Monagram has been revived and includes Cobra Daytona Coupes in their 1/32 slot cars line. As mentioned, Ninco, Reprotec, and MRRC have Cobras in their lineups. The Reprotecs may be tough to find. It was a few years ago when they were out, and not many vendors sold them. MRRC has the most available currently...Some special commemorative editions are almost too nice to run.

Carrera makes a nice '66 Shelby available in several colors. Scalextric makes nice Trans-am as raced and street version Boss 302 Mustangs.

I think several companies make GT 40s as well

Keep in mind you need two cars of the same brand for FAIR match racing on your track. The motor and magnets used by each manufacturer can make a big difference.

I've purchased examples of all the brands mentioned, plus vintage Revell and Scalextric Cobras off eBay. Most stay in their boxes.

Do a search for slot cars on Google. I have ordered from several of the big slot car stores that you'll see, with no problems. I even ordered some Reprotec Cobras from England...they were easier to find across the pond. Have fun racing or collecting.
