I recall going to Virginia with a friend. Gary called me at the last minute looking for a room. We let him be the third wheel. He slept on a roll away bed. My buddy picked on Gary the whole weekend. I thought, "Oh well, that didnt go well"

At the end of the weekend, Gary said " thats the most fun Ive had at a convention!"


...and then there was the clean suit...

I'm looking for 9F02M480004. Have you seen it?

Yep. Yes I hadn't thought of him in a awhile but since his name was mentioned I too can't help but smile thinking of him. He was quite a character in a good way.

And why did no one ever get a picture of him in one of those. IF one is out there post here or start a new thread.  ::)

Dan,

I still own the Raven Black KR "02591" and rest assured have no intention of selling it while of sound mind and body.  I'm having too much fun in making it factory/period correct as well as driving it on weekends and showing up for AACA events and Carlisle Ford Nationals.

02591 still runs on Turbo Blue 110 leaded racing fuel and rides the road on its bias-ply tires.

In fact, it was at the Carlisle Ford Nationals today in category G306 Shelby "King of the Road" and will be there tomorrow.

How have you attempted to reach out to me-email or social media?  I don't recall receiving any inquiry.  In fact, it was Tim Lea and Tim Brillhart (previous owner) that brought your inquiry to my attention and the fact that a clone sale advertisement is citing my KR's SUN.

Great to hear you put your inquiry on the SAAC Forum for verification!

All the best in your search for a legitimate KR!

Sincerely,
Don Pealer

The owner shows up because he was alerted that someone was trying to pass off his car and was notified. The strength of the Forum

It was great meeting you yesterday, Don. Truly a beautiful car!

Hopefully I can get mine out there in the next few years.

Don I'm not looking to buy your car. I have attempted to contact you through Facebook messenger with no success. I have found a car in my hometown exactly like yours including the VIN (Shelby plate, window and buck tag) numbers. I have pictures and names.  I think it would be worthwhile to contact me. Please others I have nothing but good intentions to handle this is an appropriate way. Let Don contact me, and we will determine what to do. If you know Don have him contact me please.
