I dropped by the Factory Five Racing booth at SEMA Show in Las Vegas. On display, I found this stunning bronze and black GTM. The car was amazing, even when you get up real close.
The car drew a huge crowd, so much so, I had to wait numerous times just to get a shot.

Carroll Shelby made a number of appearances at the SEMA 2007 Show in Las Vegas much to the delight of the huge crowds that early waited in line for his signature.
He was most gracious and signed everything for hundreds of fans ranging from various Cobra and GT 350 and GT 500 collectibles to all kinds or posters, magazines, vintage racing memorabilia and almost anything you can imagine.

As I wandered through the displays at the 2007 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, I was pleasantly surprised to come across the 1967 Ford Mustang "Flashback" by Classic Design Concepts who has created a replica of the '67 classic.
This all-new completely engineered vehicle is not just an exercise. It will be available through CDC, beginning in 08. The vehicle will be equipped with base components, and you can add a number of features to make the car your own.

I discovered this Superformance GT40 replica at SEMA at the Roush Performance booth. It is dressed in the baby blue and orange Gulf Oil racing pattern and colors and it is famous for slaughtering Ferrari at the Le Mans 24 hour races in both 1968 and 1969.
This replica is powered by a Roush 8 stack fuel injected engine and sports the GT40 "bundle of snakes" headers and Gulf BRM style wheels.

I can see why there is so much excitement about the new, yes I said "new" 1967 Mustang Fastback by Classic Design Concepts using a replica body from Dynacorn Classic Bodies Inc.
This is NOT a 1967 car, but rather a brand new Mustang Fastback built from the ground up using the replica body shell from Dynacorn. In every way, this is a brand new car.

As I was heading for the Shelby American booth at SEMA 2007, hoping for an autograph from Carroll Shelby, I stumbled upon this 1960 Corvette Roadster replica by HiTek Hot Rods of Dayton, Ohio.
The car features a 383 Stroker engine, Tremec T-56 6-speed transmission by Keisler Engineering, custom 2x4 box tube frame, with 9" Ford housing, C4 Corvette front suspension, and triangulated 4-link with adjustable coil overs.

A fully integrated convertible top that stows under a hard tonneau in this 1933 Ford Roadster replica from the American Speed Company.
The body is designed for fenderless and full fendered treatment and features heavy 18-guage steel for best surface quality, curved windshield and power side glass and heavy gauge substructure for maximum rigidity.
