2010 Shelby Convention
OK, so a couple of years old, but I really wanted to post up these pics anyway, just because this was such an awesome collection of Shelby and Shelby-related cars. Pauly Baldacchino (Roaring Season member Zombie298) took these pics, and I found them while rifling through some other more recent pics Pauly had also taken.
So enjoy these, because this is an amazing line up of special cars.
Kicking off here, we've got a pair of Cobra Dragonsnakes. Carroll Shelbys crew built five of these cars specifically for drag racing. Two of them they raced themselves, the other three were sold to customers. Shown here are CSX2357 (the blue one) and CSX2248. I believe 2357 was one of the two cars raced by the Shelby team.

This Galaxie doesn't look like it has any race history, I'm guessing its a Nascar tribute car. Awesome car though!

Of course, some Kiwi bloke managed to sneak his Boss Mustang in through a back gate without anyone noticing, and lowered the tone of the whole event! I think he races with CMC judging by those big wheels?

The famous Parnelli Jones driven Bud Moore Mustang that raced the '69 Trans-Am. Despite a two-pronged effort with between four and six cars from Bud Moore and Carroll Shelby at any one event, Ford was beaten to the '69 Trans-Am Championship by Mark Donohue in the Penske Camaro. Note the Firestone Indy tyres, these are available new and look awesome, although they're pretty pricey.

This Trans Am Mustang went to auction not long after this event, thing the reserve was a Mill? might have been 800K? was expensive anyway but very well restored and a very rare historic car.

Yeah I think 800K might have been about right Dale, not sure if it sold or not through.

And last but not least, what were surely two of the star attractions of the event, Daytona Cobra Coupe, and Ford GT MkIV. I'm guessing the Cobra Daytona is chassis # CSX 2299, which won its class at Le Mans in 1964 and finished 4th overall driven by Dan Gurney/Bob Bondurant.

The Ford GT MkIV J4 which took victory at Sebring in 1967, driven by Bruce McLaren/Mario Andretti.
