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!!

BTW - I'm really enjoying the www.ntxe-news.com - takes me back home. Thanks.

Good to see someone sneaked their Merc into the show.
Two Mercs if you count the Pantera.
Credit has to go to DeTomaso; L/M dealers just sold'em.
Fair enough, I wasn't sure how they were titled. The German/UK Capri's didn't have a single part that said Mercury but were titles as such, as best as I can recall. although the Aussie built 91-94's did, even though they were Mazdas except for sheetmetal. At least the Panteras had a genuine Cleveland built 335 series, fire-breathing, snot-stomping, 351ci monster V8 at the heart of them. Until the EPA figured out what was happening, anyway. F**k Nixon! :)
No clue how they were titled either - all I could do was look at'em and think, damn! that's gorgeous...
Nothing is prettier than a '70 Merc Cyclone. Bunkie screwed the pooch when he limited the Boss 429 to Mustangs.

All the sophisticated styling of a rum-runner Coronet-440, all the technical excellence of 72 Toronado! :)
