👍 great looking car

This was my wife's and I third SAAC event. Good time was had by all. We really enjoyed the Friday evening. I finally got to check out the Simeone Museum. Always great to see a large collection of Shelby automobiles and talk to the owners. People who have owned their cars for 50 years. The roads were not much to be desired in NJ. -Kevin

Detroit and Chicago are much worse. Drove my 66 to the Museum and have driven the Michigan and Illinois roads. I-75 in Michigan was like the Ho Chi Min Trail after B52 flyover. The Interstate on the west side of Chicago is worse than a gravel road in Georgia. Some of the best roads I've driven on in recent memory in the 66 were in Arkansas. Smooth , gravel free and without a significant of guardrails.
I did get a shoutout about the car from a homeless person begging at the street light just before the turn onto I-76
 

Are you still in the states?  if so, where. I got a pile box of older Shelby American magazine I'll give you, probably about 15-20 of them. I'll even throw in a 1987 Registry. I am located in Maryland near Annapolis

As a former Ford Field Manager I highly recomend the Ford ESP Plan ONLY.  The reason is all Ford dealers honor it and if you have an issue, you can at least appeal it to the Ford Zone Manager.

As former Ford Technician and a Field Manager for another car company I agree with Chicago Chris. If I bought a new Ford car or truck I would only buy the Ford ESP.
By the definition of law they are not extended warranties but instead an extended service plans.
Many "extended" warranties aren't accepted by all dealers, and  the companies come up with new and inventive ways not to cover items.

Nice. The concours cars are on another level
Outstanding

Steve - Congratulations on turning (driving) 250,000 miles on your '66 Hertz #1431!!!!

Where's photos???


Rick Kopec has them

I can say that at least for me I had a great time at SAAC 49.
The track was fun. I heard from a lot of folks that the poker run was really cool, the Simeone museum was amazing with the demo of CSX2287, the car show on Saturday had a lot of cool cars, and even the weather was great after mid day Thursday
Thanks to all who made it happen and for all the folks who bought their cars

If you want to meet everyone at SAAC 49 then volunteer, Everyone there will have to come tthe registration table to pick up their packets, most everyone will be at the car show, most everyone will buy some shirts, hats, poster etc.
Volunteer and help and also have a great timer

Brian,
If I was closer I would do it, but las, it about 7+ hours away
Wouldn't be the first time I had a bride and groom in the Shelby
Check Page 87 of the Spring Shelby American

Jim deserved the honor of having his Cobra delivered back to him at that show. Great job done by all involved. The people are what makes these kind of stories so great

History will be made at SAAC 49. Be prepared to see more than you expect. A once in a lifetime event
More info to follow

If you have your "rare" black Hawaiian shirt wear it to the Friday banquet so we can take a picture

Enjoy every moment with your dad. Lost mine way too soon. He used to "borrow" my GT350 occasionally. He liked his Lincoln better. I did get a chance to drive a WWII Vet last Veterans Day in the Washington DC Parade. He was a Mustang enthusiast and a hoot to drive around

Almost 50 years of SAAC history will be in Millville in less than 60 days. Be prepared to see more than you expect. If you want to make your experience more memorable volunteer to help. You'll have the greatest experience, help others have a great time and possibly meet everyone at the convention
Volunteer and help make history

Works on a 66 also
