COol. I know a couple people that work at a place called McCluskey Ltd not too far from me. They build these cars. I believe they done some work for Caroll Shelby as well. They have some bad ass cars over there. It's a trip to see how they build these from the ground up.

Carol Shelby is a very intelagent man! I wounder why the cobra is so much more popular than the Chrystler Cunning ham?

Cool EH!
Congratulatiosn and enjoy!
My father and I are attending Shelby's open house in Las Vegas in 2 weeks.
My dad has an Shelby American 427 Cobra with an all aluminum 500 ci Tunnel Port with a Richmond behind it. This car really scoots! He is bringing it to Las Vegas and attending the event. The event comes with open track time at LV Motor Speedway which he is really looking forward to!
Take care,
Don

Nice cars! My friend has one of Shelby's Continuation Series Cobras. It has an all aluminum 480 FE engine with electronic fuel injection. He always goes to that SAAC meet at Vegas.

So, is it really blasphemous to want one of these with a late model Corvette Z06 drivetrain?
425 horsepower small block with a rear transmission... Bad!!!!
