Carolina Region SAAC / Re: Charlotte Area Mechanics
« on: March 18, 2024, 08:44:39 PM »
It depends on what type of work you are in need of.  I would highly recommend Hunter Williard in Walnut Cove.  He is an amazing Shelby/Mustang/Mopar restorer with the accolades to prove it.  He also can get minor repairs done or at least direct you in the correct path.  Hunter is a true professional, and I am proud to call him a friend. 

If it is pure engine/transmission related, then SAAC Carolinas member John Callis is the man to speak with.  He is located in the Charlotte area too.

I am PM'ing you both of their contact info. 

Good luck!

Florida Region SAAC / Palm Event 2024
« on: March 11, 2024, 10:09:58 PM »
Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the Palm Event, a charity car show/brunch/fashion show at President Trump's place Maralago in Palm Beach, Florida.  Shelby Research Group (SRG) founder Brian Styles is on the board and had invited my wife and myself to attend.  Maralago is truly a beautiful venue to hold an event, and seeing 45 in person is pretty cool no matter what your political leanings are.  I uploaded some pics if anyone is interested.  No shortage of Ferrari's I might add.

Up For Auction / Re: 67200F5A01559 at Mecum Glendale, AZ.

It was a good buy. I think the repro tag on top of the color change really hurt it.

Maybe it was because Adam Levine previously owned it.  It's hard to get that guy's songs out of your head.  ;D

Holy cow, did you all see the final price of this car at auction?  $270,000!  I didn't expect that.  :o

Funny though, other Ford iron went cheap (at least I think so).  Check this out:

Up For Auction / Re: COBRA shift knob - What is it?

There is a guy who sells them on ebay, I picked one up for the heck of it knowing it was probably something sold at gas stations in the '80s or something.  Looks to me like it's off a truck.

Up For Auction / Re: Last first gen GT350 up for auction

The underside of this thing kinda reminds of the 1957 Plymouth Belvedere buried a half-century ago and unearthed in '07 out in Tulsa.

So 3 original 1967's left Lax, but a better question is currently how many owners now wrongly claim that their cars came with a 427 engine instead?  Quite a few I suspect unfortunately.  This is what makes the SAAC Registry and even The Shelby Research Group on Facebook so important.  It keeps people honest

Replicas and Tribute / Aluminum Bodied GT40 nice video
« on: February 18, 2024, 01:31:04 PM »
This is a great video from a few years ago.  Jim Cowden's aluminum bodied GT40 replica.  Sweet.

Apologies if it's been posted before.

Dear Kent,

Welcome to America!  What dates to be plan to be here in the states?  Will you be traveling around North Carolina or just be staying in Wilmington?  If you decide to take a trip to Charlotte, a visit to the Mustang Owner's Museum would be worth your time.  I'm based out of Chapel Hill, but would love to meet up with you and talk Shelbys if at all possible.  My email is:  Bubbletime1@gmail.com

Yes, we all do.
Always a somber time seeing all the wonderful pics posted of the GT350 Tours he anchored.
We just did our 3rd annual 'Toast to Woody' last month at our old Watering Hole.... Kristopher's in Matthews.
Hard to believe it's been 3-years.... We Face-Timed his daughter Noel and everyone got to visit.

So good to hear that Mark.
