Hi Brian,
I did not see you yesterday. Were you there. It was a good turnout.

Michael Briggs

No Michael, I never made it.  I had transportation issues and had to turn back after about 5 miles from my house that morning.  I had sorted through all my Ford/Shelby parts the week before an had packed up an SUV's worth, so it particularly sucked to find I had a screw in my tire's sidewall and it wouldn't hold air.  I'm really disappointed that I didn't get to see everyone but I heard from numerous people how great it turned out.  Thanks as always to Bill Baker for setting all this up and everyone else who had a part in it.  I guess I'll be posting a lot of this stuff here on the forum since I cleaned out my attic and really don't want to put all that stuff back, lol.

What night is Pete Brock’s talk?  Is it the Friday night dinner on the registration website?

We have 20 cars confirmed from Carolina Regional Mustang Club for this Saturday's event.
Mixture of 1st Gen 65-73's as well as All Gen Shelby's 65-2023.
Weather looks to be picture perfect with Sunny and 79 deg!
Looking forward to a great event and thanks for letting us join in on the gathering!

Sounds great Mark, see you there!

I'll be there anyone else going?

I have a freshly rebuilt (zero hours) 289 HIPO engine for sale.   It was completely overhauled by John Callis, who has an excellent reputation as a top Ford classic engine builder.  He took over a hundred photos during the rebuild process.  It has a casting date of 6K17, and the heads are dated 6K27.  It is stamped 7F07K2752, but it's extremely faint and can only be seen when the paint is stripped off the engine block. 

It has a brand new Holman Moody 289 HIPO factory spec Camshaft and Lifters installed.  The cylinders are .020 over. 

It has a restored HIPO harmonic balancer C50E dated L6.    It also comes with a restored set of exhaust manifolds C30E-9431-B and C4ZE-9430-A respectively.  I have a nice set of early service replacement 'fanged' Cobra Valve Covers that will be included.  The Cobra intake is a brand new Blue Thunder replacement, and the carburetor is not included.

More information and pictures are available.

Hi y'all --

I've been trying to find Woody for a couple of years and today remembered he had a GT350 so put in as part of my Google search which brought me here.  Almost wish it didn't.

Woody and I served in an Ohio Army National Guard armored cavalry regiment together before his job took him to NC.  During this time he sent the green painted GT350 back to some place in Pennsylvania to be restored using his Guard checks to pay for it.  He apparently used several gallons of engine oil when he brought the car out to Ohio from NJ and didn't risk driving it to PA for the work so it was picked up by a closed auto-carrier full of restored classic cars. 

Just wanted to let you know Woody is missed outside of the Shelby world.

No doubt Chuck.  I was thinking of Woody just the other day as I thought about something I wanted to share with him.  He truly loved life to the fullest. I really hope I see him again someday, only hopefully not too soon.

Looks great Bill! 

Is there any interest this year?  I'll help set it up, if we can get a few owners together.  Anyone who might be interested, reach out to me.
