Here are some '67's at the track today...
Thanks for the pics! Please keep them coming. It's the next best thing to being there.
Craig R.
Yeah thanks guys, keep posting. I'll be there next year, but far for me this year with my old man being sick
Cheers
Thanks for sharing these JD!
:)
JD's probably going to be busy tomorrow with the concours judging.
If anyone can get a few more photos of the Brittany Blue GT500 and the Lime Gold GT350 (ID ?) that would be terrific.
(Just incase they don't stick around for Saturday's Popular Vote display)
THANKS in advance.
R
Did any R Models make it? I missed out on 5R002 when it was doing its tour. I'd like to see it some day...
In the background behind the blue GT500 is Hawaii members Kei and Miki Iinuma's black Series 8000 Cobra driven all the way from California. Nice to see that they made it across the country to another SAAC convention. 8)
Thanks JD, loving that Lime Gold GT350.
Some more of the cars above...
Thanks for sharing, JD! I'm heading your way today and look forward to seeing you. 👍🏻
Thanks JD for sharing. This will be my first convention in 20 years. WOW cannot believe it has been that long. With also going to the Spring Fling in May this is a record for me. LOL. Now I just need to buy a trailer.....Gary
I took some random photos yesterday. Take a look. Starting with Howard's R-model, and a cool set of original Webers for $12K.
Webers
Some cars in the Shelby American tent
I think the Daytona Coupe is the real deal. The Mark IV is one of Fran's continuation cars with an aluminum 427
Mobile Boss 429 car show from the Bob Perkins collection
From the parking lot of the hotel. Original paint, early '65. Very cool. Custom Ford GT.
No sure why my pics are sideways! They are correct in my folders. I'll rotate them if someone knows how.
If you upload them to your Gallery you can edit them by rotating, etc. If you are just going to attach them to the post then you would need to edit them on your computer first. I rotated and cropped them and attached them to this reply.
TheGT350 belongs to Bill Collins, I believe it's 006
Unrestored and much enjoyed by him
Rickmustang, if you take them from your cell phone and wish to post them here right away, you can rotate them 90 degrees then click done. Then directly go back and rotate again the 270 degrees to complete the 360, click done, then when you post from your cell phone, they will be positioned right.
Today.

Great pic of the Comstock R Model. Did it have the webers put back on? I recall they were removed at some point much later. Webers were legal for racing in Canada at the time of its heyday.

Lengendary brought the Comstock R-model. I never saw it with the hood up, so not sure about the webers....
Thank-you Thank-you Thank-you
Hats off to all of you who posted pictures. It great to see pictures of the cars that this forum is dedicated to.
No posers at a SAAC convention.
Thanks for being there to share when some of us can't make it.

Well said Chris
Shelby American borrowed my Superformance 289 to do a group photo with Aaron Shelby and Gary Patterson:
"Mark VI" - you have a Beautiful car!!
Here are a couple of group shots. One of the cars being judged yesterday morning, another with all the cars lined up ready to go on the parade lap and another of the largest grouping of cars parked.
Looks like I can't upload all at the same time for some reason so here is what was supposed to be the first.
And the getting ready for parade lap shot.

The Late model Black Ford GT is Paul & Lauren Fix's car. Lauren drove it from Buffalo to the convention.

Rumor has it Chuck C's granddaughter has taken quite a shine to it ;)
There were two new Ford GT's - black silver stripes with #2 on the doors, also third car that was red. (adjusted)

sorry Bill, I wasn't clear there were two new Ford GT's that were black with silver stripes and the number 2 on the doors as well as a third new Ford GT that was red. Jeff Burgy got some photos of all three of them together.
Photos from today.
More, including Howard's R-model and the last 1967 Shelby built

More, including Cobra Automotive's stable
More, including 5006 and a carryover for $275K
Final pics, including the aluminum 427 in the red GT40 Mark VI
Thank you for the great photos. We are bummed that we could not make it this year. Where do send our popular vote ballots??!! ;D
The red 289 Cobra with Weber's gets my vote as best car there.
First lap of the vintage race. The GT 40 Mark IV went out with mechanical issues on the next to last lap. Red Mustang won.
Any information on the Grabber Orange car?

For sale, but no price and I don't have contact. It was beautiful.

Didn't see the for sale sign the first time (on phone), was actually looking for chassis ID, I'll check with Mongo, thanks..... 8)
So, how many 69-70 Shelbys were in attendance for SAAC 44?
We had 24 at IN SAAC Spring Fling!
Brent
Honestly , it was Shelby and Cobra overload for all years. I only captured a small portion of the cars there. If you wanted to see it, the car was there. From drag packs to 4 speed AC GT 350s, to verts and to white interior cars. And that was just the 69-70 cars😁
Here is how my trip ended...ugh...radiator took a dump... my buddy came to pick me up....oh well. Next year....
Here's a picture of the red GT that JD mentioned in his post. I think the owners name was Tim. He was an attorney from Naples Florida with another residence near Akron Ohio. Said he had a few Shelbys and some other cars as well. Must be nice.
Top three cars after the vintage Shelby race early yesterday afternoon.
And Chuck Cantwell talking to the race winner. Got a chance to meet him and talk to him for a while just after that. Super guy and a great way to end off my two days there!
I found these videos on You Tube. No idea who did them, but it gives a good scan of some of the cars and the run of the road course.

Wow, can't believe the number of Shelby's in 1 place! Went to SAAC43 last year in Sonoma hoping to see as many cars as I see in this Pittsburg video. Must say I was a bit underwhelmed last year for my first convention. Does car attendance typically vary this widely year to year?

Thanks for posting.
I'm getting nauseous watching that video. It bounces around too much, but it's hard not to watch and see all the rows of classic Shelby's.
It look very similar to Indy with the number of cars attending!
Keep the pictures coming...please.

Very nice to see a metallic gray upper car restored for concours judging.

Some pics I took. First time using Flickr. Here is the link. Gary

This is a pretty cool panoramic if I can get it to post.
Corey
Cool picture
Need to bring back the professional panoramic group shot SAAC used to do that you could purchase. It was a very cool photo to have that documented the weekend. Usually was done at the car show and everyone stood by their cars. Love to see that come back.
^^ I agree! The photographer is Doug Chadwick and he still does the National Lotus conventions.

THANKS 'rudder' Ryan!
THANKS Brant!

Very cool!
Love the convertibles!
Love the pics guys! THANK YOU! Nice for us nerds that couldn't make it to SAAC 44. Keep 'em coming!
One more thanks to all for these great pics.
another of the LTD Wagon pulling the Cobra, different angle...
Adding my appreciation for all the pictures posted. Looks like a very good turnout and a fun time.
From Bill Cook:
I put 900+ miles on the '13 Boss 302 over 5 days attending SAAC-44 and the Team Shelby East Coast Grand Nationals near Pittsburgh, PA.
On Thursday, we were greeted with 2 1/2 inches of rain, but it couldn't stop the fun. The Team Shelby Cruise took us to the incredible Snyder Specialty Car Collection in New Springfield, OH (pictures coming over the next few days). After that, the good people at Columbiana Ford cleared their display lot for parking and provided food/drinks. Many in the group, including myself, had lunch at the adjacent Das Dutch Haus Restaurant and it was very GOOD! After that, I returned to the track for several hours before the afternoon storm came in.
Fortunately, Friday and Saturday were perfect, along with Sunday which was great for the drive home to Michigan.
Great turnout. Nothing is better than seeing and hearing these cars in person, talking to owners, catching up with friends and meeting new friends from all over the country.
