I have seen this picture before. I think because of the American cars parked around it and the brick building it was taken at the small factory that Shelby occupied before going to the rented hanger at LAX airport. One interesting thing is the presence of a glovebox door when in the past the experts said all the Comp cars had no glovebox.but has anyone ever seen that decal on the side behind the air vent? I think it is a Holman & Moody decal because they probably ordered the engine from Holman & Moody which had a lot of them sitting around for NASCAR cars and someone felt obligated to put on their decal. But I just can't see it that close to figure out what it is. Also do you think it's the same car as shown being readied for a run at Silverstone in this painting? If it is, it would have had to have the 289 nose as I understand that because they tested it in the winter in England they didn't know the 289 grille mouth was too small to let in enough air to cool the mighty 427 until they got it back to California
