Just when this 289 Cobra lover thought he could not stand to see another Guardsman Blue 427, genuine or not, this car stands out amount all others. <br><br>Amazing car, equal restoration and a story to match both. <br>Love this one more than all the rest! <br><br>Thank you guys for taking the time to produce this excellent summary of this restoration. Much appreciated automobile and presentation!

Unreal watching you slowly drive through the pits at SAAC 50. What a visual and sonic treat. So wonderful to hear the back story on this fabulous car. Thanks for showing the world what Shelby American was doing in 1966.

It's one of my favorite top knowledgeable car guys out there. I've been watching Peter since 2002, one of the most humble, super knowledgeable car guys out there he talks with appreciation, not with ego that's what I've always enjoyed about watching and listening to him. Congratulations to yourself, the crew at Legendary Motorcars. You guys have always produced top-notch workmanship so its well deserved.

I could listen to Peter talk about cars all day. That man is a walking, talking 10TB hard drive of car knowledge who’s passion is infectious.
