This is where you get to see photos of cars I've taken over the years.
Today’s car of the day is this 2016 Shelby Terlingua that was at the 2018 Barrett-Jackson Auction in Palm Beach. The Shelby Terlingua is a high performance variant of the Mustang. The engine is a 5 liter supercharged Coyote V8 that produces 750 horsepower. The transmission is a 6-speed manual. This car does 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds. I’m not what the top speed is, but I think it’s at least 200 mph.

The engine of this one is a 7 liter V8 that produces 410 horsepower and 462 pound-feet of torque. The transmission is a 4-speed manual. This car does 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds and has a top speed of 140 mph. This car weighs 2,359 pounds since the body is made of aluminum.
Today’s car of the day is this recreation of a Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe that was at the 2018 Barrett-Jackson Auction in Palm Beach. The Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe is a GT race car that was made to take the Ferrari 250 GTO. Only six were produced, and one of them was a prototype. The engine is a 4.7 liter V8 that produces 390 horsepower and 341 pound-feet of torque. The transmission is a 4-speed manual. This car does 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds and has a top speed of 191 mph. This car weighs 2,299 pounds since the body panels are aluminum, and the chassis is a steel tubular frame.

It’s from the sixth generation of the Mustang, which has been in production since July of 2014 (the first model year was 2015). The engine is a 5 liter Coyote V8 that produces 460 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The transmission of this one is a 10-speed automatic. The starting price of the Roush Stage 2 is $45,455.

The transmission is a 6-speed manual. This car can do 0-60 mph in about 4 seconds and tops out at about 180 mph, so it’s not as fast or as powerful as the 2013/2014 Shelby GT500. The starting price of the new Shelby GT350 is $55,940.
Today’s car of the day is this 2019 Mustang Bullitt Prototype that was at the 2018 Barrett-Jackson Auction in Palm Beach. It’s from the sixth generation, which has been in production since July of 2014 (the first model year was 2015).

Tim Kuniskus is the man behind the project, and he presented the car while the song “Fuel” by Metallica was being played.

This car weighs 4,279 pounds since the chassis is unitary steel. This car does 0-60 mph in 2.3 seconds. I’m not sure what the true top speed is because one source says that it’s 207 mph, and another says it’s 168 mph. The starting price of the Demon is $86,090, and 3,300 are being built. 3,000 are being sold in America, and the remaining 300 will be sold in Canada.
