nicely done, Ron.

It almost looks like a photoessay by moi!!!

Saw some Dallas friends at the Banquet. How coincidental that they made your photo.
That little black car with the yellow stripe sure looks nice.

Must make that event sometime.

Ron,
Hi from Mike in Cincinnati!
So how many coupes made the show? I saw at least two.
I know this is the Cobra forum, but did you get any pics or counts on R-models? I could not make it, but thanks so much for the pics!

Hi Mike....good to hear from you. Coupe round-up was a no-show..
...we had the two plus one I posted about...and that's it.

Just 2299, 2601 and the Willment... and they were all "local residents"

I did not get any info on the R-models there, sorry.

Thanks for all the great feedback and messages...

I will try and post some more images today, as I process them.
Thanks to Erik, CSX2009, for some fill-in pics from the Hi-Performance Motors Show area, taken Saturday a.m....I'll get some of them up as well.

I missed showing this one car in the previous portfolio...duh.

Not on purpose, since it is a pretty significant car...it was just because I have seen it many times and have done a few photo shoots of the car before.

Here is CSX2431, the Ken Miles car....

First, we gotta thank computerworks - man for the energy that went into the images and documentation. It was 98 air degrees, probably 100 and fifteen billion on the pavement - yep, hotter than the butt cheeks on a $3 hooker!

R types. To the best of my knowledge there was only one genuine R at the meet - pointed out by my friend Len who was racing. It was so plain and so hum drum that I may have walked right past in this arena of 30 or 50 (or more) GT-350s.

I have no images but the two most intersting cars were: a white vintage GT-40 and a little black '63 falcon T/A racer. For some reason I gravitate to the unusual cars at a meet.
