What's the story on that classic, is it a factory shelby cobra coupe? Reminds me of a bullitt also. I know nothing about the classics, forgive my ignorance

Love it either way, hard to top that car.

I'm pretty sure the inspiration for it was the Green Hornet, which was the only Shelby coupe made and was a prototype.

Recently Shelby released the Black Hornet too.

Adrenolin's side ways oval air cleaner is something I have not seen before. Is there a reason for it?

Hey all.. Thanks for the nomination! Never really gave it a thought that our car would make it here with all the other great cars on this site.

reznap.. the car is a 67 Mustang C-code car and is not a Shelby.

tx65coupe.. While they are close to look at my wife had selected most of the colors and the look of the car before seeing the photos of the EXP500 Green Hornet.
The air breather was turned because the distributor and export brace are too high. A spacer is not an option as the 351w is too tall and it just fits under the hood now. I'm designing a new breather in the next day or so to have custom made. With the breather on 'sideways' COBRA will run along the front and 2 snakes, one at each end. Also hope to have it sit down lower on the carb.

I'll get a few more photos up in the next few days. I don't have too many shots in good lighting abd the shop lights yellow everything. We've been working on the car constaintly and the wife just arrived in town last night. It's been a couple months since we've seen each other so not alot of time for much else right now. Thanks again!

There is no defined catagory. The cars that are nominated are basically random and are to include all years.

Two of the cars I nomiated did not reply so they are not included. I had also picked a fox body and an SN95.

Thanks all. Here are a few more shots from this week. If there are any questions I'm happy to answer them though it might take a day or so.
