I hear we might even get Chris Brown to do a return appearance?
Brent
Yes he needs to return the asphalt he peeled away last time leaving the parking lot right in front of Joyce Yates & boy did he get chewed out!!!

Chris
AND kool dudes
That show and event is a must for those who haven't been to one. Great people, cars and more. You won't be sorry.
Just talked to brent and we are going to allow 70 shelbys to be part of the 69 shelby 50th show since 70 shelbys were all built in 1969 & the 69 shelbys that had the changes made at Kar Kraft to 1970s had to be completed by the end of the year 1969. So now its a 69-70 shelby 50th year show!!
So, Ed, what about an old black 68 vert joining this year?
68 Fella
Sure don would love to have that great 68 triple crown triple black vert well earned high point gold car since its been shown at all the other major shows last year after a recent concours restoration after collecting 68 parts for 30 some years.
This is turning out to be a hell of a show as always! some very significant cars attending.. Cant wait..
chris
Just talked to rex myers & they are going to bring their 69 shelby gt500 #2860 pastel grey with the red cougar dash interior & its been YEARS since we seen that unique shelby of fred goodell conelec fuel injection development. Been working with George H. (classic design concepts) making a kool 50th aniv. 69 shelby grille emblem (limited collectors item) that will be part of the 69 shelby registration packet for the 69-70 shelbys coming to IN. SAAC meet. Also just a short drive north the Steven Juliano collection will be a BIG hit selling at indy mecum auction on friday so you can make a big weekend trip hit the auction friday come to Brown County SAAC meet saturday.
It's going to be a good one.
Getting cars registered that haven't been out in public in quite some time.
It has the feel of a Spring Fling of the late 80's, early 90's.
All we need now is for Joyce's, Honey West Cobra, and Steve's ,66 GT350S to show up.
I can just see it now, Joyce Yates giving Chris Brown "HELL" for a bit of an infraction on the show field.
Boy, those were the days.
So, for those that have never been to, and those that haven't been in some time, It's time to head to Nashville, Indiana
for IN SAAC's 42nd Spring Fling and help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 69-70 Shelby GT350 & GT500's !
go to: www.insaac.org for registration information.

IN SAAC
The 50th 69 shelby grill emblem is done can anybody post a photo & the first 50 will have gold (50th) snake on them. George (CDC) did a great job making these sure to be collectors items!
I just registered for this event - never attended it before. Is there room to park our enclosed trailer and tow vehicle at the hotel parking lot or somewhere close? We are planning to bring my 69 GT350 convertible.
yes trailer parking at 2 places its a BIG & scenic park & nashville attactions are only short distance away.
Here is a look at the Grille Medallion George created for the 69/70 Shelby anniversary at the Spring Fling. These come so you can either put it on your grille or it can be magnetized to put any where you would like. Pretty damn cool!

So Brent, to be clear will you still have to pay for a bidder's pass? Never been to Mecum so am not aware of the costs. I'm asking because I am tentatively going to Mecum on Friday and your show on Sat. Never been to either. Unfortunately as much as I want to bring My 70 Shelby GT350 vert I have no real way of getting it there. I plan on calling you sometime today on specifics on your show. Gary

Yes very nicely done. Good job to all involved with making this happen
Jeff, you should come and see what us Midwesterners and Hoosiers have !! lol There is going to be some pretty significant 69-70 shelbys plus other cool survivors there all in one spot... Might be a party in one of the rowdy cabins with a band!!

haven't even started it in months and those local events I drive to. I also need to find out more specifics about the show as I have never trailered and what type of security and such. I haven't got commitments from others yet as to who is going either so I am working on it. Gary
No problems in the state park plenty of secured parking & local nashville big time shops for the ladies to spend $ on stuff we dont need!

Yes on 65 items. My friend is bringing his 69 as well. Looking forward to this event as usual :)
Just had a 65 , 289 Cobra sign up for Spring Fling!
WOW! This is starting to feel like a Spring Fling from the early 90's.
And for those interested, this Cobra isn't the Honey West Cobra.
Brent
Yeah and whoever buys any of the 4 Steve Juliano RARE cobras on friday at mecum can drive them just south 40 miles to spring fling saturday & get into the show for free!!!!!!

Pete forget a navigation device. Use the WAZE app for your phone if you have a smart phone. It gives you the best route and the time. It was spot on on my 5 hour trip home. It has yet to fail me yet on time and routes. Gary
To those who missed this years Spring Fling, oh u missed one of the best. Pony trail on Friday was the best road and curves u could get. The weather was fantastic and Sat's show was just awesome. Some cars u may never see again. Be sure not to miss the next one.
Can some post pictures?

Hey Sheff, I took a lot of pictures and for some reason yours didn't take. I was going to post it with a birthday wish on Sat. Oh well, I got others from the local show or your car. Gary
Our first time to this event. Wonderful show and people, plus a whole new view of Indiana. Great time!!
Thanks for posting the photos Gary. It was nice to finally meet you in person after all these years. Had a great time at this well organized event.
Yes - Thanks for posting all the photos!!! Nice collection of '69 cars.
(anyone know the car number of the white '67 big-block with outboards?)
My friend's name is Vytas - he provided the enclosed trailer that allowed me to bring my car. He was busy helping Ed Meyer with judging.

