Yeah, that car is far from street legal.

Tonite (Wednesday 8/2) is the Shelby Club meeting at Kimnach Ford. So if you want to see a few Shelbys come by. We usually park under the parts department awning. Anyone interested is welcome.

Kick ass car.

Nice article, crazy that one of the cars at the track was valued at $12 million dollars.

Not just "at" the track, but ON the race track, being driven by a very good driver near, if not at the limits. It was truly a great thing to see. In fact here are the 3 of them:



The one in the back is the $12M Daytona Coupe Cobra that won the GT class at LeMans in 1965. The #98 car was the one driven by Ken Miles, and used as the Shelby factory race development Cobra. The #21 car is the last of the original FIA roadsters. It was raced the most and has the most FIA wins of any Cobra.

I don't know the total value of that picture, but it would probably come close to buying the entire field of a typical NASCAR Nextel Cup race, for comparison.
