^^^^^^^
I see it got very good reviews.

If McQeen had lived, he and fellow SV resident Clint Eastwood would both be 87.

Likely you remember this article Greg. And since CE talks about 'Pale Rider', it doesn't count as hijacking my own thread....lol

He was a car guy - McQueen..... so it's still a car thread! LOL

Eastwood is here all the time --- and hangs out at the Warm Springs ski lodge - where he is free just to be himself. Not a soul bothers him. He can hang with his friends and just go out and ski. Ditto the myriad of other 'famous' folks that have homes around here. They can just come and be people, not famous people. They can work out at the gym - ski - have a nice lunch in a restaurant.... nobody asks for an autograph or pulls out a camera. It's kind cool like that here. Not sure why it's like that - but it is.

I think that's why the Allen & Company conference has been here for so many years -- all of those folks can come and feel safe -- and not be bothered one iota.

26 REAL Cobras come here to cruise town - and drive around - cruise the mountain hiways.... and they don't have to worry about them. I've never removed the keys from my cars or locked them - since I moved here. Pretty nice to live that way. They've come here for several years now it seems.

So now you need to buy a real Cobra...... and come cruise with them!!! LOL -- See how I brought that back to a Cobra discussion?

If you're looking for the real deal, Skip...I got a guy. It's real but doesn't have any kind of important history...other than it's a real Cobra

He mentioned it was for sale...you know it's a great investment.😎

Love the car next to it --- BP -- "B" Production. That's what Old Yeller is supposed to be a clone of -- and Charley owned, and tracked, a real B/P 1966 GT 350 that I think was a class champion.

Lined up here -- Big Mike and his NASCAR - CHARLIES '66 - ME - and then Chet (used to be Pantera Bob's car)

Making sure the 'yutes get a proper education.

The guy in the background almost looks like a security type...interesting.

Sun Valley sounds like a very special place.

The old saying "You are known by the company you keep." seems to fit SV.

26 real deal Cobras there...hope someone took some high quality vids.

I hadn't thought about owning a real one until you and Bash brought it up.

Thanks Bash for posting that.

#yesplease

I like the investment part to go along with the fun factor.

Cool pic Greg.

That BP car happens to be the first Shelby built for competition, I believe it's serial number 002. The owner actually has serial number 001 as well which was the first "street" version....and the last Shelby built in 69...and 2 of 4 Shelby convertibles. It's a great place to go work for the day.

Very impressive Bash...

Funny the stuff you come across when you're not even looking to further suck up more bandwidth here...

That appears to be bigger than the legendary 'locked but loaded' BMF Camaro thread...
