A couple mornings ago around 110am.
Just had to stop and take a pic. Hopefully this opportunity won't present itself again
(Although I know eventually it will). Obviously I was in the process of moving it to
a safer location.
That is a great and dramatic photograph. Thank you!

John.
Know exactly what you are feeling. Had to move 1134 during the Thomas Fire. Hopefully, the fire does not reach your house. Stay safe my friend!

I pray that the "quality of mercy is not strained"...for all of those who are in need of a miracle.
John, I hope everything goes well for you. Stay safe.
Best of luck for you, yours and your property
^^^ What they said, stay safe.
Your friends here have you in our thoughts that you stay safe.

Stay safe mate, I feel for you
Good hear from you and others that so far have gotten by this one. Hope all turns out well - unfortunately that can not be said for all.
Guess the winds at the moment when the picture was taken were heading away given the visibility. Hopefully (just guessing based on the one picture and angle) that it was running up to the crest and producing a firebreak of sorts on the back side back towards you
As always - in our thoughts and prayers, for everyone affected
Good luck to everyone one on the west coast in the path of the fires!!!!!
Thanks everyone. The car is 99.99% safe. Its parked at the local Sheriffs station. If the fire destroys that place (its obviously a major command center right now) I could only imagine what the rest of So Cal could look like.
Prayers and good thoughts to everyone in danger out there.
Any confirmed Shelby losses due to wild fires in the last many decades?

A good friend lost one around 10 years ago and came close again a few days ago.
When things calm down you may want to send a copy of that photo to Kopec. Would make an interesting cover shot for "The Shelby American."

Yes sir, He was actually the first person I sent it to. I will for sure submit it again when I update the info on the car for the new "66" registry.
The San Diego Cedar fire in 2003 came within two blocks of our house. We would have lost it all except for the bravery of our neighbor and his water truck. With no help except his two sons they fought the fire all night and saved the while neighborhood. Our warning was 5 minutes so 1348 and my wife's 56 Thunderbird set in the garage. We know a lot of people who lost it all. We were lucky and grateful.
Good luck 1117.

Im sure you did notice the Krates! Don't see to many of those here on this forum. Mark Houlahan actually knew what they were as well.
