Gosh Rick, the chairs at the Toyota booth were so much more comfortable...

Nice to see how close it really is to the concept, unlike the GM guys who think if they dulplicate the emblems, them we must be close enough.

Oh man, Bob Lutz is not gonna like this...

I have some money coming from Nigeria, who do I call to invest?

pack your bags boys, we're going to Nigeria!

Living in the St Louis area, I have to listen to that ass clown on a regular basis. I compare himn to Al Sharpton, the only difference is Archbishop Burke uses religion where Sharpton uses percieved racism.

I have no problem leaving the Corvette in, just make the owner stand outside....

I would love to see a national drivers license for people who really know how to drive. Cost a few hundred a year and allows you speed when you want as long as there is no traffic.

I'm afraid I'd screw up coloring it

Yes they still make the visable V8 Around $75 still cool

Carroll Shelby, The early years

No offence, but wouldnt it just be safer to buy a aftermarket wiring harness from Painless or one of the other dozen or so companies? We always tell people building a car is like rehabbing a house, always upgrade the wiring and plumbing first. Then worry about the siding (paint) and the carpet (interior)

Considering the guy built it in his garage, and not some fancy shop, Its very impressive. The phots of the bare metal and chassis are very cool.

As much as I love building hot rods, I would have to agree. This one is kinda like a huge tree in the middle of a forest, would be a shame to cut down. I remember watching "American Hot Rod" last year and they cut up a really nice model T just to build a Bonneville salt flat car. I seen the car at SEMA and thought, of

It has turned into an interesting part of our sport, when before the value was percieved because of who owned it. Now its who built it, or put their name on it. And if the value of these cars do suddenly jump because of a death, will be start to see more "signiture" builds to pump up vehicle value?

There seems to be a belief that these cars are considered "rolling art" which I can agree, but when will we start to price our hobby we love into an area that nobody can afford?

Serious question, Mr Shelby does pass on, what will it do to an already pricy market? Will a 2 or 3 million dollar car suddenly be worth more? And what about other cars built by the big name guys such as Foose, Coddington, Trepanier and others do when they get older?
