Yeah, not a Shelby but always a soft spot for the Mopars I have.  I marvel at those times where drag racing brought full grandstands and the whole scene was an amazing social event where Americans (as well as Canadians) were beanpoles in their youth.  Not a one out of shape.  It would be a pleasure to go back to that time if but for one day and enjoy the whole racing scene.  I was in high school then so I was on the tail end of the muscle car era, too young to drive, but old enough to lust after the cars and the lifestyle.  I plan to own a Barracuda some day.  Maybe a 72 to 74 with a 340 four speed.  If I can find one that is in decent shape.  The led very rough lives.  I will turn it into a time machine and go back to those days and never come back.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

I remember at Miami Hollywood those Hemis pulling up to the line, nothing sounded like them and most of the time you could jump in front of until mid track. Then it was adios

C'mon you've got my red GT350H - aspire to my first new car a 1970 Rallye Red Roadrunner. By the time it went away it had a very good 440 with a full manual B&M Torqueflite and would run in the mid-high 12s.
I've been looking a getting another but I just don't think it's a 60+ grand car and anything less is pretty much patched up junk. The 70 was a one year only body...... and you can even have gold stripes.  ;D

I do like the Roadrunner. 70 was a great year for them! I only want to add to the harem. Not subtract.
