1970 Ford Torino Cobra Johnny Lightning 1:24












El Ford Torino es un automóvil del segmento D producido por la Ford Motor Company para el mercado de EE. UU. entre 1968 y 1976. Inicialmente fue una versión de lujo de tamaño intermedio del Ford Fairlane, que Ford USA produjo entre 1962 y 1970. Después de 1968, el nombre de Fairlane se mantuvo en los modelos base con menores niveles de ajuste de los modelos que llevaban el nombre de Torino. Durante este tiempo, se consideró el Torino una subserie del Fairlane. En 1970 el nombre de Torino se había convertido en el nombre principal, y el Fairlane era ahora una subserie del Torino. En 1971 el nombre de Fairlane fue eliminado por completo y todos los modelos fueron llamados Torino.
La mayoría de Torino fueron los coches convencionales, y en general los modelos más populares fueron los sedanes de cuatro puertas y techos duros de 4 puertas. Sin embargo, Ford produjo algunas versiones de alto rendimiento del Torino equipándolos con grandes motores de gran alcance, tales como el 428 CID (7 lt) y el 429 CID (7 lt) "Cobra-Jet". Estos coches se clasifican como los muscle car. Ford también optó por el Torino como base para sus participantes de NASCAR, y tiene una herencia de carreras de gran éxito.

1965 Shelby AC Cobra 427 Racing Revell 1:24












Like many British manufacturers, AC Cars had been using the Bristol straight-6 engine in its small-volume production, including its AC Ace two-seater roadster. This had a hand-built body with a steel tube frame, and aluminium body panels that were made using English wheeling machines. The engine was a pre-World War II design by BMW which by the 1960s was considered dated. In 1961 Bristol decided to cease production of its engine.

In September 1961, American retired race car driver and automotive designer Carroll Shelby wrote to AC asking if they would build him a car modified to accept a V8 engine. Bristol engines for the AC Ace two-seater sports car had recently been discontinued so AC agreed, provided a suitable engine could be found. Shelby went to Chevrolet to see if they would provide him with engines, but not wanting to add competition to the Corvette they said no. However, Ford wanted a car that could compete with the Corvette and they happened to have a brand new engine which could be used in this endeavor: the Windsor 3.6-litre (221 cu in) engine – a new lightweight, thin-wall cast small-block V8. Ford provided Shelby with two engines.
