There is also a special Shelby Showcase at the Toronto auto show which features about 45 cars from the Larry H. Miller collection, Legendary Motorcar and other sources. I've pieced together the following list from news articles, and will update it as I find out more.

  • 1964 Cobra 289 FIA roadster (CSX2345 tbc)
  • 1964 Cobra 289 USRRC roadster (CSX2488 tbc)
  • 196? Cobra 289 street roadster, unrestored "barn find" (CSX2???)
  • 1965 Cobra 427 competition roadster, Essex Wire (CSX3009)
  • 1966 Cobra 427 street roadster (CSX3235)
  • two Cobra 427 roadsters, solid green and silver w/black stripes (CSX4000 series or replicas tbc)
  • 2004 Ford Shelby Cobra concept
  • 2005 Ford Shelby GR-1 concept

  • many more from 1965 to present

GT40s:
  • 1965 Ford GT40 MkI (P/1021 tbc)
  • 1967 Ford GT40 MkIV (J-4)
  • 2005 Ford GT

Cars once raced by Carroll Shelby:
  • stock MG-TC, live the one Shelby drove
  • 1952 Cadillac-powered Allard J2X
  • 1954 Austin Healey 100S, in Carrera Panamericana livery
  • Jaguar XK120, like the one Shelby drove

And other Shelby-related cars/vehicles:
  • Sunbeam Tiger
  • Dodge Viper RT/10 roadster
  • 1996 Dodge Viper GTS
  • 2000 Shelby Series 1
  • Shelby edition Harley-Davidson motorcycle

Unfortunately I can't make it to Toronto for the show, but maybe you're able and interested.

elmariachi would like to know if anyone's planning to attend the show. Maybe you can help him out too.
