The Winter 2022 Shelby American issue is out on the Members Only site. There is over 120 pages!! Some great information here! I'm surprised everyone isn't talking about it already. It was announced a couple of days ago.

So far, my favorite article is the interview of Rick Kopec by Peter Brock and Marty Beaulieu. Rick mostly does the interviewing.... in all the other issues, so this is pretty cool.
Also a great spread on SAAC 46. Another great asset to our hobby! Check it out!
I enjoyed reading Rick's interview too :)
Rick Koepc -- Renaissance man Great article
Anybody have more photos or owner info on the GT1/TA car page 42 lower left corner? I want to back date mine to that rear spoiler and get rid of my wing.

He doesn't want you to know. ;)
Just finished reading the article on Rick. Great piece! Rick helped me with some of my early magazine work, more offering advice on how to write and put ideas together. I still use it to this day. Over the years we had many conversations about the club, the cars, he was spot on back then about where we are now. He is truly one with great cognizance on the club and his place. And he more than once had the need to pull me back in place when needed.
One part of the interview I liked the best was his accurate description of Ol' Shel'. Spot on. I've been around the club (SAAC), Replica Cobras, Modern Team Shelby, and other affairs to see how Shelby really acted. Hence, I never hero worshipped him, kept a distance, and only have one or two handshakes and one picture of the both of us. No glove box signatures! (I am a rare one). One aspect that I see of so many modern Shelby owners, and partially with Team Shelby, is how Carroll is hero worshipped. When I speak my opinion (and not usually what is wanted to be heard), I am usually scorned. But I take that scorn, I have the age and mileage to know true history and been there for it.
I have always admired Rick's and the registry's value for the history of the cars, and that is the one big plus of SAAC.
Great read.

Rick,
Thank you for your service, not only to the SAAC organization, but to this country as well.

Easy - He's Howard Pardee's PR man.
