    The press release I received this mornig does not reveal if it is a two seater or four seater but I think it's a modified Shelby Mustang ( I was hoping they are reviving the two seater concepts). Hopefully it will be on display the whole weekend. This is the press release as I got it......

    Update on what to see at Laguna Seca Monterey event

    Ford will not have a rig, but rather two pavilions. One in the paddock (focus on the original Cobra and story of how it all began) and another in the Expo Marketplace (covering Shelby & other Cobras, Mustang, and Ford Racing).
