Glad to join, was at the Hickory event last year and had a great time

Where in the Carolina's are you located?

Is anyone going to SAAC 47 from the CAROLINAS? I'm planning to go even though they had it at Indy recently. Tired of Covid need to get out. John

Still up in the air as I await a slot for my 70 GT350 ragtop to be worked on.

Bill

My brother and both own 1968 GT 350's since the late 1970's.  They haven't seen the light of day since the mid 1980's.   Some day I will get mine back on the road.  My brother on the other hand won't.  It will be a future barn find.    Both our cars are not in the registry.

Contrary to popular believe, while your name may not be publically in the registry, it may be known to the registrar. In addition, your car, while not listed under your name within the registry, it is still listed there.

Just saying

Chris is a KR owner so i guess that's why he posted here ! i heard is not going to other forum  like 65 GT 350 'cause "no chance" for newbie  there    
just kidding ....

Yep !  You seen what happened to 6S1523, in the "1966" section.
They all but tore him a new a__hole. And most on here wonder why this forum is going to hell??
For God's sake it's an open forum let people do, say, work and play on their Automobiles the way they want to!!!  Geez!!

Some on here are very knowledgeable about first Gen Shelby, I'll admit that. But who's to say or tell ANYONE what to do (or don't do) with THEIR car. The knowledgeable will come back and say, " Well, when they(in Barney Fife voice), go to sell their 65-70 Shelby, everyone involved with the sale needs to know the changes", and I completely agree, but who the Hell has the right to tell ANYONE what they can do to there car??? That's what this is about. And if they don't follow the diehard Shelby group, that group blast them, and keep rolling with the negative comments.

The supposed buyer, if/when the seller of a Shelby decides to sell, the BUYER should've already done his homework, have a knowledgeable Shelby enthusiast in place to look at the car. If I were to go spend a stupid amount of money on a first Gen Shelby,  I'd be foolish not to have someone in place to go over it and see about changes (permanent and/or temporary), before ANYTHING is signed and money moved.

So, to you knowledgeable, if someone goes and buys a Shelby without doing their homework, so be it. And if/when it's ever passed on again, the buyer should do the same thing. 

Yes, I'm sure a Shelby can be and will be passed on to another buyer with troubles lurking about the Shelby. But, this all goes back to Inspection, knowledge, going over the car with a fine tooth comb.

But, there's nothing in the World anybody can do about it when it is done. But, the people on this forum know better and in most cases will make sure nothing like this happens in this community. That's all we can do.

Just My Opinion, and yes we all are free to give "Opinions".

Perhaps you did not realize how many "additional" (IE: duplicate) threads had been started on the exact same subject and merged or removed from the forum before you attempted to chastise me for advising the OP of the active thread on the subject in which he stumbled across on the web. There is more that goes on behind the scenes here than what you see. But yes, you decided to make your feelings known to all who will read this thread by personally attacking my personal opinion originally posted. Thus negating my right to an opinion for your own. Bravo my friend, bravo.

I love the shovel and deer carcass ideas.
lol

Old idea, remembered I saw it at SAAC 7 or SAAC 10 at Great Gorge in NJ. I do have a Polaroid picture of it, but have be unable to find it yet.

Want as nice and as near Concours rotisserie  as we can afford, no color preference but must be color the car is born with, Numbers matching, prefer original metal, the more original parts the better, prefer automatic but 4 speed will work. We are somewhat flexible but the closer to preferences the better. We would love to discuss anything. You never know what might work but we just are not going to do our own rotisserie anymore.   Anyone know of anything?

For future reference, the only place to post a "want to buy" item is in the appropriate classified subforum.

Use an unmarked enclosed trailer and put shovels, rakes and other yard tools in racks on the outside.

It will look like a landscapers trailer as long as you aren't pulling it with a Lincoln Navigator.

I think Kooec did something along those lines instead having bio hazard refuse signage on the trailer.

I think his advertised his "New England Pit Bull Rehab Center" and advised people to stay 20' away.

There was another advertising deer carcass removal at a northeast SAAC event. Can't remember what was inside, but it most assuredly was not a deer carcass.


Bill

No need to start another thread, it's all here

FOUND, striped....sort of.

https://www.fordmuscle.com/news/stolen-1967-shelby-mustang-recovered-in-oklahoma/

I question who would steal the car for the fiberglass and custom doors and leave the drivetrain intact   

Serious inquiries to the seller via PM only.   

Good news that it was recovered before being completely stripped. A special place in hell for anyone who would do this to such a gorgeous car!

Chris.

Chris,

   A quick search here will show you that this car has been covered already:
https://www.saacforum.com/index.php?topic=17679.0

No need for another thread on this replica, is there?

But it's original rust, not the restored stuff?

I still have a small bag of "original rust" from 2623. Wonder how much I can get for it 


Bill

Saw that, looks like a decent driver, but pics appear to show rot through on the inner rockers ?  Or maybe just a bad camera angle ?

Screen shots attached for others to review and discuss further.

No idea if this is really a Shelby or not. Sucks either way.

Not a real Shelby as previously noted...

Found already-Missing front end fiberglass and doors (that had 71-73 Mustang door handles custom installed).


The question I have, who steals the fiberglass, and the custom doors, but leaves the drivetrain intact and untouched other than the missing air cleaner?


Bill

PS: Then again, did anyone norice the stress crack and rusted area by the drivers upper door latch on the "A" pillar
