GRAYPNY

I was in Las Vegas Sunday through Wednesday on business and Monday morning went to Shelby Automotive and took the tour. Nice fellow conducted the tour and they have some very special cars on display. I was very disappointed that I didn't get to hear the Shelby GT fired up but it looks like a nice ride. I have posted some pictures for your viewing pleasure. BTW no pictures of their supersecret assembly areas.
I also signed the wall~

On the way back from Shelby I spotted a Lamborghini dealership so I took afew pictures of some of their inventory. The Saleen S7 was $608K

WOW! Not 1 comment? I thought for sure someone would have something to say about my white California legs.

Looks like you had a good trip. Sorry you didn't get to hear the GT, but you will get to hear yours soon enough

Cool!!! Personally though, the SHELBY tour looks more entertaining.

Never knew there were 20 white with blue stripped 1966 GT-350Hs. Thanks for the pix.

Nice thanks for the pics. Shelby and Graceland are next on my list to visit, not sure when but sometime.

It was pretty funny when we were on the tour. The first picture of me standing by the Cobra in front of the building belonged to a guy who had driven it there to go on the tour. He mentioned his Cobra that was parked outside a couple of times and I could see by the expression of the gentleman's face that was conducting the tour and worked for Shelby that the guy was starting to irrate him. The next time that the guy started to mention his Cobra the tour guide said, "we don't build kit cars here!" I don't recall him mentioning his Cobra again.

They sell the Cobra rolling chassis for $60K. You can buy the engine from Shelby that is made in California but they won't put it together for you.

Yeah I knew about the blue/red/white/green w/gold stripes. I just didn't realize that there were GT-350H's that had any other color stripe other than gold (i.e. White with blue stripes).

Don;t they do the engine work somewhere else there in the complex? I thought that was they told us when we were there a few years ago. Did you get to sign the wall back near the work area? That is neat to do.

Also, what is the grey Stang in the first set of pics? Don't recogonize it.

The gray car is the Shelby CS6 with a 350 HP V6 and a vortec supercharger. I guess Ford decided that they didn't want Shelby to sell the car but all they parts are available from shopshelby.com Yes I signed the wall~

This Shelby paid commercial is now concluded.

Thanks for the pix! I plan to get there around the 3rd of Nov. Can't wait! That is my graceland!

...hope I don't get sued by Presley enterprises for that!

Graypny, what's your opinion of the CS6?
I was very interested in it until Shelby Auto's farmed out the assembly
to "select" builders. (Also a heard rumor that Ford made them do it.)
I may of had this wrong to begin with, maybe they weren't going to build it there from the start.

With adding a teenage driver (oldest son is 14) to our family in a few years, a specialty V6
model looked like a interesting way to keep the insurance rates in-line a bit.
Now I'm thinking it's more of just another kit-car set, and not really a "Shelby."

Nice pictures.

GRAYPNY

To be honest I didn't look at it that closely. I personally don't like the grille and since it wasn't something that they were actually offering to the public I didn't give it more than just a glance. 350 HP from a v6 is kind of exciting though.

Thanks for the answer.
I think my interest level is now matching your's on the CS6.

An interesting product idea, that's seems to be fading away.
I wonder if they have sold any of the "kits?"

I was in Vegas from 9/21 - 9/24 and the Legend Lime Mustang club also took the tour, I thought the place would be bigger but it still was interesting.
