his character is a race car driver and musician. Natch. His driver is a 1929 Duesenburg Model J, it tows his Shelby AC Cobra 427
ove of several love interests for his character is the daughter of a rich guy, a very spoiled rich girl, and her daily driver is this nice Ferrari 250 GT
her dad has a race car business, and the gold car is the one he want's Elvis's character to drive in some big race
1965 McLaren
this blue car, oh nothing special. Just Max Balshowsky's Old Yaller mk IV
there are a half dozen cool cars in the race, not easy to get decent screen grabs of them though
the orange car, it's Bill Thomas's Cheetah 2

the word on the Jockey Journal is that the company of Stelling and Hellings went out of business in the 60's, and sold air filter housings, and motorcycle handlebars http://www.jockeyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10084

The most famous person and longest owner of a Cobra besides Carroll is Herbie Hancock CSX 2006 http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/03/herbie-hancock.html or read the story about Herbie and his Cobra at http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/all-cobra-talk/96650-hank-williams-cobra-289-did-he-order-two-barrel-originally-2.html

CSX 4205, Hasn't been driven. So it's not a car, it's either a work of art, an investment, or something people have to keep dusting til it re-sells

So here you have a car with only 6 miles on it, test miles, as it came from the Shelby company with those miles, and left the 1st owner without any more, so that is how much it has been driven since made. It hasn't. Probably hasn't had fluids in it since being pushed into storage.
I think that this is another error in the writing on the Martin call sheets (they don't spell Brembo brakes correctly for example) where the above says this was built in 1965. It was built as the new run of cars, not in 1965, but closer to the date on the lower sheet of 2002. They cost 140 thou new, and probably aren't going for a lot more now that Carroll has passed on. He didn't build them, he promoted and signed them... for anyone this annoys, tell me how many 80 year old heart transplant mulitmillionaires are wrenching on cars when they employ people to do that.
