    I thought I would post this here too. Some short videos on an yearly event when you can see and hear REAL Cobras, Shelbys and race cars driven on the street. It's the Fabulous Ford Weekend at Knott's Berry Farm in California. It's a mile long line up of great Ford powered cars (2000+) trying to get into the parking gates at 7:00am. Just standing there and watching a line of real cobras (even a comp 427 cobra) driving down the street then idling and waiting to get in brings back those old great memories of when these were cars to be driven. It's not often any more you get to see a 1970 Boss mustang cutting off a 1965 GT350 at a parking lot driveway. After 2 hours, there was still an endless line and of high powered cars coming in. And it is free to all spectators. :thumbsup:

    Glad you enjoyed them. One thing, all the vintage Shelbys are very close to "as delivered" by the factory. The new Shelbys are going away form stock. I would say more than 3 out of 4 have been personalized. Most have one or more non-stock items like: chrome parts, air filters, valve covers, braces, struts, bushings, tires, stripe delete, add on guages and the autographed interior. Hey better stock up on those NOS parts now cause in 45 years, air filter bracket nuts will be worth a bunch :)
