SAAC Forum

I'm a thrifty and frugal guy - OK cheap. I'll be planting far fewer trees to offset the carbon footprint of my ICE car than an EV - I'm sticking with gas. For cooking too.

BTW: I also hate that SAAC is using this same 3rd party for convention registration.

20K over sticker. auto. No thanks.

They call it "limited production value". I guess they are saying we'd like some of its future rarity value you may glean if you put it away and don't drive it for 10 years.

Color looks more like the 1966 Silver Blue.

Don't shoot the messenger!

Chevrolet Commercial White

Or as we called it refrigerator white. The 67 TransAm (Titus factory*) cars were Chevy Sunfire yellow.

* fixed it

SAACs Rental Lincoln Racing Group will be holding a reunion at SAAC 48.

Hey - I resemble that remark....

SA did some continuation coupes - I think they were CSX9000 series. I don't know whose kit they chose to stick their VIN tag on.

At least on CNBC - https://www.thedrive.com/news/jay-lenos-garage-canceled-on-cnbc-after-7-seasons-and-88-episodes-report

Also anybody else heard about the Indian attack on Jay? Found it - https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jay-leno-suffers-broken-bones-motorcycle-accident-garage-fire-rcna67797

Jay Leno's Garage is ending its primetime run on CNBC after seven seasons on the channel and 88 episodes. The series began in 2015 after Leno left The Tonight Show and CNBC picked up the popular web series to air on its channel. Jay Leno's Garage featured the talk show host and his sizable car collection, and he often interviews guests about their cars.

CNBC confirmed the series' cancellation but didn't say if it would apply to the YouTube channel and series that Leno also hosts. In November, Leno was badly burned working in his garage and was admitted to a nearby hospital. He emerged after about a week with some burns but largely made a full recovery. Leno told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he was also injured in a motorcycle crash riding a 1940 Indian motorcycle on Jan. 17 where he broke his collarbone, two ribs, and both kneecaps.

Shipping from Hawaii will be a killer. I wonder if Bob still has the clear MPC J Car he promised me when I worked for him on Kit Car - I told him he could keep the box I only wanted the model.

What is sad with all these prototypes is that todays designer has no imagination. All cars with the exception of the car companies look, look the same, and drive the same.

Thank .gov. They put in the rules that cars need to meet. Aerodynamics is a set of natural laws that the manufacturers need to use to get the most MPG to meet the .gov regs. Tricking engine efficiency with things like superchargers and turbos helps get more hp out of small engines bit it's a false economy because as soon as you reach for the max level you're burning more fuel.

Not as many up for auction as I was guessing when I opened Brian's post. Compared to Kissimmee anyway.
a noticeably short list of Shelby cars at the Scottsdale auctions this year.

I wonder if the auction companies figured the southwest was saturated with SA cars and advised sellers to go to FL for new market. Or did they take SA cars to FL to get more butts in the bid seats.
