About the Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe #11 S. Thompson 24 Hours of Le Mans 1965 CMR 1:18

TL;DR: CMR's 1:18 diecast Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe wears the #11 S. Thompson livery from the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans, with opening doors revealing the cabin. This is a used example; the packaging shows storage marks while the model itself is unaffected. A distinctive American GT racer for a Le Mans display.

The Daytona Cobra Coupe was Carroll Shelby's answer to the aerodynamic limits of the open Cobra roadster, a slippery fastback built specifically to beat Ferrari at its own endurance-racing game. CMR's diecast carries that racing intent at 1:18.

Diecast Build and Opening Doors

Zinc alloy construction gives this casting real weight, and the opening doors add a genuine display dimension rather than a static shell. Lifting a door reveals the cabin detail behind it, roll cage structure and a period-correct dashboard rendered at a scale small enough to test any tooling. The doors swing on a defined hinge and hold their position rather than drifting shut, a mechanical trait that matters on a race car where the cabin tells much of the story. Diecast's structural strength is what allows this kind of articulation without compromising the body's shutlines, a tradeoff resin bodies handle differently at this same subject.

A Le Mans Entry Worth Displaying

The Daytona Coupe's competition career centered on international GT racing in the mid-1960s, and the #11 livery ties this specific casting to the 1965 Le Mans field, a race defined by the ongoing Ford-versus-Ferrari rivalry that the Cobra program fed into directly. As a used example, the piece carries honest wear-of-ownership signals on its box rather than the model, and buyers should expect a previously displayed casting rather than a factory-sealed one. That context matters less once it sits on a shelf: the Daytona Coupe's fastback profile is distinctive enough to anchor a 1960s endurance-racing theme on its own, and its opening doors make it a more interactive centerpiece than most sealed-body competitors from the same era. Pair it with contemporary Ferrari or Ford GT liveries from the period to build out a broader Le Mans narrative.
