 Are any of you guys panning on going to the Highlands Motoring Festival in June? I saw that they are featuring Shelby cars; looks interesting.

Looks like a great event.  Page 13 of the brochure explains the Shelby involvement for this year

I'll go! Maybe some other Georgia SA cars will attend too?

Ted S was talking about this event also.  It looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Looks to be a plethora of Shelby cars representing "Carroll Shelby" cars at the Highlands Concours. Looking forward to it.

Views of Shelby's, etc listed so far.....

The Nightmist Blue 1967 GT350 appears to be #0159.

The added comment below the photo tells me he's watching our posts here and on some other sites.

Rich,

That’s John D’s awesome 67.  Looking forward to seeing it and all the other cars there.

Mine is not clean enough or restored to a high enough standard for such an event. Besides, I'd leave the dirt on the undercarriage and bugs in the grill from driving it there that would drive everyone else crazy  ;D
Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

 They're telling me it's really not a concours, that they don't look at the underside of the cars and check to make sure every bolt and clamp is correct; that a lot of them do the driving tour of the mountains. That being said, I'll bet the cars are pretty much going to be very nice, almost too nice to drive.
They also say Chuck Cantwell is going to be there, but I don't know in what capacity.

I am planning to show my AC in the show and looking for a auto transport service to deliver my car to and from the event. I live in Bluffton SC. Please advise.

From what I understand, the main show has judging, more on the "d'elegance" level and the Shelbys are not being judged at all.

 I hear they usually have about 20 cars of the featured marque parked together; I hope there are more than that.

Anybody sign up to do the one lap of the mountains tour?

The brochure has the judging information within it and what specifically is covered. I have it relatively easy in that my Shelby will not be judged, but will be on display.
