242,000 miles later I'm still enjoying it

Hi Steve, Congratulations on being a LONG-Term caretaker. Nice to see your post and photos. Great history with 6S1431. I was just reading about you and your car the other day in the SAAC 2021 Annual winter addition regarding MCACN. Denny
So awesome Steve! Keep enjoying her.

Really good to see and hear, congratulations
April 4, 1972. Mine is coming up in the spring.
I don't know how to explain to others that want to know what exactly is wrong with me?
Have you come to an good answer? Maybe I could borrow yours?
We wish you a very happy anniversary !

No need to explain, but tell them nobody names their kid Camaro or Vette, but they do name them Shelby.
Plus after 50 years the stories are awesome
I hope to be on my deathbed smiling about all the things "I did", rather than crying and saying "I wish"
I sometimes say the car is like a Kardashian, dark, covered in gold, has a checkered past, but with the right protection (seat belts and good tires) I'd ride it

Well maybe, but it doesn't have a fat injected butt and hasn't had a sex change.
Some say one is getting old when dreams have turned to regrets? Possibly but think of all the divorce attorney fees I've never needed to spend on?
Very nice steve. Hopefully 6s689 will look that good in a couple of months when it gets painted. Mine was taken off the road in 1970.
Congratulations, Steve. A true milestone indeed!
Steve, congratulations and welcome to the 50+ years of Shelby ownership club!

Steve, we chatted at this year's MCACN show. I'm 10 months ahead of you ownership-wise but you are 180,000 miles ahead of my GT350. Congratulations and many more years of ownership to you.
Steve,that is so cool.I am extremly happy to hear about the result of the good decision you made so many years ago. Enjoy the day.
Way cool! Here is hoping you have many more years of ownership and fun.
Excellent, Steve! So much in the world has changed in those 50 years. But for you, your GT350 has remained a constant.
Rev it to redline once for me!

Wow. Not all of us were 12 years old like you when we got our cars John.

John - Congrats to you too! Great photo as well.
Nice picture
Congrats Steve and to the others here!
Was nice to chat w/you at MCACN.
Congratulations Steve for 50 years of great ownership! I enjoyed meeting you at the national ford show in Carlisle in 2021. You and your car presented well.
It's great that you guys kept your cars all these years, I have seen so many people sell their cars and then have nothing but a story about what they used to have.
Congratulations, I've owned 6S550 for 54 years, and still feel like a young man every time I get behind the wheel. Ron
I feel like I'm 21 and chasing girls again when I get behind the wheel. I can't run as fast as I used to but the women I'm after are slower too 🤣
