    I was just enjoying these photos from the Larry Miller Museum at Miller Motorsports park and was wondering if anyone knows which Shelby and related cars he owns?

    Check out the photos on the Autoblog website.

    Does anyone have a list of the cars he owns? I am curious to know how many he has now. I know he has bought quite a few at auction in the last few years continues to buy more.

    Wow, just recently, 4/26/1944 - 2/20/2009. I didn't know. Quite a loss. I knew that Bill Murray would often race his cars and I've see several of them at the Shelby American Collection. I am still curious which cars he owned since many of them had significant race history.

    There are several in the Shelby collection alone there in Boulder. I paid special attention to that because I was there the weekend after his funeral.

    I know some of his cars have been in the Shelby American Collection at one time or other. They rotate cars on display in the Shelby American Collection so I guess you never know what you're going to see until you walk through the door. That's a good reason to stop by regularly. :thumbup:
