Nice car! It looks like a GT350. Do you know how the GT350 got its name? The answer is in the book Shelby Cobra by Friedman. Let me know if you want the short version. LOL

And yes, the car gets a lot of looks, especially from the kids.

Yep... the "350" refers to the estimated distance in feet between Shelby's office and the production facility... or something like that. I believe I read that in Shelby's Wildlife: the Cobras and the Mustangs.

BTW, if you've not seen it, check out the specs on Carroll's recent "remanufactured" vehicle, the GT-350SR.

Then there's *this* interesting bit of work (see www.SN65.com for the project journal). Amazing...
