Funny - It's "almost stock"... except a small fan on top of the motor...

 

Who says you can't get 15,000 miles out of a drag radial, even with roasting them every now and then? 😂😂😂
And yes, that's a tire plug on the left, it's been in there for most of the tire's life.

 

LOL
Wow, that's crazy. What DR were you running Gabe?

 

Nitto 555R 305/40/18 on GT500 18x9.5 wheels.

Car's now got mismatched wheels on it, since all these tires have tread, lol

 

LOL
Better than no tread and no traction.
ESPECIALLY with weather temps going down. lol

 

I didn't take these, hard to do and drive it at the same time

 

Not going to make her any faster, but cleaned up the look of the engine bay and added a little bling under the hood over the summer.

Not as good as these should be, but it has been a while so thought I would post these from early October 2019...






And as an added bonus...



A couple of friends of mine in a "Real" 1964 Shelby Cobra with 427 Roush built motor. The one in the drivers seat owns and had this car built by Superformance out of South Africa. Car is built to spec and licensed as a 1964 Shelby Cobra. Not much luxury in these guys... Built to race. He has owned it since about 2013. Got to ride in it this summer. Tough to get in and out of and had to be very careful not to burn my legs on the side pipes getting out. But real beautify and Scary fast car! You can tell it is very light and has plenty of raw power. Car has less than 800 miles on it. This one wins awards at every car show he puts it in.

 

So I marked what was changed. Need to do something about the battery and washer fluid cap. Have an idea on the washer cap since the Roush cover was too big for the area. But not sure I like what is out there for the battery. Also considering swapping out the radiator overflow tank for a Moroso racing tank.

 

Beautiful car brother!!!
Beautiful.

 

Thanks Bro! Appreciate it!

 

 

Thanks MustangFreak! Mine was built to get as close to a Boss as I could with a '14, but keep the creature comforts. You know us S197 guys need to stick together. Love your Boss too, Miss Scarlett is very sharp, a real eye catcher!

 

Thanks I'm a '69 & '70 body style fan and our S197's are as close as we could get to that look IMHO.

 

1967-1970 are my favorites! Had a '67 fastback S car years ago. Would love to have it today.

 

It has been a while...

 

Looking good. Like the Bullitt style wheels on your car. Looks Sharp!

 

Your cars look sick guys. Drooling over my schnitzel here

 

One of the first shots of the new season

 

Looking Good Gabe, and your wheels are Matching again.

 

Wow - I love the 302S wheels on your car! Matches the exterior color and gives your car a clean look.

I decided against them and for the Shelby wheels, pic from earlier this morning:
