I'm going to hang outside till they leave

 

sweet as hell, motor shots?

 

Very badass, I wonder if any of them are real and not the kits.

 

niice!

 

the maroon one in last pic had a "427 cobra" badge but who knows

they just left & by far the sickest one was the red one with HUGE scoop


sounded rediculous - people at work thought my k20a-ek with open header was loud the red one was definitely cammed & probably stroked too (if not a 502)

they headed towards lake george - im gonna see if I can track 'em down if I can get outta work

 

I took this pics lasst weekend at a quatermile event. Real or not, that thing was sick!! Father and son ran that monster together on the quatermile. Best time was a 11.5



N/A is Best :lol:

Doubtful.......guys that own originals for the most part won't drive them on the streets. They have to be insured for a million+ (no joke).

Edit: The above is nice but appears to be a kit as well.

 

Pics sucks but the interior of a "real" one to the best of my knowledge. Saw this @ Lime Rock last year (notice the dash plaque and Mr Shelby's autograph)

 

How much does it cost to build a kit car of one of those?

It can vary greatly, some turnkeys start in the 30's but can get really pricey. I would love to have a Factory 5 with a Ford HO 302. Budget Cobra and FUN FTW (I will have one for my 40th B-Day). My GN was my 30th

 

the maroon one's plate read "habu" LOL

yeah, all the real ones are signed by carroll shelby on the dash. thats usually a dead giveaway if it is real or not. and im pretty sure that real ones have a shelby badge in the engine bay as well

 

Carol Shelby will sign anything if you pay him enough, that's not absolute way to determine if it's real or not.

A good way to tell it's real is if it has an aluminum body.

yea most of these are kit cars, but dont tell the owner that! they'll swear up and down its autthentic. did that by mistake once

 

one of my dream cars

 

If I remember right Superformance who is the major maker of these replicas signed an exclusive deal with Shelby to build them and authenticate them as Shelbys but in reality they are all new replicas of the real 60's version.

Somebody above was right in saying that a real Shelby from the 60's could fetch upwards of a million dollars and you wont hardly find a real one on the road at anytime.

Most of the cars are probably kits but they are still clean
