Ahhh excellent work! I kept looking around the Long Beach area.

Didn't Shelby work on the GT40 as per the Le Mans movie with Matt Damon as Shelby and Christian Bale as Ken Miles (for Le Mans 66)...? GT40 MK1 or MK2?
My initial thoughts were Long Beach or Surfer's Paradise as that doesn't look anything like Monaco. Maybe one of the newer F1 city circuits - like Valencia. But I wouldn't know anything about those, so LA it is :)

I’m hoping for the cobra coupe

The Gt40 would be amazing, but they should just do a detail up set for the Meng kit

Maybe the FIA 289 Cobra....A GT350 would be cool as well or the Daytona...really hope its not another GT40, love the car but its been done enough already. A trans kit/detail set for the Meng or Trumpeter would be nice though.

Unless I'm wrong, I haven't seen a kit of an MK1, MKIV or the Mirage M1 in 1:12 scale. There is an MKIV diecast out there with a steep price tag if it can be found anywhere...

I think it can be a shelby cobra as they did a cobra in the past, not much to be changed to do the Shelby version.
Take a stand!
