Hi Gentlemens, MCACN 2025 is on the way , and fortunately i'll go there !
This year at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show we will be celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the 1965 Shelby GT350.
Noted Shelby historian Colin Comer has assembled a stellar group of significant 1965 GT350s that will be joining us from across the country.
Within this Incredible display will be the Ken Miles "Flying R Model" and also the reunion of the only two 1965 GT350 Rally cars, 5S243 and 5S249, that haven't been together since 1965!
Don't miss the celebration!
I have missed it for a few years but going this year.
5029, the Carroll Shelby School of High Performance Driving Instructor's car, will also be there. I don't believe it has ever been displayed anywhere outside the West Coast.
Kind regards,
Vern
I am looking forward to it. First time going to this event for me.
I'll be there with 6S1431
Stop by and introduce yourselves at MCACN. Would love to put a face with the name
See you all again this year...it will be a good time as always.
Brian Littlefield will also be there this year.
I am not arranging any group dinners this time (Vern, keep your comments to yourself), but we will do our annual lunch.
Brian you will really enjoy this show. Last time I went they must have a new food vendor because I didnt see the sloppy joes! That was the only time I didnt have fun there.
😂😂
Nick - I will be attending again with our mutual friend Mr Hoffman. Looking forward to seeing y'all again. Looks to be a great Shelby showing.
Hey Nic, maybe I'll bump into you testing the seat of a 65 GT 350 like last time.
I'll be there also but this time I won't be walking around in excruciating pain trying to pass a kidney stone like last Nov( that honor came in July and August) so kidney stone fee and hopefully will enjoy the whole show this year as I left early last year.

it's an incredible even that even a kidney stone didn't stop me from going. Hope to meet you there.

You never forget a thing Bob. You're right, it is Vern's turn to buy.
MCACN is such a great event, so nice to load up a Reliable carrier with your cars and bring them in, but sadly not this year with 5S230 or others. Have fun!
MCACN was in its glory with 638 cars this year. Of great interest was the GT350 display of 9 historic cars. Not being Shelby Smart, I had numerous questions that Brian Styles and Vern Estes gladly answered.

And a video of many of the cars.
