A few pics I took at a local car show last year featuring two iconic (and original) legends: The Shelby Cobra and the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe. Together these two took Best of Show and are both lovely examples. The Daytona even has signatures from not just Carroll Shelby but prominent race car drivers of the day like John Morton. Was a pleasure to see in person.

1925 Dodge Roadster with 440 V8. I'm guessing rear tires don't last long on this little beauty.

I've never been the biggest Nova fan, but holy hell this is nice.

A track-nose roadster is always a winner in my opinion.

Fantastic little motor in that T. Emphasis on little. It's a Simca-Ford flathead V8 coming in at 136 cubic inches, or 2.2 liters, with Ardun hemi heads.

Apparently this was one of one in this color.

Mustang perfection, imo. I love the period 'Trans Am racer' style mixed with a bit of street racer aggression:

Is this a real Code red edition Shelby GT500?

1971 AMC Gremlin with a Cummins diesel out of a '56 Dodge truck. And turbocharging. Lots and lots of turbocharging.

"P-32". I get it. Looking at the six exhaust pipes, I'm wondering which engine they've got in it. Chevy Stovebolt? Mopar Slant Six? 240cid straight six out of my dad's old '72 F-100? AMC 232cid straight six? RB26DETT?
