Talking Telstar Mustang Shelby Cobra Museum in the US with Pic's

Whilst on my last trip to the US, we stumbled across the Museum in Mitchell, South Dakota.

Here are some pice, they say they have a Shelby of every year, an amasing sight to see. Note that their is a mirror at the back of the room, so in some of the pic's, it looks twice as large as it is.

Its a private collection, enjoy

What the hell is that red thing with the huge wing? Looks like a GT-40 but not?

Looks like a Detomaso Pantera, although they had Clevos and this has a cross ram chev motor in it.

Thats excellent. I wonder if they are all original un-restored?

Eitherway, 16 or so mustangs is a good collection.
