So I took my new to me Cobra to it's first show. It was held at the Gilmore Museum in Hickory Corners, MI which is about an hour south of Grand Rapids.

I have lived in Grand Rapids for 33 years and had heard about this place but today was the first time I had ever visited. WOW what a place, I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

Looks like you had a great time. The photo of the Selby in great and seeing that the original big block Shelby was just pushing 425 hp. I wonder if that is flywheel or rear wheel horsepower. I also, wonder how much torque the engine is/was producing?

I think they should brush up on their Shelby history. They've labeled a roadster as a 427/SC, and their production number is based on the SC instead of the street version, too.

There were 260 427 street cars built. Because 427s weren't available, most of them had a 428 engine, but no one seems to know the exact numbers. The 428 produced 390HP. By the end of production, they had 427s again, so this is probably a 427 car. The 427 produced 425HP and 480 lbs. torque.
