And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Got jump in one of these at a racing experience once. Just wow. Adrenaline dump was so powerful I could not drive home, vision was like looking through a drinking straw. Awesome.
Shelby Cobra 427 powered by Ford. Phil Hill the only American born Formula one Champion, once said of this car" It's a big, hairy white knuckled beast of a car!"
Ford dealer had 2 in 65 when I was in highschool. The 427 was only 7,500 or 6,000 hours Labor at 1.25 an hour at the gas station I worked at. Didn't stop me from dreaming! Bubbarust

I got to drive a Factory Five that had a 300hp 5.0L with a 5 speed transmission about 25 years ago. It was a blast but built for a small person.
ReplyDeleteCarol Shelby was the epitome of American ingenuity and know how that built this nation. He may have been a Texan but I can forgive him for that.
