As an aside, Colorado has two of the most incredible (little known) car collections for public viewing. There is a Shelby Museum in Gunbarrel that is open only 1-2 days per week, and contain some of the most rare, track credentialed Shelby classics in existence. It is hidden out of the way, and you wouldn't know about it unless you went looking for it.

In Gateway Canyon, the owner of the History Channel has one of the most astonishing historical car collections I have ever seen. you can pay $10, and walk around for hours (and likely not see another human)

I’ve never been there, but just blocks from my house in Arvada there is a car collection that was owned by Clive Cussler.

Yes. I've watched a few videos of people finding the originals of that car, and how insanely tiny it was. (I guess that's what a Le Mans race car was in the day.) But the color scheme was not red and white like the one in the photo with the recruits. It was a pale blue with some red highlights. So, I don't get the problem with a Buff colored one, I guess. But... again... I'm far more interested in bikes than cars. lol

It was orange stripes, no?

As for original colors on classics that go with the team, throw this out there.

I thought it was orange stripes, too. I looked back for some images and saw red, at least on some of the photos of the original cars.

Interestingly, I wonder what color it looked like back on old CRT-based TVs and broadcasts. One of the most disturbing things I discovered when I starting in video editing and effects in the early 90s was that the colors you display were rarely accurate to the colors you shot—hence those omnipresent color bar images.

Nice! I think this is the Shelby made for Hertz Rental Car, thus the black and gold colors. I also notice an "H" after the 350. Best looking Shelby, IMO.

Sorry one more thing. I couldnt afford to rent the awesome rigs but if you do the highway up the river canyon would be a fantastic place to test out the performance. Literally one of the best drives in Colorado.
