For those who may not be aware or made the connection, Murray Racing is Bill and Dave Murray, who also own/operate the Shelby American Collection in Boulder/Longmont. They have restored a lot of Cobras and GT40s but do so in a rather under the radar screen manner. The insiders are certainly aware of them but the rest of the world not so much.
In any case, a visit to the Shelby American Collection is worth your time if you happen to be in the Denver area. They are only open on Saturday 10-4 so plan accordingly.
(I used to live about 10 miles away and went at least 4 times a year.)
Edit: I had intended to state but forgot as I rewrote a portion that Steve Volk is also an owner of the museum.
