Those were the days my friend.I thought they'd never end. This is what I thought of when I saw the heading to your post. I'm sure most of you will remember the song.

Freemont 1980s "the real ones"

My first date with my wife was at Fremont drag strip, January 1st 1975  they put on what they called "The  Nitro Bowl"

This stuff does remind me of the muscle parts program. I've got the first catalog and supplement 1 and 2. I've also got a few of the decals.
Ed,how much do you want for one of your key fobs? I just donated my 2 different Shelby ones and a couple of tie tacs and a boatload of other memorabilia stuff to the Cobra Experience museum so I wouldn't mind picking up something else to put with some of my other display items.

  Thanks, Roy

Shelby and Cobra emblems front and back

     Roy

Gary AKA shelbymann1970 and I were discussing the emblems 2 months ago when he brought up the fact some (maybe all) were curved which I had never noticed so here's a couple of pictures of emblems that are being discussed and a couple showing me holding the snake at either end to show the curvature.

Interesting in that it looks like it's running fat tires on a set of mag stars up front instead of a set of skinny tires.

     Roy

Never to be forgotten. A Salut to all first responders🫡 and service men and women

Survivor, are you looking for emblems? I've got a few.

     Roy

What about the sill plates that have a snake instead of the CS? Are they correct for anything?

      Roy

Dick told me the engine was actually 472cu.in.

Don't think I want to deal with Gloria either especially after 41yrs of marriage. It would take several months to go through all my car stuff 😬 January 1st will be 50yrs since our first date at Fremont drag strip for the "Nitro Bowl"  I assume you were a member of Nor Cal SAAC? I started going to meetings with Jack Schroll in 1975. What's your name?

      Roy

I'm thinking about buying this just to add to the collection for display but my wife would kill me if she found out because if you count the wheels on the 14 cars and then all the others, I probably have close to 150 plus close to 150 tires 🤔   Where are you located? Maybe I could go get it and sneak it in and she will never notice 🤔🤫

     Roy

I think you can set the amount over a certain amount to weed out a lot of the low cost stuff.

      Roy

Hank told me that he also raced in formula 5000 and Trans Am.

      Roy

Any idea who bought it?
