SAAC Forum

Found more SAAC memorabilia in the bottom of a closet. This is the Shelby American Cobra World Registry copyright August 1976. Just message me with your name and address and it's yours. I ask that you donate the cost of shipping (or more if you choose) to your local food pantry or other deserving charity.

I was going thru some very old papers and found two envelopes from SAAC (I was a member from 1976 to around 1978). One was my membership certificate with a welcome letter from Rich Kopec and the other was the announcement for the first International SAAC convention in Oakland,CA.
If anyone is collecting SAAC memorabilia, you are welcome to the convention package. Just message me you address and I will send it to you.

Found this article the other day. Has some nice competition photo's of the car. Don't know much about the author so I'll leave it up to the experts to critique it.

A friend of mine's brother bought a 65 K code long block engine, and yes, it is a hipo engine. All the correct components are there including the brindle mark on the crank. He is has removed the entire rotating assembly and is only using the block to build some crazy high rpm engine for his kit cobra (do not ask me why...I'm still scratching my head). The components removed are;
pistons
rods
crankshaft
hatchet weight
timing chain
cam
solid lifters
He is thinking of selling them and has no idea what they are worth. So......opinions are appreciated.
I am also posting this question on the Vintage Mustang Forum.

While I am new to this forum, thought you all would enjoy these photo's from Sebring SVRA last week. These were sent to me by a fellow member in the Mid Florida Mustang Club. I recently met CSX4133 on his way home and there are several very nice takes of his beautiful GT350. You all may recognize other cars. Enjoy.

These came with the K code project I bought 2 years ago. They were in the car but way to stiff and raised the car about 5 inches in front.
They were cut about 3/4" on the top coil....don't know why.
Here's the deal, I don't need them. Yours for free, just donate the shipping cost to your local food pantry or other worthy organization. Shipping is from 32746.

Hello everyone, new guy here. Not a Shelby owner yet.....working towards it. Had opportunity back in 1971 to buy a 65 GT350 for $5000 but bought a Trimuph motorcycle instead. Yes, I am still kicking myself..! I currently own two 66FB's, a C code and recently a K code project (no original parts are left on it).
To my question, a friend of mine has and early 289 hipo engine that came with a Shelby Cobra intake and he is trying to determine if it is original. I initially asked this question on the Vintage Mustang Forum where I am a member.
