The Lounge / The most original in the universe?

A mighty bold claim by Barrett-Jackson, and anytime something claimed remotely similiar, my senses first reaction is to claim BS. I see lots of white cad bolts under the hood which I'd think "maybe not", but '68s are not my forte'.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: Dennis Collins now claims his 67 mustang is 1477 - Dave?

While the car may well be the remnants of 1477, there is still a significant amount of paint removal to show its the same as the photos he was flashing. With that (and more) will he really be able to estimate how much is remnant. Old race cars are the hardest to prove origins.

If there is a kit, or resin conversion, inquiring minds would love to know. Mint Models shows preorder for a Spark 1:43rd for$79USD.

My hunger to have the "last" critical part lead me to pay an exhorbanet amount for a common part, not what I needed. Even from an established POC, be wary what you want, need and if the answers are not clear wave off your purchase.

Was the car in the Midwest featured in a Utube documentary found not it? IIRC, it had a good number of coincidental damages Morrison's car would have sustained, discovered when they were doing a restoration...

1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / Re: New excited owner, Hoovie's Garage, with a burst bubble thanks to you all

Hoosier, I found your animated enthusiasm of the car entertaining. SO many in the forum have had these cars LITERALLY for generations, and perhaps it is the familiarity with them that blinds us from the wonder of discovery of things outside our wheelhouse but clearly planted in history, if not fame and legend.
Congratulations on your entry into the aura that's Shelby American.

SAAC Forum Discussion Area / Re: Forum members please show a pic of your current Shelby and any awards.

No awards for this "experienced" car; no flash. Fewer and fewer folks bother checking it out, or asking questions.
