You can join Auto Club without their insurance. Their Plus level ($88) gets you 100 miles - Premier 200 (once) then 100 mile.
Standard membership only gets you 7 miles. We've had Auto Club for years just for the DMV services and never used our towing.
Sometimes when you get towing with your insurance you have to pay then submit your bill for reimbursement.

Team Shelby event: https://www.shelbystore.com/product-p/z79-bash24-ticket.htm

Thanks I'll pass - $765 to participate in everything. I won't even do their "shop tour" to watch guys swap parts on cars for $59.

The car may have been dealer traded before sale. It happened a lot in the past. Somebody wants a specific color or option and the dealer finds one at another nearby dealer so they swap inventory.

It's the annual Shelby Bash.

They were not street legal (emissions) but many have been registered since. Forrest Straight in NorCal bought/sold several of them he'd be a good source of info.

For what it's worth, I'll post all of the Bud Moore TA Cougar engine pictures that I have mined thru the years.

Here is Dan, Bud, Parnelli and Fran Hernandez at Bud Moore Engineering getting ready for the 1967 Trans-Am season.

Those guys are laughing about the big checks they're getting from Ford and Gurney's thinking how am I going to make this thing win.

That article is talking about development of the 427 by modifying a 2000 series chassis. Klaus Arning did all the engineering and SA built the modifications to end up with what was required to build the 3000 chassis. The adjustable shocks allowed them to get accurate spring rates and heights for the production parts.

You'd be surprised at how often 843 shows up in my passwords and on hotel safes.........

What's with the off road stance?

Quote from: red66 on March 22, 2024, 11:43:04 AMThe new policy requiring event registration to obtain the special hotel rates, therefore, is both unfair and unreasonable,
Please reconsider this policy and either make the special rate hotel rooms available without conditions or eliminate the event cancellation penalty.

Why is it unfair that you register in order to get the special rate? It's perfectly reasonable that only those who register are entitled to the special rate.
The cancellation fee is a separate issue not tied to the hotel - that is a fee to cover charges probably levied by the 3rd party they have handling the registrations.
You are now living in a post Covid world. The days of big discounts and comp rooms at hotels for conventions has passed. They have become almost predatory in their fees and rates. When a club books a hotel they have to guarantee so many room nights and sometimes food sales to get the rate. Miss the mark and the club will be writing a check.

The car is being sold on its Connecticut registration because Connecticut does not issue titles for cars older than 20 years.

Seems to be common in rust belt states. Most states will require the last registration and a bill of sale from that RO to register. Some may also brand the title or require you to post a bond in case someone shows up and says it's theirs.

Anyone going - April 14, 2024. I'd like to send you some flyers to stick up for my GT1 car. I'd trailer it down but I'm committed to the Antique Nationals at Irwindale Speedway that day.
Thanks

As a historical note Ray Brown sold his seat belt company in 1966. It became American Safety. He stayed on a couple years and then went to Superior - the wheel company.

The big change to the chassis came in 1967 when they moved the towers far enough to hold the FE.
Holman Moody came up with this fix for the 65 A/FX cars to fit the cammer. Eliminated the top of the tower and made a leaf spring that went between the lower control arm and chassis
