Parts For Sale / Freshly Rebuilt 289 HIPO Engine Dated 6K17 For Sale
« on: February 26, 2023, 11:27:02 PM »
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.
$15,000

Carolina Region SAAC / 11th Annual Columbus Lodge Day Car Show and Rib Fest, 2022!!!!!
« on: September 26, 2022, 11:32:07 AM »
Well, it's that time again. The air is starting to get cooler, the leaves are starting to change to their beautiful hue of amber and coral and the Masonic Lodge of Pittsboro, North Carolina will be hosting it's 11th annual Car Show and Fib Fest. This year it takes place concurrently with the Pittsboro Street fair, so you'll have two fine events to peruse. Without a doubt, this show garners the participation of some of the most unique cars in the Triad as we have multiple award categories and the trophies trump what you would find in most local events. If you are anywhere close by, try and stop by and say hello.

Misc. For Sale / Carroll Shelby's Pit Stop Deodorant Can For Sale, Half Full!
« on: August 14, 2022, 08:17:37 PM »
So you've saved up for years to purchase your dream Shelby, but one thing is missing when you cruise to your local Cars and Coffee. Carroll knew what that was. Not only do you need to look cool driving your car, you've gotta smell good too! That's why 'Ol Shel came out with his iconic "Real Man's Deodorant". It's said that the designers of this 'possibly pheromone laced concoction' based the unique fragrance on the smell of Ken Miles' racing jumpsuit after winning the 24 hours of LeMans in 1966. This of course can't be proven, but does it really matter?
All kidding aside, here we have a nice example of Shelby's Pit Stop deodorant. the condition is very good considering that most of these were used up and thrown into landfills back in the day. The label has some light water damage, and the cap has a crack in the top. It still retains over half of it's original contents, which will still spray on demand. It's a great addition to anyone's Shelby collection. Please see additional pics for condition.

I was using Jeff Stephens to restore my steering wheels, but he doesn't seem to be answering his email. Does anyone have an alternate person to this this kind of work?
Thanks so much!

The Lounge / Another 'Rare' Shelby from Dennis Collins

You can just jump to about the 16:00 mark to see the '67 Shelby GT500. I'm not trashing Dennis, I generally enjoy his videos (although his taste in primate friends is questionable), but only he can call a lime gold '67 with factory magstars "rare"!
"It's a grail car!"

The Lounge / Saw this 2022 Bronco today
« on: June 24, 2022, 01:29:04 PM »
I was at the dealer today and saw this for sale. Love the colors, but those rims, yikes!
I do have to say that in person (maybe not in pictures) the green color of this Big Bend Bronco matches pretty closely to 1967 Dark Moss Green. Price....$75K used, Holy Cow!

Up For Auction / Now for some comedy relief: a wooden Shelby Shift Knob on eBay
« on: June 06, 2022, 02:55:15 AM »
I really love when he says, "If you have a Shelby and want to make it correct this is for you." That statement couldn't farther from the truth. And the $7,000 asking price, why not considering the crazy prices we keep seeing on everything lately. For the record, I have ten of these and I'll sell each for only $5,000 a piece if anyone is interested...

Original used 1968 mustang Shelby 500 shifter knob. This item is in restored and un cleaned original condition. It's worn in just the right places in the wood finish, so it's visually correct in the driver's position. Good slightly worn is what it looks like and way better in person. Beautiful wood grain is amazing. This item has been in my collection for over 40 years so I know it's correct and not a repo. If you have a Shelby and want to make it correct this is for you. thanks for looking.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Car no. 666?
« on: May 22, 2022, 06:32:47 PM »
My brother was out in Massachusetts on Saturday and came across this car at a local car show. They're not the greatest quality pics, but I think they show car no. 666. Anyone know this car? Would the owner's name happen to be Lucifer Morningstar, or does he only drive a '62 black corvette?

Carolina Region SAAC / It's Official! The 2022 SAAC Carolinas Spring Event is on!
« on: February 28, 2022, 12:15:09 AM »New Spring 2022 SAAC Carolinas Event!!!
Gas prices are up, masks are off and Putin is invading the Ukraine, it must be time for another SAAC Carolinas Spring Event. You are officially invited to attend the upcoming SAAC Carolinas Spring Event on Saturday, May 21st, 2022, at the Hickory Regional Airport, in Hickory, NC. Like last year, we will be parking member's cars amongst the vintage military airplanes that reside at the museum, and it makes for amazing photo opportunities.
http://www.hickoryaviationmuseum.org
They have a fabulous museum that is open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, and we'd like to get as many cars in and parked amongst the planes as early as possible, so plan to be there between 9:00-9:30am. There are plenty of trailer parking spaces located in the airport parking lot for those who may need them.
As for lunch, there is a short order cafe at the museum, and the food is quite good which I can attest to. There is plenty of room to sit inside and eat, plus there are three picnic tables outside by the planes and around your cars. There are also plenty of restrooms inside the terminal including ones that are handicap accessible.
If anyone is thinking of staying overnight, there is a Hilton Garden Inn and Hampton Inn, both located about 15 minutes from the airport on I-40. From there, you can easily drive to the event in your car.
I plan to bring my growing collection of Shelby/Ford memorabilia, and we might even have another round of our famous SAAC Carolinas Trivia, so bring your thinking caps. Please RSVP if possible. We look forward to seeing you there!
Thanks,
Brian Denny

Carolina Region SAAC / 1977 Nov/Dec Shelby-Cobra Owners Assoc. of the Southeast Newsletter Scans
« on: February 27, 2022, 08:37:20 PM »
I'm posting this for Bill B. 
Here are two scans from the 1977 November/December Shelby-Cobra Owners Association of the Southeast Newsletter. It has some coverage of the 3rd Annual SAAC North Carolina Fall Meet, held in October 1977 at the Pine Mount Lakes Resort, which is just southwest of Hickory. Bill says there were over 80 cars with 125+ people who attended. His friend was the Editor of that newsletter for years and recently found several copies from various years and gave them to him. Back in the 1970s/80s, he and his wife commuted in Atlanta with their daily drivers, a '69 GT350 and '66 Sunbeam Tiger MK1. Ah, the good 'ol days!
