If you have the owners' manual that goes in the glove box that spec is in the back.

Have you contacted Dave Mathews the SAAC '67 Registrar?  He might know/have some history on your car that could help.

Quote from: Vernon Estes on March 16, 2026, 01:58:03 PMHey guys,

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread... but on a 67 Shelby... completed at SJ late December and completed initially at SAI Jan 17, 1967... would that car be "early" enough to need the "late 66" style sill plate emblem? I assume not?

I have an NOS set of the two line, coil snake version which I planned on using but just wanted to make sure that the CS emblem was only for VERY early cars.

Kind regards,
Vern
In "judging" I would be looking for the "two line, coil snake version" as it seems you are thinking too.

News from HQ / Re: Checkered Flag - Dave Friedman

Back in the day, photographers were hired and paid for the photoshoot, they retained the film generally negatives as most persons or companies didn't have the dark room equipment and materials to make prints and do retouching or to properly store the film.  Then they also sold you prints as needed.

You could negotiate that you owned the film, but the photographer would still hold it for you and still make prints as required as most didn't have darkrooms and print making abilities.

The digital cameras and reproduction output methods (taking your own photo editing "PhotShop" for sizing, cropping etc., to make files for sending out for any and all needs) came and changed some/all of that, as well as scanners to turn existing film into digital files.  The waters got muddier.

Different venues (print, on-line etc.) want different file sizes & types a whole maze in itself.

Now you can negotiate getting the (copies) of the original digital but sometimes you still need to acknowledge the photographer.

I too had heard there was an issue, years ago, with Friedman and SAAC (Kopec?) about receiving/being given film and loaning back film and not getting it returned and then Dave sold it and got it (borrowed) it back more than once to other entities? and others were not pleased with him?

Just some info, others will know or contribute more.

Up For Auction / Re: 8T02R203160-02423 on BaT

Quote from: stangman39 on March 12, 2026, 09:48:29 AMI'd think DC is not really following the auction much or comments. He probably has one of his associates handles it all.

In regards to BaT and their reserves.  I've sold a few vehicles on there.  I tried to run 2 others thru them and they were firm that they know the market and based on "research" they felt their reserve was very fair.  Both vehicles sold for much more than the reserve BaT wanted through other avenues.  One actually showed up on BaT a few years later through a "partner" with a reserve much higher than the one I wanted.

Yes, I would think with his "internet being" is such a key part of his circus (ego and $$$) he has "people" that post to squelch any negative post that pop-up.

It was only a matter of time until they started chasing cars with those plates, "low hanging fruit" they can make examples of the owners.
