I was at the gallery last night for the exhibition. I can tell you they were beautiful pieces. The one of the cobra shown was the best in my view, but he had a nice one of a GT40 in gulf colors that was great as well. The run about $2k each

These would make some cool shirts!

It appears that the artist, who obviously knows something about the cars, drew inspiration more from one of the replicas than the actual shelby! I dig the GT picture.

Camilo is an interesting guy. He was on the design team for the Ford GT. Several years ago at Carlisle I had the Backdraft GT on display and they asked me to bring it over to the GT gathering. Next thing I know "a guy" says he wants to drive the car... which is a little forward but I stalled him. Few minutes later he is signing GTs (the actual cars) so there's the lightbulb.

We went for a spin about 45 minutes and got some great stories about the GT, why there was no Daytona after it, and doing business with Mr. Shelby.
