shelbymotorsports Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Would someone pick Stoked up off the floor. I guess the pic of Carroll next to a Maserati TC was just too much for him :P Time for another random pic. Check out the size of those front tires.

shelbymotorsports Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Shelby comparing the prototype Viper to one of his original Cobra's at the Whittier facility back in 1989. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Mosley Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Steve, Would that be the same Viper that is on display at the WPC Museum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbymotorsports Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Steve,Would that be the same Viper that is on display at the WPC Museum? Rick That I don't know. One of the ways you can tell the early prototype Vipers is the cut down windshield and the headlights being part of the hood. I suspect there were several prototypes so the one at the WPC museum may or may not be the one from Whittier. Steve PS- Anyone notice the 1989 CSX production line in the background? Four CSX's that appear to be getting finishing touches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four CSX's that appear to be getting finishing touches. The car at WPC is a prototype, it does have the low windshield and I believe the 360 v8. I did notice the CSX's, that picture has a lot of Shelby history in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruces Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Steve nice photos, I toured whittier when the 87 GLHS and again in 88 for CSX production and thier PR man Pete Milles gave me a ton of factory slides and PR kits, When I get time will load these as I have promsied other people, Still have my 87 GLHS sits in my barn next to my 97 SGT and the 67,69 GT 350s.

StokedShelbyOwner Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Well I just dropped in on this thread MotorSports, was this forum even running on the 6th?? I had nothing but trouble with it about then. As I've mentioned before, I really only keep up here with the "View new posts" button, for whatever reason, some of the posts in the Dodge section don't make it to the new posts area :huh: For the first pic, Judging by the grill on that TC, I'd say it's the MetalCrafters Prototype so circa 87? Event, BJ Auction, just a wild guess there. THe Pace car G body has got to be 84 though right. Thats an 84 RamCharger Prospector edtion in the backround thought he Omni looks earlier vintage 81-82. keep the randoms coming Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Autos had the 86 GLHS out for some testing and Chrysler was holding some sort of event. The yellowbird P body Shadow was also there. The Daytona pic was taken at the same time/place. I'm guessing the Daytona and the others were from Chrysler's previous testing facility. It appears the younger guy called shotgun as the old guy is entering the backseat area. :o Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Well Tim got one of the answers I was looking for, the automatic shoulder belt. I suspect the belt does work. Carroll's right hand is on the ignition key so I'm guessing it hasn't been turned to the start/run position for the belt to move back. Ok what about the other unique item in one of the pics. I'll give you a hint, Florida. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
