This was the 5th annual show, it was a winner! Hotter than hell, about 98 F with 55% humidity, but that didn't stop a record turnout.

50th Anniversary (!!!!) 289 FIA Cobra, Viking Blue, it is a head-turner.

An original competition cobra

The Shelby American GT500 Super Snake, has 850hp!!

A Hertz Rent-A-Car Shelby Mustang

The new 2015 Mustang

There were lots of Shelby Mustangs, various late-model Cobra Mustangs, some Pantera's, etc. No telling how much that parking lot was worth with that vintage iron on it. The building in the background is Legacy Texas Bank: Aaron Shelby, executive vice president of Legacy Texas Bank and the grandson of Carroll Shelby. They threw a great event today!! (9 images)

If I were rich, I'd have a GT40, which I think I spot in there, if not more than one. The NOOOOOOOOISE! Not for country roads, though.

Yes, there were four or five late model Ford GT's, which are the new version of the GT40 that Ford sold for a couple of years back in 2004. You can see a couple of them at this SCAT club picture album, along with lots of Shelby Mustangs, late model Cobra Mustangs, and Mustang GT's/Mach 1's, etc. Picture #5 is a smoking hot red Mustang Mach 1 that had a constant crowd:

Only the original would do it for me. Spartan interior. Through-the-window entry. Mid-engine right behind the driver's seat. Tube frame. Roll bar. And the sound while driving, like nothing else.
