Yes, this is THE uber rare vintage Shelby collectible that everyone who owns a 1965 Shelby GT350 knows about.  It is an original, unsent 1965 Shelby GT350 post card.  If you collect Shelby memorabilia, than you know what this is.  What makes it even better is it came in a Tasca Ford envelope with an enclosed business card from High Performance Parts Specialist Glenn Tiberiis.  Tasca Ford of East Providence, RI. 

Tasca Ford, the home of the Cobra Jet and seller of many 'golden age' vintage Shelbys is one of the best know dealerships from back in the day.  Check out the back of the envelope, it has a full color depiction of the Tasca Ford Dealership.  So cool!  If you own a Shelby from Tasca, or just ever dreamed you did, this is your opportunity.  You probably won't get another chance to purchase such a fine example again.  This item comes from a non-smoker's home and well known vintage Shelby memorabilia collector.

(Please note: the image has been obscured to thwart counterfeiters, the real item does not have a yellow star, lol.  item is located in Chapel Hill, NC.  Shipping available.)

Price: $3,500.00

Automatic???

Does anyone know what hotel is the 'host hotel' for SAAC 51?

Bill, so that's what you've been up to.

Call me crazy, but I think someday it will turn up.  To all the nay sayers, just think 'Lil Red'.

Also, we still have a few left if anyone missed buying one the first time around.

I was thinking of making an alternate cheesecake version for the 21 and over crowd.  You know, shots of under the hood, headlights and especially the tail pipe views.  Of course, they would be more expensive. 

But seriously, thanks guys. I'm glad you like them.

Wow, Ai is truly going to take over the world.  I asked Google's Ai and it gave me a website to look up the '2000' code (02000) and it came back as Downtown Ford, yeah!

This is the website FYI.

I picked up this California black plate about 8 years ago.  The guy sold it to me via eBay, and said he wasn't sure where he got it, but that it was on his garage wall for 30 plus years. Can anyone help me identify which dealer it corresponds with?  Having the Downtown Ford ring on it, obviously doesn't mean it's from there, but it would be cool if it were.

I did research that black plates were originally used in California from 1963 to 1969, the golden years in our hobby.

Roy, just PM your zip code and how many you want.  Thanks.

Anyone interested in obtaining a 2026 SAAC Carolina's Calendar?  Not only does it feature some beautiful member's cars, but it also lists all the most important Ford/Shelby dates a true afficionado needs to know and be able to recite back at a moments notice!  I'll bet no other calendar in the world lists Carroll Shelby, Enzo Ferrari and Chuck Cantwell's birthday all in the same resource! 

The cost is only $20 plus shipping. Here is a preview:

Just PM me if you want one and I'll include you in this first order.

So Jerry Heasley posted the video pertaining to the unearthing of car 0244.  Thanks to everyone who came out to make it a success.

So glad you were there Bill Baker to represent.   

       This is just a friendly reminder for you to start taking pictures of your favorite Shelby ride for inclusion in the upcoming 2026 SAAC Carolinas member's rides calendar.  The higher the resolution, the better and uniquely themed pics stand a better chance at snagging the coveted holiday months.

This year's calendar will be on better, glossy paper and will once again include all the fun birthday facts related to our hobby.  For instance, did you know Lee Iacocca would have been 99 years old on October 15th this year.  Who knows, maybe when they preserved his body on ice (e.g. Walt Disney), they put him in a Ford Mustang or a Chrysler Mini-Van.   

I'll be waiting for your submissions.

Does anyone plan on attending the Mustang Owner's Museum in Charlotte North Carolina this Saturday, October 11, 2025 for their all Fords car show? It is supposed to begin at 9 AM.
