Hello, is Jeff James still in business? Would like to talk to him about my Shelby.
Thanks
He reported at the last SAAC Concours show that he is retired from restoring cars

CONGRATS on your retirement Jeff.
I have had the privilege to have Jeff restore seven vintage Shelbys for me .....
1966 #1573, 1966 #2381, 1967 #2545, 1967 #2666, 1968 #330, 1968 #1142, 1968 #2750
All SAAC Concours Gold ..... 1 to 3 times each.
I have enjoyed every moment Jeff.
Congratulations on your retirement! Very well deserved.
You have an open invitation to my garage anytime.
Respectfully,
Rick (aka Engineer)
Thanks for the information. I recently acquired one of his restorations, 6S1336 (2016 Gold Award) and just wanted to talk to him about the car. But I have been told he did not keep records so it could be that he would not remember much about the car anyway. It surely must have been a special experience to work with him during a restoration.
Thanks

I don't think I ever saw Jeff unless he was with you and at least one of your cars, Rick. Great guy.
There are images posted from SAAC 47 of the two '67 Shelby's Jeff's shop did, Red and Dark Moss Green, and Jeff is in a couple of the shots. Also a shot in the 2022 Fall The Shelby American that just came out.
Both cars won Gold - nice way to retire ;-)
