I was out working a ways away from home over the summer and everyday I passed by this shop and I drooled over the vehicles they had there...
These cars are my DREAM car... I have wanted one of these since I was about 6 years old.
Anyhow, today I made a point to swing into the shop and see if they would let me poke around and drool if I promised to mop up my mess, they said "no problem"... here were my findings:

a 427 CID Roush/ Carrol Shelby motor look closely you can see the valve covers have scales engraved into them in a 3d pattern... these covers are valued at 3k and also notice the air filters as well have the same feature, each of these is valued at 600 each

I know lots of you guys say "keep it stock" but MAN do I love seeing modern upgrades and modern styling on these cars...
This one has power steering with fuel injection. power brakes with 4 piston calipers all around provided by baer brakes and MAN I REALLY LIKE THOSE 22'' out back and 20" up front it really compliments the overall curvature of the car... truly the most beautiful car ever made... sorry Mr. Enzo Ferrari
Sorry Mr. Farouchio Lamborghini.... the AC cobra takes the gold, platinum whatever you wanna call it WE WIN!!!!

My buddy had a black Cobra in his shop on Monday for overheating. It was a beast with the 427 and Edlelbrock intake and FI conversion.
