I love the details

CS t-shirt
The cop wandering through
The hacksaws - tools all over the place
The state of the art drill press
The GT40's up the back

Great photo

Thumbs up

Just a magic part of time in motor racing history, which, we will never see again.
A kind of innocence and expectation and people doing it because they loved it more than any financial gain to be had.

It came out with a super rare alloy block 390 FE. So what was a used/modified race car worth when Shelby offloaded it...?



It's worth millions now
