Road trips are always fun, particularly if you are participating with early GT350 Shelbys and Cobras!
It's even better yet if you are going to a cool car event like The Amelia.
Stemming from a rather "quick" idea from Tom Cotter, three Cobras and five vintage GT350s made the trip from Charlotte, NC to Amelia Island for the annual car event and related festivities.
The trip down to Florida included a few cool car collection visits. The Cars and Coffee event on Saturday morning was a hit with all of the vintage Shelby vehicles parked together on the golf course. The excellent weather, great friends, auctions, and other event made for an incredible trip.
Enjoy a few of the pictures.
