I love all the Knots Berry Farm show pics, anyone from SoCal knows this has been the go to Shelby/Ford show for decades ,i used to go when i was a teenager every year before i could afford a Shelby,just to see them all lined up.

Wow lots of opinions here as a previous owner of a lime green KR & a current owner of a Nightmist blue 67 ,i can say the lime green really grew on me & i got tons of compliments on it, as long as its a fresh pant job ,a real 60's vintage color .I sought out a Nightmist/Parchment for my 67 it took so long for one to come to market i ended up settling for an auto ,in the end but really love the fact that it an original color & wouldn't have it another way ,good luck & either way your gonna  love it i'm guessing.

This thing sounds great for those of you who have IG that's the link & turn the sound up ,for those of you who don't here's a couple screenshots .I wonder what kinda big $ this car would bring if it went to auction one day .

Same here i've seen him several times at local SoCal car shows quite a local legend

Why is it so many "corner benders" enjoy "straight liner" burnouts?  We do burnouts to heat the rubber for better grip. "Smoking" the tires on the track in a drag race will assure you of an "L" on your time slip. Must be an EGO thing LOL.

Not sure about anyone else but for me it's just fun & because we can, it just never gets old no matter old i get, i remember the day i got my drivers license on my 16th B-Day, i couldn't wait to do a smokey burnout in my mums Vista cruiser station wagon lol

Cool video & amazing it fired up so easily  for you,i love the hurst shifter & those center mounted twin tip exhaust tips looks, like she might have done some street racing in her day .

If your father built the first KR you can cherish that, and carry it with you for a lifetime. But as with most all of OL SHELS life, most of it is half truths to complete BULL SH.. How he got the Cobra name that came to him in a dream... to the GT 350 moniker came from the engine room was 350 feet from where they were standing. He had the gift of gab and we for the most part accept history with all the crossed up sideways dealings, the chicken rancher either said or did. It is all part of the SHELBY lore, and like BLACK BEARD the PIRATE that came before... Some of what history has said is true, the rest just fills in the story line of a man with a dream. (CS)  At this point in time most of those that were there in the beginning are gone, and their stories, just like the mens faces fade into the sunset. So if someone like wild Bill at the auction embelishes a bit on the story line I dont think most give it any 2nd thoughts. It just adds to the already wild ride that is our cars.

Perfectly said & just part of the history that we love & why were all here

Ok thanks Pete & that makes sense why i don't have them & i'm guessing that  means this car which i  found on Hemmings was converted to an inboard car.

Seems I don't have these and trying to figure out what these plates are i circled  ,do they help with cooling  ?, i see them on some cars & not on others ,was it an early  / late thing & do i need them  on #1724 ,if so where can i get them thanks

Congrats & enjoy ,thats amazing you got it running already now you can be the "King of the Road"

Some fixer-upper's

Can we get an update on this OP did Manny, Moe & Jack get this figured out or what ?

I notice it's being broadcast on NBCSN starting this weekend ,so i'm guessing all the good stuff is next weekend ,set mt dir already but do you guys think any of the memorabilia will be televised or just the cars ?

Looks like same people inside the car doing a little stick shifting   

I like THE END I'll give it a try
