Shelby American Collection in Boulder, Colorado

It's a fun place to visit. But whatever you do, DON'T mention you own a replica. That always ends the conversation right away. They get pretty snooty about that.

Yes - I agree! I was there this past summer for my son's wedding, and after I mentioned Factory Five, they ignored me pretty much after that!

When I was there in 2003 they did not even want me to take any pictures! There were too many people trying to build exact replicas to dilute the market was their logic. Good to see they moderated a little. I am also sure it depends on who is at the counter that day too.

It was interesting the size of the frame rails as the serial number went up. The gt40s were stunning.

I was there on Nov 18th and took these pictures of cobras I hadn't seen there before.

The first cobra was there (CSX 2000) which sold for 13.5 million:

First time I had seen a original Daytona coupe in person:
