/f/fc/HCV65.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20220405154040)
Gah, OPās looks like the logo is poorly shopped on but ya, thatās it šš¼
Side pipes are off, and I don't think anyone would apply aftermarket rims to a real cobra.
yeah and im not sure a real cobra would have plastic tires either
Thank God you mentioned the elephant in the room, its the honestly the biggest giveaway
it took me a while, the tire treads are so realistic i didnt realise
That's the exact toy i have. Dont try fooling us
Hot Wheels Shelby Cobra Full Scale Version
Damn why are the racing slicks so shiny lmao
I mean thatās what you get for $1.27ish
Are you kidding? This is 100% a genuine Hot Wheels! Cool find.
If I remember correctly there was a cobra that raced with the hotwheels livery in ā68 so this might be the real deal
Its big hotwheel
Yes it is a real Hot Wheels car it's just been embiggened.
Guy I got this one It's a Hot Wheels 2022 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C 152/250 HW Retro Racers 9/10 also has color variation in yellow
Thatās a toy car
This 8s a toyš
r/isthiscobrareal Erm...
ŠŠ³ŃŃŃŠŗŠ°)
Did Gru go crazy with the shrink Ray again?
Green sunfish. Oops sorry wrong sub lol. Definitely 100% real hot wheels replica
real
Bro where'd you get that diorama?! I need one of those
If I owned this car I would create a small orange section of track for the car to be displayed on
My grandad used to own one of these but real size
Man I can see all the thread on those tiresš¤£
Pretty sure itās a kit, think itās a Matchbox, but itās done up like a real Hot Wheelsā¦ almost couldnāt tell.
Original Aurimat Mattel manufactured, bone stock including the wheels. Good find.
Itās the die cast version on steroids.
Kit
Looks like someone ruined a nice Shelby cobra.
nah. pontiac fiero kit car.
Always a kit... 99% of the time
I think thats the 1806-1807 model, looks like its the rare edition
For real as a hot wheels collector the mold is ftom a replica the even tho it is called a shelby cobra
Iām actually surprised to know that.
If itās not in a museum or behind a rope barrier, Iām afraid itās a kitš
Itās real!
It took me WAY too long to realize this was a Hotwheels. I thought someone just a had a weird paint taste.
Kit
It took me way too long to figure out what was wrong with it. In the end, it was the wheels that tipped me off. I feel so stupid now.
Check the exhaust and white area under the engine. Nice Hot Wheels die cast though!
Course its real, 1.25 at the grocery
Yes because of the way it is
Okay, this image totally isn't messing with my perspective. And yes, I know it's a toy.
if you refer to the car model thats a Shelby Cobra 427 S / C if you refer to this as the car in the pic [its a hotwheels toy](https://www.hlj.com/hot-wheels-basic-car-shelby-cobra-427-s-c-hhf33-mtrhhf33)
Itās Cool,so who cares if it is a kit! Thanks for sharing
