Does NE1 know of a "Definitive" site on the Shelby 427 Cobra?

I'm building this model and I need pictures of the exterior, inside, engine bay, chassis details, etc. I'm looking for a site that has it all in one spot instead of "Google Hopping" for pictures.

don't know of a site...but the Cobra is a sweet car. Saw one drag race on a track one time...fish-tailing when it hit 4th gear.

Try Here.

On another note My father and I are looking into our next restoration project car...a 1968 Mustang GT Fastback. A friend of ours owns a Classic Auto Sales company and he just got ahold of a 1968 Shelby GT500 Fastback Body....absolutely Hard looking car. Unfortuneatly it doesnt have the original engine...matter of fact its lack of engine and tranny have us doing to records checking to see if its at all possible to locate it...this car could be worth close to 60k if we could get all its original pieces back together.
