    The "John McComb" Mustang is my cousin's. About halfway down the page, the right. Helluva driver. '67 A Sedan national champion, in his '66 Shelby Mustang.

    The car pictured here is, I think, a different Shelby Mustang. Yes, he had two of them, bought them new from Carroll and raced the s**t out of them both. Sold them both in the last few years.

    I think we should all pick famous cars and paint our cars to look like them.
    I take dibs on the blue/yellow Penske Camaro.

    See that Farimont with monster fender flares?

    I recall GM putting out a Monza with a sad V8 and tupperware glued on the side and called it a Mirage I believe ... circa 1978?

    I'd like to know where these cars go when they are retired... most likely to a race car museum or private collections, but it would be neat to have some more circulate in vintage races.
