My Trip to ShelbyFest

[quote=Tenrocca;946876] Amen to that.

Whats your CSX number on that Cobra there soulman?

FYI..Tenrocca.

Full registration in Vic.
REGO Label Says..
1965 Ford Roadster
VIN CSX 3085

Im very honoured to call it Kirkham, as the guys build the Shelby bodies and chassis and a heap of other stuff for Shelby. The Shelby of old unfortunetly is long gone..All their is now a marketing machine that would put the great mans name on anything.
The Kirkhams are a class act and are replicating the same energy that Shelby had 40 years ago.
I bought my car from the States registered as a 65 Shelby- is it a real Cobra ..Definetly.
Is it Genuine Cobra..Definetly not.
Is it better than a continuation Shelby, if you know about qaulity and engineering..Definetly.

As far as it sitting too low...thats how racing cobras were set.

Im offended if you think my BUM looks out place..

Surely i can get someone else stirred up out there.
Soulman.