Yes vytas was a big help judging as he knew alot about 69 shelbys.
I had a good time.. good to see some of the forum members
Thanks to everyone who helped put the show on.
Special thanks to Ed, Bob,Pete, Vern, Randy and anyone else I forgot who judged.It is never an easy job.
It was a great show .
Brad
I want the record to reflect I only judged for "free" lunch
We had a problem with one concours entrance seems there was cash found under his judging sheets so we returned the cash then he tried giving beers to the judges so we went back and rejudged his car much harder next time and lowered his score to teach him a lesson then we drank his free beer!!
Owner of a yellow car, no doubt
u guys did nice work and also crack me up

The 67 was a 4-speed a/c cal. smog lime green gt350. 24 69-70s i think & one never got off the trailer & 1 drag pack vert guy hurt his back so car was registered but he couldnt make the trip i was told either way it should be a record of most in 1 place since 1970 but not sure of that either. 5 rare yellow in 1 place should be a record & 5 drag pack gt500 verts should be a record. I was working on 3 more from my area going but not enought trailers & too busy helping out with the mecum Steve Juliano auction but hey we all got free passes from mecum.

I was wondering why it appeared to have a single carb air cleaner (with that odd base). It has a deceptive 'GT500' grille emblem.
There were only two (2) '67's built with 67203F7A0xxxx VINs. That narrows it down quite a bit (#2589 or #3188)
My guess is #2589 as the other car is pictured in the registry in a dark paint color and noted for a future planned restoration back to Lime Gold.Edit; not a 203F package see below posts

So I'm off the hook? . If George never took his off the trailer he should have taken mine in it's place since he lives right by me. LOL. I think it was George, right, Ed? Gary

It could pass for a barn find prototype given the boss 302 transplant engine, 68 deluxe door panels,70 high back bucket seats among other things. The owner ( local Indy guy) had the Shelby numbers covered up on both sides. Maybe so after restoration a future owner would not have to bare the scarlet letter of it's previous out of the ordinary condition.
Scarlet letter! Oooh, I guess so with all the mix matched parts mentioned.
If it is a 67203F7Axxxx car and only 1 of 2 that's something positive for the current and future owners.
We know A/C is not common among the 67's. With less than about 10% of production getting it.
Edit;
Thanks for posting the VIN photo '65Clone'
Not a 203F but rather a 201F package...
Only 11 Lime Gold GT350 with a 4-speed and A/C so still rare, but a few too many options to narrow down.
I suspect all 11 would have outboard grille lights. The two earliest SA completion dates in late March and shipped in late march would not have the Z stamp.
Of the nine remaining, we know several are currently or recently painted Lime Gold (or other colors, not white).
That leaves us with #1780, #2013, #2294, & #2295 (#2295 was reported to have been painted white in '99)
At the show
Shelbymann1970 asked: Was the free Mecum a 1 time deal for SAAC?
The offer was for this year to help with promoting the Steve Juliano collection. Now that Mecum knows there is a major Shelby event going on the same weekend as the Indy Auction, they (might)want to work with IN SAAC for future events.

My wife said she would like to go next year. She loves the town and area. She endured the auction and actually liked it but was negative going in as auctioneers drive her crazy(too much bar-jack on TV over the years?). She enjoyed your show also Brent. It would be nice if Dana offers the same thing next year to the Shelby clan. One of the reasons for not bringing my vert was I was leery what to do with it. The security. Going to Indy on Friday what to do with the hauler. Staying in town. Many questions I will need answered next year if I can swing-or own- a trailer to start taking my vert to out of state events. Thanks again for your time and effort on putting on this show that I have been getting mail for for almost 30 years now and finally attended. Gary

Gary, This was my first year at the event, but I can at least comment on what we did with the trailer/security. Trailers/tow vehicles were parked at the pool parking area (I think). It was a bit congested with mountain biker parked vehicles/other trailers when we loaded car on Saturday night, but it was doable. We unloaded my convertible friday night and left it parked outside overnight at the lodge along with at least 20 other shelbys. I wasn't worried about it since we were inside a park - perhaps I should have been, but no issues. I've been caught in the rain driving my shelby so I am getting more comfortable with leaving it outside overnight, etc. If not for my friend Vytas with an enclosed trailer and tow vehicle, I would not have attended the SAAC conventions at VIR, Poconos, Mustang 50th show in Charlotte, NC, etc. I don't know how to do the tie down process. Vytas has a lock on the hub so trailer could not be towed away very easily. I have the car, and he has the towing capabilities, so together we can trailer my shelby. It is a good team effort. Hope this helps.
We have additional trailer parking space available at the horse park. This is right across the road from the trailer/mountain bike parking area.
The park is patrolled after hours by both the Brown County Sheriffs Department and the Park Rangers.
Most people, including myself, unload their cars and park them at the lodge, or near the cabin they are staying in. You can even park right in front of the lodge if you like.
Glad you liked the Spring Fling, hope you return next year.

on Sunday while shopping I thought I saw you headed though town with an enclosed Trailer(with your wife and Mi plates). I thought that is the way home-37- instead of 65 up to Indy. :)
Brent- this event is always the weekend before memorial day, right? I am already making plans for next year; I've been away too long. You guys always had one of the best events with the best people. I just got the car out of the shop after building the engine/gearbox and I'm ready to drive. Ever hear out of the Oldridge guys?
Thanks,
Tim

Tim, Yes, IN SAAC Spring Fling is always the weekend before Memorial Day.
2020 will be our 43rd year.
Oldridge Guys? Do you mean Ulrey?
You know-Jerry Oldrige and his son from arkansas. they used to always come to the spring fling and go to Tulsa.
Jerry brought his green/gold Hertz car but Mike stayed home to mind the store.
He received his 20 year pin Friday evening. A fun guy to be around.
