Roy,

Love that color!

It's been quite a year, between elections and natural disasters.  As the year begins to wind down, it's good to think about and appreciate our family and friends, always remembering what's really important.  I'm optimistic for our hobby in general, even if the entire world seems to be turning it's back on combustion engines and full on embracing electric vehicles instead.  Nothing will ever replace that smell of fossil fuel and the sound of a Ford engine rumbling to life in the garage after a long winter's hiatus.  Something we all have to look forward to.

I wish all of you a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

When I was diagnosed with renal carcinoma 6 years ago, two members of this forum were incredibly supportive as I navigated my way through the entire ordeal, Woody Woodroff and Van.  Both of them were dealing with a bleaker prognosis then I, but both were far more concerned with my well being than their own. 

Van will surely be missed, along with Woody and all the other good people taken by this awful disease.

God Bless Van

A lot of things that added-up???

not original engine and overall appearance/condition?

I hear ya, but still pretty low. 

I really wish I lived closer.  The Simeone Museum is still a bucket list item for me.

Why do you think this was only bid up to $158k?  Is there something I'm missing besides the tranny swap or was it just timing?  There was a lot going on in the news when it ended.

Unimaginable!  Have been trying to text and e-mail friends that I know in the mountains and haven't gotten a single reply.  No power, no cell service. Last night, we made a donation to Samaritan's Purse (they're in Boone) but, whatever charity you chose, please do likewise.

Stan, that's a great suggestion.  I've heard elsewhere that Samaritan's Purse is a great organization to choose.

People have no idea just how bad the devastation is here in NC from tropical storm Helene.  Towns like Ashville are destroyed.  Our old Shelby friend 'Pookie' in burnsville can't be doing too well either.

I can work on getting us into the 'Celebrity lot' but as mentioned we would need to have a definitive group of classic Shelbys confirmed.

I plan on coming over. 

Looking forward to hanging out with you.

So Americarna is back and better than ever!  Or at least that's what they say.  The date is November 30th, is there any interest in me securing VIP parking for our Shelby club?  We'll have to have a commitment of a decent number of classic Shelby's. 

Leave your feedback right here.

Denny, now you can purchase that small block Cobra you always wanted.  I can't wait for you to give me a ride in it!

Bill,

You were the first person I thought of....Just kidding, I know it's too far for you too.

I know you would help Steve, you are a kind person.
