Have you been to San Antonio's Lackland AFB?

Then you were walking through the same paths that Carroll Shelby trod when we was stationed there.

He was there during WW2, starting in November of 1941, Carroll began training at San Antonio Aviation Cadet Center (now Lackland AFB) and then was promoted to instructor. While flying training missions he dropped messages to his fiance at her farm from the plane. That's cool

Some cars have a story to tell, some, only clues without answers. CSX 3239 has a 1975 El Salvador sticker on the window

from what I can find on the internet, this car was restored in 1982, has a Holman Moody 427 side oiler http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?ln=662&aid=23 used to have white stripes http://www.cobracars.be/csx3239.html

GT 350H in the less common blue and gold color palette

 the most common colors are black and gold, but they also were like this blue or red in the last months of production. http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2006/12/shelby-gt-350h.html for more info

 it's not easy to read, it says " This vehicle is equipped with competition brakes, heavier than normal brake pedal pressure may be required"
