    In the beginning of December I ordered CSX4819 from Bill Andrews at H.R.E. in Freeport, NY. He spent alot of time with me showing me a new Blue 4000 that had just came in. The quality was incredible. It looked and felt terrific. I feel it is worth the wait to get a superior product. CW

    For starters there's 11 pictures here at ShelbyForums.com. Just click on Photos and then click on Shelby Automobiles and Concepts. The photos are right there labeled with HST in their title but you can also search the photo section for "HST" and the pictures will show up. There's a website with more but I can't remember where it is right now.

    Hello to everyone. My Cobra is CSX4252, aluminum body, new/old stock 427 side-oiler, Shelby aluminum heads, Weber 48IDA's, Top Loader, MSD ignition, American Racing Torq-Thrust wheels on pin-drive hubs, Sport Car Special tires, aluminum trunk with booster pumps, Rebat batteries behind passenger seat, Carroll Shelby's autograph on passenger-side sun visor. Built by Billy Andrews at HRE and delivered in August of '04.

    Recently won class and special Award of Excellence at Boston World of Wheels show. Already have 1000 miles on it and many more to come! I'm a little green at posting photos on this website so if anyone can give me some instructions, I'd be grateful.

    Tim,

    Could you post a picture of your sidepipes. I think that I have side pipes that no other prson has. At least no CSX I have seen yet. Was told that they were a prototype that Shelby was thinking about using but decided against it because of cost. The person claimed that the side pipes I have add about 7-10 H.P. over the current ones used. Was surprised when he saw them on my Cobra.

    CSX4236,

    I saw your car when it was at HRE a few months ago, it is awsome. I have had a similar car on order. Please tell us all how the car drives. I too have ordered the the All Aluminum Shelby 427 with the Tremac 5 speed. How did you feel when you first drove it? When you first cruised at 65MPH? Was it as fast as you had hoped? These questions may sound silly but to those of us who are waiting you are own only link to the future.


    Thanks,

    Conrad

    Morgan ,
    Here are my side pipes.
    Do you have a top loader and lakewood bell housing ? if so can you give me the lenght of your drive shaft ? that would speed things up for me.Who sells the rear flange/yoke ? do you know if it is interchangable with any thing else ? thanks ,Tim
