Yes pictures are great!!! How about cars for sale? Maybe with contact info?
Okay my new favorite. Im not normally a name dropper, but Peter and Ryan from Legendary Motor cars brought CSX 2196. This car is awesomely cool. Some guy named Miles drove it back in the day and the research I saw was the best I have ever seen. Absolutely incredible.

Miles called it the Turd - When Royal Kreiger owned it Pelican was it's moniker for some unknown reason.
I've got some pics from SAAC 1 when it was silver and unrestored.

I pulled that car out of a barn in Lake Cumberland Kentucky in the 2000's. It had been in the barn since the early 1970's. I sold it to a Mopar guy, now one of the guys in our local SAAC club owns it. It only had 15,000 original miles on it when I pulled it out of the barn, and it is loaded with options. It also had lots of NOS parts in the back seat, and in the trunk.

Thank you for everyone who have shared all the pictures so far.
Hopefully there will be some links to photo albums coming soon!
I know we need to give people a chance to get home and settled back in, before that will likely happen.
Wish I could have gone there, but I'm forced to see the convention though any photos we see.
I'm still looking for the '67's that made in into the concour classes, also the popular vote.
We could see there was a red '67 with outboards, in the background of one photo.
I hope everyone who went had a great time!!!

Pete and Rick, thanks for starting this thread and adding to it, wish I could have made it but circumstances prevented me from doing so, hope to be there in 2023.
Thanks again,
Dave
The two Jeff James restored '67's - both Gold!
Jeff said he was now retired - nice way to finish.
The red car for those who remember - was the car Ruben found in California and brought back to life and sold as a running car, there is a thread on the cars' find and his progress with it.

Did this '67 sell or does anyone know the asking price? I believe Jason Billips finished/corrected or did the final detailing on it before the convention.
Not that car . You should be able to contact Shelby Parts and Restoration for information on the blue car in the picture.

Excellent Mr Speegle and JD!
I would love to hear more about the engineering car. Has the story been published?
I believe the notes say the car was used for "302 emissions testing"
I discussed this with a few guys and the consensus was it's unlikely Ford would have needed to test a standard 302, so possible they were testing another version of the 302 in this car. Maybe something like a 302 tunnel port? Like many of the engineering cars the known history is just an outline.
The car was shown with a K-code motor.
The car was judged as it left Shelby American - as a standard '67 completed car prior to any emissions testing.

My take on it all:
As Coralsnake said, it was a great year for all the different 65 GT 350's. Various conditions - Concours to rusty.
In the area under the grandstands where the Concours and display cars were, was what I'd call the 12 Million dollar show. Ken Miles prototype cobra roadster, a 63 289 Cobra, 65 GT 350 #0003, A 65 GT 350 R model, 2 big block Cobras (a 427, AND a 428), an original family owned 65 GT 350 another 65 GT 350, a 66 GT 350, a Boss 429, and my 67 GT 350 #0036. All in an area about 100 X100. And I might be a little low on the $12,000,000.
On the parade laps, there was a wide variety of vehicles. Included was a Shelby Dakota. Me, I took my 2011 F-150 around for the 3 given laps. I don't know who was driving the pace car but I think they left the gas pedal out in the parking lot, hardly grazed 45 MPH.
The popular vote show was pretty good, Cobras, Ford GT's, plenty of Shelbys there.
The yellow shirt Indy guards(?) were mostly smiling even though it was tough to get to alike answers such as where to park the trailer (not according to the map at all). But highly kind. And all the SVRA people were glad we were there with them.
And it seems there were quite a few long term owners there. I bumped into an original purchaser of a 67 GT 500 (Ed), and a 289 Cobra owner who bought his in 1974. Plus a few others. Well these cars are keepers aren't they?
Great first SAAC National Convention in the books. Was able to see some truly amazing cars and meet some amazing people.

Not a picture, but here is a video posted on google of a walk through the concours area under the bleachers.
I wish there were more photos of all these beautiful Shelby cars.

Beautiful Cobra ! Bought in in 1974, very nice owners that loved talking about it.
I wasn't able to attend SAAC-47 in person, but have combed through other people's webphotos to identify all the original Cobras that were at the event. Did I miss any?

Thank you for sharing the list of the Cobra CSX numbers and for noting the photos were from BILL COOK!
Bill takes some great photos and should get our sincere thanks for sharing them!
By chance, did anyone take several pictures of the W. white 1966 GT350 under the bleachers during concours judging? specifically looking for several engine bay shots. Unfortunately, I was there but participating in the track experience didn't have time to go over. Thank you for pics in advance. TY, Fred

Thank you Sun dude.
Thank you for the pictures of the 66 GT350. At the time of my post I didn't realize it was a carryover car. Still, thank you Jeff for posting.
If so, what are they going for? Those were the ones made w/o Shelby's permission and sold by Ford dealers in the US. I just want to tell an owner who may not know of this site.
By the way the pictures are of great clarity.

Considering 5R002 is also in that photo, my guess is over $10M!

What's the Shelby number on your dads '65...parked next to 5003 in the concours event?. Very sharp!
Which R model is that? Without any livery it's hard to tell. (5r096)

I had that CSX number noted as 3223, but didn't trust it for some reason.
The other black 427 Cobra is noted as CSX 3128. I like it too, but those sunbursts look primo!
Thanks again.
Thanks for all of the pictures. Just had time to look through all the pages. Sorry I missed the convention, looks like there were a lot of great cars.
I'm still hoping someone will share the LMC concours enterred 'R' model number...
We knows it one of the earlier completed car from the first or second batch with the '65 grille and circular brake valance ducts.
Thanks for any help.

The Comstock car was at SAAC 40. It certainly looks different in the factory finish!
I've never seen vintage photos of it without the Comstock sponsor livery.
Neat car to put back to original.

Can anyone ID this Brittany Blue GT500?
It appears to be an early car with the slaned grille, but not very early since it has small letter Goodyear tires.
I'm also looking for the ID on this Nightmist Blue GT500.
I couldn't find any rear view or interior photos of it. That might help with the rear license plate number.
The Nightmist recently sold on BAT.

The Nightmist recently sold on BAT.
Thank you Rick!
The Nightmist Blue GT500 with small letter Goodyear tires was #01043 auctioned on BAT.
It matches in details.
I see there were six different Nightmist Blue cars at SAAC 47. (I found ID's for two others #02577 and #00492.
I'm still trying to find the IDs of the other three Nightmist cars and the Brittiany Blue car above.
