This is another of the really cool spots we stopped off at on our recent roadtrip (the previous thread was the Pomona Swap Meet). We ended the trip for the weekend in Las Vegas, and on the last day we stopped off at Shelby headquarters to check it out. It's actually a surprisingly small display area, but filled with priceless original Shelby creations. The really large area behind the display area and store is the work bay. Very neat place to check out! The other place we stopped off at was Counts Kustoms (from the show Counting Cars if you've watched it). This place was even tinier, but neat, since it's actually his workshop area with a small display of their cars.

Entrance of the store


Car was being raffled off. I didn't enter.


View of the display area at the start


The classics begin. Beautiful roadster, but not a fan of anything gold





I prefer silver


Beautiful front end. I'm not a fan of convertibles or roadsters, but this is a classic design








The Shelby Daytona. Much prefer this design over the roadster


A silver Daytona that I have a better pic of coming up


The legendary GT40s











One of Shelbys original racers. Don't know which model


Another classic fastback





Modern creation


Another view of the display area from the end


The silver GT. My favorite of the bunch


A Shelby Series 1, built from 1998-2005. Only 249 produced.








Neat front end





The rear work area where Shelbys are born. Photographs don't convey how massive it actually is.


Another pic. Weird thing was there were 4 electric Mustang Mach-E's in there. Not sure what was being done to them

Entrance





Classic fastback


Thunderbird





55 Chevy convertible











Testarossa





My favorite. A De Tomaso Pantera


Neat old Chevy Caprice. You can get them for surprisingly cheap, especially police surplus as they were used as cruisers back in the day. Pretty powerful too considering they were 4 door sedans





Stingray





57 Chevy


Cadillac

Amazing Clicks!

Kudos to your patience and effort in capturing the wonderful machines. Thank you for sharing all the brilliant captures with us.

Was a regular viewer of almost every other episode of Count Kustoms in History TV18 those days. Time has become an absolute privilege off-late.

Absolutely wonderful read, thanks a lot for your effort! Great pictures. I too used to watch Count's Kustoms a lot in the past, definitely some very interesting builds and restomods (my personal favourite).

The collection of Shelbys looks drool-worthy!

Ooo! Maybe the Mach - E is being turned by Shelby? Not sure how they are gonna make it cooler, but excited to see the results

Amazing thread and lovely pictures. A part of one’s heart will always be with Carroll Shelby the Texan Chicken Farmer turned Performance Car Designer and Racer. Really enjoyed this thread and this has motivated me to go visit there some day soon.
Many thanks!

Of all the cars pictured the Silver GT, the Silver Roadster and the GT40 in Gulf Livery are my favourites and are just gorgeous!

Thanks! Yeah, I'd definitely recommend a trip out to this place. Really small, but priceless.
