I figure you Ford bubbas might like this. I made a visit to the Shelby museum on my most recent Vegas trip and was pleasantly surprised. All I wanted to do was sit in a Daytona coupe, but they were roped off. Shoulda done it after I was done taking pics.

A 427 with 2 fucking blowers! They were old school too.

They all had these oil coolers. Lovin the polished bodies too.

Guess what car this is? I had a suspicion from the moment I saw it.

This made me 90% sure.

His very first, the one that was stuffed away in a corner for how many decades? This place was cool. They give a free tour for the uninitiated, but there's always a tidbit you never knew. I'll leave you with this.

See if you can sniff out a GT350.

I should have specified a new one, I snapped a couple in my pics above.
