SAAC Forum

Hi Van,
Best of luck with a complete recovery.  I've enjoyed reading your articles over many years as well as your comments on the Forum.  Your car looks like a great one for guys and gals who like to drive them.

I saw it last summer at Fantasy Junction on my way to the SAAC convention, as I noted on the other thread.  And it's still listed on the FJ website, but maybe they didn't update it.

Excellent Greek...Congratulations! I hope to see it in person sometime in the coming year!

I'm curious, as we get up to that area on occasion, does anyone know what the actual street address was of Shelby's motel?  There are still a number of vintage motels in the area, as well as more modern ones.

Will do Van, looking forward to meeting you!

I bought Tommy's car through Lynn Park back in 97.  Have known both since that time, and frequently exercise our cars at the Cobra Club at WSIR with Lynn and Tom Mc, etc. as well as at other events like the recent SAAC 46, SVRA, CSRG, etc...
  Tommy and his son usually come out on the first day of the Cobra Club weekends from Az, and it was he who recently told me about the magazine article.  I have others in my files that I found over the years, at least one more written by you, Van...  6S341 appeared in quite a few publications over the many years that Tommy had it, and a few since we've had it.  It's a great early '66!
Cheers!

Hi Van,

Late reply...one was in Custom Rodder, April 1982.  Tom Ford owned our car at the time (6S341, blue with white stripes).  It was with Tom McIntire's cool Cobra.
