  1. 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?

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

    Had never heard that about the chili.

  3. Never liked the Cobra, too hard and uncomfortable.

    A Shelby re-designed Mustang, now...

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