"Bill Shepherd of Bill Shepherd Mustang in his 1963 Shelby Cobra 289 in car footage of his qualifying session, and earning Pole position for the GT Master Race on the Nurburgring Grand Prix circuit"

Love that sound. Great to see the old girl being used for it's intended purpose

I wondered the same thing. He's passing a lot of pedigrees and not always in a straight line.

Wow! That's all kinds of insane. I just love to see the 289 destroying all of those vw's
Is that really an original cobra? If it is I'm glad to see that he's taking care of his investment

Thanks Sambo, made my day.

That 'old' Ford 289 has amazing throttle response. When he gets some clear track the speed is impressive, as is his ability. Great stuff Paul.

Are we sure that's an original CSX car? Re Bodied, if it is. Love to watch as he lets off the throttle & the front end settles. That's power!
