They're not double posts. 
The Recent Topics list is set up to show the last 15 posts. 
If two or three were made on the same thread, each one will show up individually in that list.

Quote from: shelbydoug on April 10, 2024, 01:48:56 PMI suppose in the balance of things in the known Universe it doesn't really matter? I'm just curious on this. Is this just the default settings on the software or was it deemed necessary?

It's the way it works. How many get displayed? ..that's programmable.

Well, but in essence that's what I was asking you? This is a change. Not necessarily an improvement. Just a way to suggest there is more going on then there is? Kind of like echos in an empty hallway with nothing going on.

I think Tony is gonna' luv this? Somehow. Like a construction site in the city with posters plastered all over it. I can envision it now. FLSAAC plastered all over everything. Everywhere you go.

The difference is that in the previous version of the forum this section of the home page was "Recently Updated Topics" and now it is "Recent posts".

Now FL SAAC keeps his own count.

to 1967 Shelby Research Group
We have no literature or details on FCC.
Only info I have found with a couple quick searches is:

Foreign Car Center, Inc.
Alabama Domestic Corporation
filed on October 8, 1957
The company's filing status is listed as Merged and its File Number is 725-325.
No Registered Agent is on file for this company.

The company has 4 principals on record: Elizabeth M Beddow, William H Beddow, George O Wright, and June S Wright.

If you have the time, my approach would be to research the principals, their offspring, and other surrounding business owners that might remember FCC (Repair shops, junk yards, car dealers).

On the principal angle, you might be able to find their offspring.
Elizabeth M Beddow & William Beddow, deceased 1975
George O Wright
June S Wright
George Onley Wright III 1928-1988
-> maybe George  O Wright 4th, born 1957 is likely a sibling? (addresses and phone numbers are available if you follow the link)

Did Foreign Car Specialists receive any 1967 Shelbys?

According to the 1967 Shelby Research Group, 27 cars went to Foreign Car Center in Birmingham, AL.

I just purchased a 1967 Shelby project from a gentleman that had it forever...

I thought this was worth sharing....

Given the filename of the attached document (67 # 939.pdf), are you implying that you have the Jim Morrison car?

  404 A01 for manual transmission, no EECS.
E 404 A01 for manual transmission, with EECS.

  405 A01 for automatic transmission, no EECS.
E 405 A01 for automatic transmission, with EECS.

EECS = Engine Emission Control System, aka Thermactor.

The attached picture of the E 404 A01 engine tag was posted on the Shelby Research Group Facebook page by member Randy Atha.

Here is mine since 1981..

Was it ever figured out which car this is ? I've reposted the photos from the op, January 20th. 2018.

I believe this is car 67212F4A02928

GT350..out boards...usl...side exhaust...where are the tags from  "67 350 SC"  super charged ? ? ?

There was a question at the time about this being an upper scoop light car with out boards.

There was only one post by this person.


On forum 1.0, this was username "cobradad", aka Clarence.

I'm forever cleaning up my files 

I came across this image, looks like a photo/video shoot, what is the story behind it ? '67 Brittany  Blue with parchment, and do we

know the car number ? Is this from one of those road rallys in the middle East ? I'm looking at the women in the back ground.

Here is a link to my website with the information that was in the rebuild kit I bought in the early eighties to rebuild 817's MICO: file:///media/rgsimkins3/UUI/Shelby_Web_Pages/66_GT350H/MICO_MC/MICO_MC.htm.  Interestingly enough, when I told the guy on the phone that I needed a kit for a 704B1, he said "Oh, Shelby Mustang".  I've never had any trouble with the MC and it worked flawlessly the one time I had to make a panic stop.  Hope this helps.

Link does not work when I click on it. Says ,This site can't be reached

He may be referring to this:

The link to Mico is on the left.

Reserve not met on 1/7/22 at $145,000


Tmedia (The Seller)

Thanks to all the nice people who made positive comments and were very supportive. To the negative folks I'm also quite happy it didn't meet the reserve as I now get to keep my beautiful car, have some good information and a baseline # if or when I ever try to sell it PRIVATELY. Have a great life everyone...

I believe this to be an original Cobra Carroll Shelby Motors license plate frame.  Can anyone confirm this as original from back in the day or possibly an early repo?

Thanks
Jon

Your pictures match a pair I bought from Branda in the late 70s or early 80s.
