Jesse at Shelby Parts had one, I seem to remember he would loan it out.

Pretty easy to tell on that one, should have 6S pre-printed on the tag.

Is this a typo - SILVER   1967 GT500 - 67A02F2A01352

wouldn't it be 67402F2A01352

Fixed, thanks!

Thank you to all the owners for bringing their cars and all of our volunteer judges.  A big thanks to the Indiana SAAC club and all of the sponsors for the show!

The Fall Classic was the brain-child of our fellow Board member Brent Alexander, along with Ed Meyer and (now Board member) Nate Jones.  Along with plenty of help from the sponsors at that time: Jason Billups (Billups Classic Cars), Scott Fuller (Fuller Reproductions) and Barrett-Jackson, the Fall Classic was born during the Pandemic of 2020.  During a time when we weren't sure if we could host the event, the pandemic released it's grip just enough in the summer to open registration.  The first Fall Classic was held on Friday & Saturday, October 9-11 at the fabulous French Lick Casino & Resort...just before the world began to shut-down again with a second wave of Covid-19.

The event was such a success that our sponsors quickly focused their attention on a second event in 2021.  Many of us thought the 2020 show could not be topped, but boy were we wrong.  We are now heading into our 6th and final Indiana SAAC Fall Classic.  This year's event will take place on Friday & Saturday, October 16-17 and is now co-hosted along with SAAC National!

Much like the name suggests, the Fall Classic is meant to celebrate the Vintage Boss, Shelby, Cobra, GT-40, Tiger and other Specialty Fords with an indoor (climate controlled) display and Concours judged show in the French Lick Pavilion.  The Concours judging is done to SAAC National standards on 4-post lifts.  New as of 2024, we have opened up 20 display spots for the specialty models of the II & Fox generation Mustangs (requires committee approval) as they are now all 30+ years old...and considered classics!

Not to worry if you are a Late Model owner, as the show is open to spectators at no charge and we have the entire Orange Lot and Parking Garage adjacent to the Pavilion for an All Ford Cruise-in, with no charge or registration required.  This is a prestigious event, with some very high dollar cars that you don't want to miss...even if just as a spectator!

Many thanks to sponsors for 2026:   Scott Fuller, Billups Classic cars, Tim Lea Restorations and Nates Classic cars

Here's a '65 close in production to yours as a reference.

Pretty sure DDL has been discontinued.  It's lacquer paint and will not hold up well if you intend to drive the car.  Best to use a single stage urethane semi-gloss black.

Looking for a nice original pair of working Tung-sol headlights for a '66.  The type with t/s on the bottom and with or without FoMoCo etching in the middle.

Prefer without rock chips or damage.  The closer to NOS the better.

I have a later replacement pair with narrow flutes if interested in partial trade?

West Baden Springs Hotel is a nice alternative, just down the road from the French Lick Resort.

On the master cylinder rebuild, keep in mind that some of the rebuild kits have an internal piston with a deeper cavity for the push-rod than original.  What this means is the pedal will not align up close to the clutch pedal.  Make the rebuilder aware of this issue.  Otherwise, an adjustable push-rod will have to be used or modify an original rod to make it a bit longer.

Judging sheets have been e-mailed out.  Anyone that did not receive them, please let me know.  The pdf file sizes are a bit large, so check spam folders.
