Stuart,
A few ideas for you.
1) The Shelby American Collection is in Boulder Colorado. This is the offical Shelby Collection. The number of cars varies from time to time, but you can be certain to see a few orginal Cobras, Daytona Coupes, GT 40's, GT 350's and GT 500's. You might want to contact them and set something up. Here is their address and phone information.
5020 Chaparral Court
P.O. Box 19228
Boulder, Colorado 80308-2228
Tel: 303.516.9565 · Fax: 303.447.1380

2) The COLORADO REGIONAL Chapter of the SHELBY AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE CLUB (SAAC) is the local club for all Shelby Cars. You can get some more information by contacting Joe Bolis, President, (303) 761-3299 or visiting their web site at
www.protsys.com/SAACColorado I am sure that Joe can arrange for a few cars.
3) If neither of the above can supply some orginal cars for you, contact me at 303-699-4819 and I am sure we can get some replica Cobras to show up. Our web site is
