I attended Bondurant's 4 day school in 1994. Who knows, I may have driven that car. ;) These cars took a beating! Sometimes multiple students would share one car for a session on one of the accident avoidance exercises because it was so hard on the cars. It consisted of deliberately spinning the car while locking up the brakes.  A number of students did some off roading.
Of course not you. ::)  ;D

Parts For Sale / Re: American Safety Seat Belt

For clarity, are there a pair of belts for sale or just one set?

Notice most all of the vertical bars have had material removed to allow more air flow.

Just another "continuation" Shelby License product among a long list of others.  Nothing new about this type of development anymore. Nicely detailed and expensive product.  Now we have the CSX2800 series of five in the unavailable to the public  Shelby Registry. 8)

Each Dragonsnake costs $750,000 before options. These Dragon Snakes are authenticated by Shelby and built under their guidance with CSX # 's reserved in the SAAC registry for each build.
Maybe a Shelby American 'Registry', not in SAAC Registry.

With all the talk of fires and disappearing vehicles I was recommended by a friend to put one of these on my car.  He is a just recently retired airline pilot having flown big birds so I trust his judgment having survived 30,000 hours of time up in the skies.  I will let y'all know how the install goes.

I would recommend the knife-blade style instead. The screw type can have a corrosion issue and may not make good contact.    https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Disconnect-Isolator-Negative-Vertical/dp/B07YTWJQF2/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=34LGZDUDR06RO&keywords=battery+cutoff&qid=1702321955&sprefix=battery+cutoff%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

It doesn't appear the ad ones match the ones SA used/sold. The period SA photos clearly show the spline adapters used visible lug nuts to hold them to the wheel.
Only some of them had the lug nuts. Usually used on the rear of the factory drag cars. Customer drag cars nomally did not get the lug nut version. The lug nuts were added to help with the torque of the drag cars. The yellow car is CSX2427 (Customer car) https://bringatrailer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/IMG-1590-17162-scaled.jpg?fit=2048%2C1536 The blue car is CSX2357, A factory drag car. https://allcarcentral.com/Shelby/Shelby_Cobra_Dragonsnake_289_sn-CSX2357_1964_Cobra_Experience_Museum_MWP0851.jpg

Up For Auction / Re: 6S406 - Bring A Trailer

The digits on that engine photo can be 'combined' to achive many different six digit VIN. Which combination is correct? And if the problem was just a prefix number, why would the stamper try to correct several numbers? Why not just "correct" the 8?

who gets 1st shot at car

i would imagine the insurance company 1st
but what if there is a lien on the vehicle?

Does bank have 1st right of refusal before the owner?

Due to the increasing values of the cars it could make for a bigger  profit  for the bank if they bought it and flipped it .

just a thought  :)
Hagerty calls it "Cherished Salvage Coverage"
