If you like COBRAS like I do then you need to check this out!
[B]Those of you that know me know that I absolutely LOVE Cobras. My older brother worked at the Ford Plant in Milpitas where they made the Shelby Mustangs in the early 70's. I fell in love with the Cobra when I first saw it at 15 years old. A family friend purchased one. Another friend of mine purchased one of the Shelby GT350H models and I was lucky enough to drive it one time. An experience I will never forget!
I attended a Memorial Service for Carroll Shelby last Saturday and this was unbelievable. There were over 250-300 Cobras, Shelby Mustangs, GT40's and Sunbeam Tigers, as well as other Shelby powered vehicles there in attendance. It was a very fitting tribute to a great American Icon and father of the Cobra. The original Drifters showed up and sang the National Anthem for those in attendance.
Wife and I took over 200 pictures. Here's just a few I thought I would post.

Allan,
If you look carefully at Pic.#2; on the right side towards the rear is a Shelby Dodge. When I get home from work; I'll see if I have a better picture of it.

Ya I saw that one Dave. Looks like a white Shadow CSX. Wondering if there were any GLH or GLHS models. My bro had a CSX. 2.2l turbo with 18lbs boost. Quick car!

I see Dodge Shadows, Shelby Cobras, GT40s, oh my word! I can only imagine the sound as all those engines fired up at once! It probabaly made a NASCAR race seem quiet.
Re: If you like COBRAS like I do then you need to check this out!
@Classicfan1; I have a video of the special tribute when all the cars in attendance started thier engines for 45 seconds to honor the man. Great Sound! I'll see if I can post it here. I posted it on my Facebook page the other day.
I'll try to post some more pics tonight or this weekend of more cars.
