MASTER EAGLE EYE SMACKFEST CONTINUES
We keep asking ourselves, as we’re sure you do, how long can this last? These
three master eagle eyes are setting such a high bar that it’s not likely any
young peckerwood could pop up and challenge them at this level. And when
will one or two run out of steam so we can crown an ultimate winner? It’s
beginning to remind us of one those 1920s dance marathons.
Young had his nose in some kind of
electronics catalog and spotted this
Cobra surveillance system. Not that
he would need one. Who would
bother putting security cameras in
a junkyard.
You never can tell where this stuff
will turn up. Hutchinson’s friends
were visiting China on a Christmas
vacation and found this 30˝ x 5˝ sign
in a fleamarket in Beijing. They
brought it back for him. We suspect
it’s found a permanent spot in his
house.
If we didn’t know better we’d say that
Dr. Warren has one of these Shelby t-
shirts that he passes around his office,
to patients and staff, to be pho-
tographed in so he can maintain his
master eagle eye status. But we know
better. More likely the t-shirts can be
found on the $2 table at the local Wal-
Mart. Pictured is Clint, one of his
nurses, who showed up to work wear-
ing one the other day. He knows what
side his bread is buttered on.
Young discovered this poster in his
archives.
CARtoons
magazine pro-
duced a poster of one of their covers
depicting the 1968 LeMans race be-
tween a Gulf GT40 Mirage and a
Ferrari 330 P4.
Young spotted the GT350 in this ad
for a garage that specializes in clas-
sics, hot rods and customs.
Doc Warren received this Christmas
card from one of his patients. He
was quick to spot the one Shelby in
all of those Mustangs. It was also
one of the smallest.
Whoever put together this eBay ad for
a custom rollback truck knew it would
attract attention by putting a bright
red Cobra replica on the back. And
Warren’s attention was certainly at-
tracted. The ‘49 Ford cab is mounted
on a ‘92 Chevy 1-ton chassis. It’s pow-
ered by a Cummins diesel. We’re sure
that as soon as Warren saw the picture
he began envisioning owning this rig
with his CSX4000 sitting on the back.
