I believe that was the pair I saw at a SAAC show in Deaborn in the 80s?

This photo was on the old forum, the '68 in the front, Cobra, Boss 9, and others in the back ground, not sure if they were all his ?

That was like the coolest thing I saw walking in the parking lot. A Shelby pulling a Shelby.

Yes that would have been Wayne, he never missed a convention.

Yes all cars in pic were his. Car on the left is the one on the trailer, CSX3201 in the middle, KK1660 on the right (which I now own). I think it's the blue KR & 66 Hertz in the background

He towed the Cobra to SAAC convention in LA with same KR. Late 70's early 80's?

The ultimate enthusiast he was!!!

I own Wayne's old '65. It came out of that building.

I remember years ago seeing in a magazine a 67-8 Shelby (Don't recall the year), pulling a racecar to the local circle track.  I'm going to see if I can find it on the web.
