My step-kids dad just sent these photos and said he bought/was given this car. He said it be worth some $ one day and is going in the Carol Shelby Museum. He is the CFO of Shelby Automotive in Las Vegas.

How do I compete with this? HA HA

Comments?

The Terlingua Racing Team story is the stuff of legend. Its roots began when Ford Motor Company asked Carroll Shelby to turn its Mustang into a race winner. His team succeeded with a competition version of the Shelby GT350. About that time, Shelby and a few friends were enjoying “the Rat Pack” lifestyle in the Texas ghost town of Terlingua. Their parties and competitive attitude are legendary as they had everyone from Pancho Villa to Steve McQueen to join the group. To symbolize their philosophy, legendary Terlingua Team member # 2 Bill Neale designed “Lucifer”, the black and yellow a logo with a rabbit holding his paw in the air.Ken Miles was the first to put the 'prancing rabbit' in the winner's circle with a victory at Green Valley Raceway in 1965. When the logo became a “Gawdawful Yellow” livery for the 1967 Shelby Trans Am car, the philosophy really caught fire. When Shelby ceased production in 1970, drivers put the heraldry on other vehicles.

The paint scheme was to honor the first one.

Yeah, i believe you are correct. I think they would look good on a Charger, unfortunately the biggest they make them is 20x9. I would definitely want at least 10" wide in for the rear.

I don't like them on my car even though they're 17's...don't think they'd look good enough to buy in 20's or 22's either. Just my opinion, but the stock wheels look better.
