My car is in the body shop getting a total re-paint. When I stopped by the other week, this was parked on the street, my painter had done this some years back. NOW, my wife wants a '67 Shelby!

One of the best looking cars ever IMO. A friend of mine that I work with thinks these are ugly.

I agree with you, it's a pretty cool lookin' car. The looks of a Shelby are lightyears ahead of all those gunmetal metallic "Eleanor" clones some guys spend money on.Now I may stir the poop here, but, to me, the customized Shelby-ish abortion built for the Nicholas Cage "Gone In Sixty Seconds", is ugly to me. It's like someone was trying TOO HARD to build a movie car. Just as the original movie should have used Mach 1s at least, if not Boss 351s.....the second movie should have used authentic looking Shelbys. Originally Posted by Sharp shooter

No, I wish I had. I was at many drag races of that era. Lions, Irwindale, Orange County, Carlsbad, OCIR....magical time to be young. When you really study this candid photo of '71/'72, and identify every car here, what today, isn't bitchin or a collector car in the picture ??? Funny, the closest 'strip to me was San Fernando...and I've never been there. Originally Posted by Sharp shooter
