Scalextric 1963 AC Shelby Cobra 289 Bill Shepherd #47 1:32 Slot Race Car

"We're lighter and faster, and if that don't work, we're nastier," as stated by Matt Damon playing the role of Carol Shelby, a visionary, in the film Ford vs Ferrari, who was pushing to go farther and faster. Upgraded by Carol Shelby himself, the AC Shelby Cobra 289, showcasing Ford's short-stroke 289 cu. in. V8 engine under the hood, was born to become a champion and has become one of the most collectible cars.

Just like Shelby, Bill Shepherd has felt the call to the race track since a young age and was hooked, starting to race in the 1970s and achieving quite a bit of success. After an eight-year hiatus, he found his way back in 1986, realizing the potential of older cars and that they were easier on the pocket book, finding success in his niche. He has seen decades of success in historic racing and is now working and racing side by side with his son Fred at Bill Shepherd Automotive.

In 2021, Romain Dumas, a two-time Le Mans winner, could be seen behind the wheel of this 1963 AC Shelby Cobra at Goodwood, racing for Bill Shepherd. Dumas would have placed first if it weren't for a pesky late time penalty for a pit-stop infringement.
