yes it is Tim. and they have the motor out right now, Gonna be putting it back in today, the guys who put the car together the first time didn't do it to the high standards of my freind. I wont be back for another week and then he is gonna be in Cali. So it will be at least a month till I can check it out. But if they get it back together and running, Ill see if I can get him to email me a vid of it running. Ill get some pics of the beautiful AC Cobra 427 they have as well when I get over there again. And I may as well get some of the 69 GT500 and 69 GT350, the Model A would be cool to see I guess too huh 
They got quite a classic collection, all total jaw droppers

I though trumpets were velocity stacks but it could mean the exhaust?

One of my best friends has a Supeformance 427 Cobra with an full race-spec 427 side oiler stroker that puts out 700hp/700tq. The thing is a beast. I can say from spending quite a bit of time driving that beast that Superformance makes an extremely high quality product. The fit and finish is excellent, the quality of the materials is superb, and they are extremely well engineered. A real blast to drive. There is nothing else like it. It is such a raw and visceral experience. No power assists, no traction control, very direct mechanical linkages and levels of power that are difficult to comprehend and must be used judiciously.
There are those who knock Superformance products, calling them "Kit cars" One session behind the wheel in any Superformance model and the term "kit car" will never cross your mind.
That is a beautiful GT40 and that Roush 427 small block is a real work of art. I believe they put out 550hp which in a 2,500 lb car will make for some extremely dramatic performance.
