He lived a long and very productive life, good for him.

That picture always brings tears to my eyes. I think that's the big thumper, too, and not the 289.

Did you know that he marketed his own brand of chili at one time?

You're right, YoJ; that's the 1966 427 Super Snake.

Had never heard that about the chili.

Never liked the Cobra, too hard and uncomfortable.

A Shelby re-designed Mustang, now...

Mojo: You mean...you've actually sat in one?

mojo said...

Yeah, Bill Harrah had one in his collection in Reno, along with 6 Deusenbergs, 14 Ferraris, etc. etc...
