I don't own one but I love vintage Shelby cars. My favourates are the 289 powered 2000 series, but would also love a 65 GT350 or 427 Cobra street model. I have an extensive library of books on Shelby cars and always enjoy seeing them at shows and other events. I live out my shelby fantasies in scale by building models of shelby cars. I got hooked on Cobra's when I was at the ford dealership at 9 years old. My Mom was getting some work done onr 1967 Ford Country Sedan wagon. (red on red 390 4bbl, no woodgrain) and saw a 427 Cobra sitting in the employee parking area. I was staring at it when the owner jumped in fired it up, pulled onto the street and proceeded to burn rubber the full length of the block. "Holy S**T!* I exclaimed, which raised an eyebrow from my mother and earned me a mouthful of Ivory Soap when I got home. All in all it was well worth it.
