PrintWell, it's that time of year again...
Barrett-Jackson is doing their thing in again in Scottsdale.
There have been a lot of great cars again this year. Lots of Mustangs, GTO's, SS's and some very special Corvette's.
But out of all of those, I saw one particular car that caught my eye...
2012 Galpin/SPX Charity Wide Body Mustang
This is a custom concept car built and sold for Charity to St. Jude's in Memphis, TN.
This is a different type of car than I usually like. Like I discussed here and here.
The modern cars are neat but they don't hold the same interest for me like the classic muscle cars do. This one though, is different.
As you can see, I am still very partial to Mustangs. And there is a nice Mustang Boss 302 Custom Fastback that I would love to have as well.
Oh well, we can all dream!

Whew! Thanks goll, Paragon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And here I thought you found out that “someone” saw a student-athlete on campus at USC driving around in a fancy Impala with souped-out shiny rims!!!!
Rich guys driving around in rides like that are sure to keep USC Compliance up all night long. [tongue firmly in cheek]
My last car was an 06 Shelby Cobra. So fun.

No comment from this thread will be deleted. You will have to own them when we get it turned around and beat Southern Cal. You will never ride the bandwagon when we come back. Not on BN. GO BRUINS.

I remember reading the article in Sports Car Graphic in 1963 and couldn't get my head around the sheer madness of a car going Zero to 100mph and back to ZERO in 13.2 seconds!
In 1963, Cobra earned their first-ever race victory against a field made up of Corvettes, Jaguars, Porsches and Maseratis. Jack Sears and Peter Bolton reportedly hit about 186 mph in tests on England’s M1 motorway before the 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans race. The story surrounding this episode, and the many fatalities on the M1, led England to establish national speed limits its highways.
According to Sports Car Graphic magazine in 1965, ‘Ken Miles took one of the street 427 machines out and did zero to 100 to zero in 13.2 seconds.’Many of Europe’s small sports cars had been able to do the same test in under 30 seconds. This was how brutally quick the Cobra was. It had truly bridged the small, lightweight sports cars of Europe with the incredible high-horsepower engines of the United States. This rare combination made the car coveted for competition purposes, but surprisingly, it proved to be unsuccessful for Ford with the general public. Ford and Shelby ceased importing the cars from England in 1967.
