" This video is from the qualifying round, and Bill Shepard went on to earn a pole position. Unfortunately, the track flooded the next day, canceling the race, but leaving us with some awesome footage of Shepard piloting his ’63 Cobra around the ‘Ring. And boy, can that man drive! He passes plenty of cars, the 289 V8 singing a perfect symphony of internal combustion as he zips around classic Porsches, MG’s, and even other Cobras. " " You may have heard of Bill Shepard before. Perhaps not. He owns Bill Shepard’s Mustangs, which imports and acquires classic and modern Mustangs for sale to the British public. He has an extensive list of Mustangs for sale on his website, including a ’69 BOSS 429 Mustang and a ’67 Bullitt Mustang GT 390. We’ve got to admire this man’s taste in cars! The video is 14 minutes long, and well worth watching Shepard’s superb driving skills. The engine sounds alone are worth it. " Same video with link to Bill's web site: http://www.stangtv.com/news/video-14...n-a-’63-cobra/ |
I don't think that was a 289. Maybe a Windsor? Anyway it was one bad machine.

I keep meaning to reply but I keep rewatching and needing a cigarette afterwords. :D
