News from HQ / Re: Checkered Flag - Dave Mathews
October 10, 2026, 08:59:13 AM
I became close with Dave after I bought 67 GT350 #165  and then the SAAC v Shelby legal matter arose. we joined forces in a grand effort to save SAAC! I had a vision-to create this forum. I reached out to Ron Richards and got him involved and Dave Mathews was our heavyweight to sell the idea to Kopec. Jay Talbot was also pulled into service.

This very forum would never exist today without his efforts. He and Nancy were great friends to My son Dalton and I ever since. they hosted us at their Home several times. He came and visited us.  we shared knowledge back and forth for the last 20 years.

We are heartbroken at this sudden loss of a man who has been so crucial to our lives.

I will remember him as a guy who lived his life his way. He enjoyed his life with Nancy immensely.
they loved Sailing. enjoying their cars and friends. and of course their shared passion for the 1967 Shelby Mustang!

Godspeed to Dave Mathews!

I tuned in when the initial 25 minutes was left I think it was $1.7 Million at that point. It was entertaining to watch, the comments were Gold! I have owned my 2005 Quicksilver No stripe GT since 2007. I have driven it to 6 SAAC conventions and it has about 25,000 miles as of this posting. I love the car. I plan on leaving it to my son who has been my co pilot since he was 9 in the car. Now I am in the passenger seat these days!! The memories we have made in this GT are irreplaceable. So the High Values Do not affect me other than Insurance premiums go up!!

My thoughts are this car will blast past $25,000,000 Dollars. It is time they get recognized for what they truly are. They beat Ferrari on the track. time to Beat them on the Block as well!

We just went to the Simeone today. I live close by and go at least once a year. seeing the Daytona Coupe is always the highlight of the visit. there are however so many amazing Race Cars at this museum, it is always so worth the journey!

Quote from: gt350shelb on January 17, 2026, 10:58:53 AMI have replaced thousands  of these air bags ....  in all the other cars .  really only ones that seem to  possibly have issues are the rangers and convert mustangs .   these 2 are always very rusty when removed .
I hear some FORD employees enjoy setting them off behind the dealerships.
