My husband has this same car -'65 Shelby Cobra Factory Five- & the same color, so I asked my Grandson to build this set for him. He enjoyed it very much! He is 8 years old & has been building 18+ Legos since he was 5. He now builds using the 3D instructions on the Lego Builder App on his iPad. He really liked all the detail: the tools & toolbox; the "Hundo" for the dash!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The build process was a lot of fun and straightforward. I do have to deduct a little for having stickers in the kit. They unfortunately never look as good as a printed piece and the destination legos are not embossed in any way to assist with centering. The rigidity of the rear quarter panels was also a little lackluster compared to the Porsche 911 set, but you only notice if you give it a wiggle. Overall a ton of fun and mostly worth the price.
Either I have the worst luck in the world or Lego has a quality control issue because at least a third of the sets I buy are missing pieces. And this one is no exception. And to make matters worse, when I went to order the missing pieces for this set, the part number doesn’t exist according to them. Then I went through all of the available parts for this set and it’s not there either. I tried to chat with someone and waited forever.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Loved building this set and I think it looks great. I only wish it was a little bigger or the price was a little lower(said everybody to ever buy a lego set lol)
Love it. It's complex to build, but fun as well! It's not a toy for sure, but looks amazing. The scale is spot on for some reason. The seats suck, won't stay in place....but it's not a toy lol! Only complaint: instructions. The darkish gray background and Ford blue pieces are hard as heck to see in anything but bright light. And I know, Ford blue (sigh), but again? Still, this things amazing! 🙃
Very first time I've had a product shipped with missing parts. Fortunately, I had pieces that would suffice. Two are somewhat buried in the build and not exactly correct an another I cobbled together with 2 other parts and it is in an obvious spot and looks bad. All from Bag 5.
