Hi, any idea when the 67 registry will ship?
Cheers

Very soon... the masters are at the printer this week.

We should have details within the week on a secondary hotel with special rates.

Shelby American Automotive Club is proud to announce Hagerty as the official driving partner for SAAC National Convention.

These days feel uncertain, for everyone. Our friends at Hagerty know there's plenty of road ahead though and they look forward to supporting club events later this year.

Hagerty will be a supporting sponsor of SAAC and the annual convention for the next three-years. Whether you own one Shelby or a collection of cars, they'll create an insurance policy to fit your needs.
Plus, Hagerty has a great newsletter, awesome videos, content, and engaging forums to keep you entertained while spending more time at home.

"SAAC is very fortunate to have Hagerty as a partner supporting wheels in motion events. We have seen incredible growth and excitement surrounding our SAAC Convention and touring events. With Hagerty fully on board, we anticipate great things ahead for all SAAC members, and we will be welcoming Hagerty Drivers Club members to join our events", said Jim Dolan, SAAC Board of Directors.

Maybe the winning ticket should be drawn at the next Convention .. 🤔

We thought of that....
Normally, these type of sweepstakes run for a full year. With the convention in early Summer, that does give it a chance to run its course.

We decided to compromise with a Fall drawing date

Just a polite question:   Why not an aluminum body?   Yes, more $$$$, but also a significantly more correct replica.

A very good question... a fun car that was affordable and was easily converted trumped correctness. Lead time and acquisition cost was a big factor in the decision.
We wanted to present a desirable replica in a timely fashion, to kickstart some fund-raising for 2022... this fit the bill.

If this sweepstakes is a success.... maybe 2023 presents a raising of the bar... thanks!

The engine mods are in process...photos when available.
Dual Paxtons planned without the bubble hood

Any ETA on the New 1967 Registry?

Thanks

The book is in the final stages of layout and pre-press preparation... it could very well be at the printers this month.

Our community lost another one to the ages ...Bill Neale passed away at he age of 95

Gray beards know him well... new folks may sure recognize his artwork and may have not known his name.

Our friends at Shelby American posted a nice article on Bill... I thought I would reproduce it here....

Everyone at Shelby is celebrating the life of Texan Bill Neale who passed away at the age of 95.
A founding member the "Terlingua Rat Pack," alongside Carroll Shelby, Bill was one of the most beloved individuals in our community.
Inspired by an uncle who was a fighter pilot in the Flying Tigers, he became a Navy flyer in WWII.
Bill flew in combat over the Pacific and witnessed the signing of surrender documents in Tokyo bay.

Bill was a successful businessman, leading advertising programs for high profile clients.
A founding member of the prestigious Automotive Fine Arts Society, he was an internationally acclaimed automotive artist.
His artwork has been the centerpiece of many collections, appearing on everything from racing and event posters to corporate promotional pieces.
Bill was adored by both the everyman and celebrities ranging from Phil Hill and Dan Gurney to Jim Hall and Peter Brock.
A close ally of Carroll Shelby for decades, Bill was with him at Le Mans in '59 and told stories of Carroll at the 2012 Petersen Tribute.

Bill helped Shelby establish the legendary Terlingua Chili Cookoffs and most famously, designed the Terlingua Racing Team livery.
The "Gawdawful Yellow" and "Rabbit" crest was found on championship racecars driven by Jerry Titus, as well as a limited-edition series of Terlingua Cobras and Shelby cars.
Carroll asked him to create logos for the Carroll Shelby Foundation, which are still used by the charity today.

There are far too many aspects of the man to fairly summarize. He loved jazz, dogs and sports of all types, especially motorsports.
Bill owned and raced many performance cars, enjoyed road trips, was a veteran chili cookoff judge, and most of all, loved his wife and kids.
Bill was the consummate storyteller with a great sense of humor; he often declared that his biggest disappointment in life was never meeting a moose.
Bill was a quiet champion of the overlooked.
He tirelessly nurtured young people to reach their potential, whether it be with a paintbrush or in a business meeting.
It is impossible to estimate the number of individuals whom he helped become a success.

Those who were not fortunate enough to know the Texan will most likely remember him for his artwork and friendship with Shelby.
Those who did, know that he made the world a much, much better place.

He came from humble roots and crafted a life worth living. His legacy will live on through his art, the cars he was involved in and most of all, those he touched.
Each time you hear the rumble of a performance car or see a Shelby Terlingua car at speed, smile and think of Bill Neale. We will.
