Looks like Flat Bridge with Fern Gully in the pic below it. I need posters of these for my den. Parents would get a kick out of them.

Sure is. Are you Jamaican?

Superperformace GT40 replicas. Fully licensed and blessed by St. Shelby himself, if you worship that way.

Honestly, I kinda dig that. Not that I'd get the tattoo, but yeah, I'd do it to my marque badge if I owned one.

Makes me think of "Saturday morning Watchmen."

Shelby's opinion doesn't matter to me at all, but I do love me a GT40. Those Superformance ones are gorgeous.

The post-Shelby victories in 1968/69 are the most impressive ones, done by a small (two-car, IIRC) team with an overweight, outdated car running a smaller engine than used in the 1966 and 1967 Ford blitzkriegs.

Shelby's blessing degrades it. Shelby would still be an icon if he hadn't turned into a greedy old man suing people for the right to data they collected etc. and flogging his naming rights for millions. If he'd died at 60 he'd still be a hero, as it is, if I ever own an S197 GT500, the first thing I will do is remove any and all references to him on the car.

Obligatory pic

Links in the thread you posted are dead. Any info? Looking at the camber on the rear wheels, rear overhang and access panel, I'm guessing VW bug floorpan and running gear?
