Carroll Shelby at Tasca Show Aug 25th

[Nantucket427]

The glove box was sign by the one and only man that started this craziness.
We got in line at 9:50 and finally got out around 12:30. The heat was something else.
Factory Five had alot of cars there, but only one superformance, White with a titanium stripes. Warren you were missed.
There were two more superformance cars up close to the building which at first lead me to believe they were originials. #1320 which is close to my number and a red one that I could not get close to(behind the velvet ropes)
Mustangs as far as the eye could see.
We did meet the guy at Tasca, that got the original cobra ready for sale. He had some interesting stories. He said you could not give them away for six grand. They took one to pick up parts in NewYork City. He said they got there real fast but his feet were burning up.

Hey Nantucket427:
You missed one SPF. I was all the way at the end, the 29th Cobra to show up. I had some good conversations with Sean, the owner of that White SPF you mentioned. Turns out our car numbers were less than 20 apart, nice guy.
Anyway, like you said the show was pretty much a "Mustang-Lovers" dream. It was great to see they gave us Cobra guys our own class though. Nice job to all who made the trip. About 1pm I too finally made the jump to step in line for a glove box signature from the "man". Unfortunately, the heat was too much for him because by 1:30pm, he called it a day. Oh well, I had only moved about 10 feet during that half hour anyway and it was F'ing HOT!! I guess if you really want it bad enough you can send items out to him in Vegas and he'll sign and send back. You wouldn't believe what people were having hiim autograph, one dude even brought up the whole trunk of his new Shelby Mustang and had him sign just under the spoiler.
I took a bunch of cool photos, I'll try to post them in another entry tomorrow. I'm still not that good at that but I'll to my best. Later
