I'm not a big fan of the drop tops, even though I still have my 1967 high school car... It would have to be a black OR a blue on white for me to buy in... Originally Posted by Stainless

Cant be 500 CI, the DOHC modulars do look huge but when the heads are off the block they look about the same as a 5.0 block. I dont think that the Shelby's recieved the 5.4 (330 inch) but they may now... WHen ford made the GTs a few years ago they were 5.4's... Originally Posted by Stainless

He called me up and told me to come over "I have something in my shop that you dont get to see every day"... He does DYNO days for the gateway shelby club, he used to work for SUN automotive...

Ted told me that there is an original Cobra here in Parker.
Im told that the owner of these two originals was having them prepped for some race that was supposed to take place before C.S. passed away but never ended up happening... THey were going to road race 25 originals??? SOunds insane to me...
OH, another neighbor has an original 289 car that belonged to his father... His dad took the original 289 HIPO out and sold it in a driver mustang in the mid 70's... My neighbors brother found the ORIGINAL ENGINE on eBAY a few years ago in the same CENTRAL ILLINIOIS area where his father sold the engine/mustang... There were markings on the engine from the guys father (he stamped his own ID in the block/heads/intake)... It is a story for SuperFord or Car Craft, amazing that he found the original engine some 30 years later AFTER his dad died and they did a full resto...
The story of how this neighbor purchased the complete small block COBRA was crazy in itself... I know the guy and his girlfriend well and know the story to be true...Last edited by 2manymustangs; 12-31-2013 at 10:38 AM.

SOHC and 427 cubic inches together is a joke.
So is the price of a Shelby.
