Muscle cars....after the shows do they all go in hiding?

Thanks for the compliments guys.  But it is really nothing more than a '62 Galaxie with different trim, taillights, and a few other Mercury specific items.  This era of Fullsize Mercury's really started the badge engineering concept.

The 352 does generate over 300 ft-lbs of torque from 2500 rpms and up (it's all done at 5200), so it doesn't have a problem getting the big barge moving, and with the AOD it happily cruises at 75 all day long.

I drive my Shelby normally once a week.  The last time it was out I drove it and actually left it sitting in the parking lot at the American Airlines Flight Academy.
The facility is fenced in and security has my cell and watches out for me.
However, in all honesty, I won't go to the grocery store and park it and go in. The cretins don't care about a 17,000 paint job and it's just not worth the risk to me.
Generally speaking, If I can't see it It doesn't go with me.
