Today I would like to show you the 1971 Ford Torino Cobra in Light Green. This excellent model is from American Muscle, item number 992. It has been cast in 1/18 scale.

This model is part of the Elite Editions series. It features careful attention to detail at a slightly lower price point for the budget-conscious collector.

It is mostly diecast with some highly polished electro-plated chrome parts and a few plastic parts.

The hood opens to reveal the incredible engine and engine bay. As you can see it is incredibly detailed and very realistic.

The doors also open, offering a better view of the interior.  Inside you will find a detailed dashboard, felt "carpet" flooring, realistic pedals, gearbox, and door handles.

It even features full function steering.

The seat backs fold forward so your friends can ride in the back!

Although neither of these images captured them, the door panels are also quite detailed.

It also features window louvers on the back window.

This model also has realistic headlights, front grill and a license plate.

The trunk opens and is stiff enough to stay open. Inside you will find a spare tire, a tire iron and a fun, plaid lining.

The back side is just as detailed as the front. It has the "Torino" license plate, lights and the cobra badge. There is even a key hole on the trunk!

It features the cobra logo on the side of the car as well.

This is a beautiful replica, American Muscle really put a lot of care and detail into it.
