    The Shelby Lone Star Prototype / Have Any Of You Seen This Car Before?

    It's storming over here in the swamp and I can't really open my shop up to work on my car so I'm surfing for time wasters instead.

    Shown below is a car that I never knew existed:

    I have heard of the Lonestar that made Cobra replica's, but never heard of that particular car seen on the video, so it was quite educational to learn of it's existence. Thanks for posting it.

    I don't care for the chrome front bumper(?), but otherwise it's quite a beauty. If it was mine, I would lose that license plate. I see LS, and I immediately think of the Chevy engine, and without ever having known about the car, (till now), I would presume it was some oddball kit car.

    Interesting, you learn something new every day! I also initially thought it was the Lonestar replica company that I inquired about their kits years ago...

    I agree with losing the LS on the license plate.
