Congrats to Ken of Eagan Minnesota, you’re our “Car pick of the week” winner! We met Ken at a car show this summer with his award winning 65 Shelby Cobra. This car is absolutely stunning and just slightly over powered with the 8.2 Liter 427. We added Ken’s spec list so you can enjoy the finer details. Thanks Ken for sharing this beauty with our viewers.
