It was 1963 and Shelby had purchased a couple of Cooper T61s to enter in the United States Road Racing Championship, USRRC. In the former Reventlow Scarab shop on Princeton Ave in Venice CA the Shelby crew installed Cobraized Ford 289 engines complete with stove pipe exhausts and Webers.

Here at the back of the shop it is starting to get dark and the team needed to get loaded up and off to the races.   Looking back it seems odd to see the shop truck pulling a single axle trailer.

 

 

And now the rest of the old school modeling story.  No digital drawings or 3D printing, no high end Japanese kits, just a few bucks.

I love the king cobras. Your other cobras and the ford pick up are great! This was a cool era for cars. Great job!!!!
