Russia, Russia, Russia! (But I'd collude with that. )

Didn't you mean collide?

Holy cameltoe!

Ya know, I didnt even notice that when I posted it. I just really thought the bike was cool.

Maybe that's more accurate since "collide" means "hit it".

What bike? All I saw were too young ladies who both seem nice

Lol. I can understand why you were tongue tied

I'd let that "cat" have my tongue for sure.

Yes. Yes I do

Shelby Daytona Coupe

 

[churchmouse]

Yes. Yes I do

Shelby Daytona Coupe

Winner.
There are maybe 3 possibly 4 of these left. 1 went for Millions at Mecums a few years back. It was Bob Bondurant's car.

You know how deep I am invested in my Fan boy for the Bow Tie but in truth the Cobras of all styles and the GT-40 are my favorite race cars.

Little history lesson..
The Shelby Daytona Coupe was designed to compete against Ferrari in the GT class at Le mans before Shelby was brought on by Ford to become heavily involved in adapting the GT40 to compete in the prototype class again against Ferrari

They were before my time, but I really can't think of any other car that has the lines, curves, stance quite like the Cobra, Daytona or GT40 (especially the Gulf color GT40)

The Gulf car is what set my mind on fire. I have heard a full on Cobra competition (not an SC) at full song at Daytona. It was amazing. I wish I could have heard a GT as well. My uncle lived (stationed) in Germany near the ring. He used to speak of these cars with awe.

I would have loved to hear one (any of them) at full song and working the throttle in/out of the twisty's. Dang I was born a generation too late

Those big Fords had a song all their own. Just different.

I had to look it up to refresh my memory of what I had been told.
Dan Gurney and Bob Bondurant won the 1964 24 hr of Le Mans in the Daytona Coupe racing in the GT class. Provenance like that and very limited numbers overall justify the millions price it was sold for. I would probably never leave my garage again if I had it

Yeah and their song is much different than hearing one at full song just running down a drag strip.
My dad still has his Gulf colored GT40 1:24 scale slot car from when he was a kid

Of course I do. Its just a little piece of unrestored history.
