Regional Shows and Events / 1984 Englishtown (Fall Swapmeet / Sunday show)
« on: February 23, 2018, 02:31:07 PM »
There were several Shelby's here that got me all worked up. I didn't even have my driver's license yet.
(taken with a lowly 110mm pocket camera)

Edit: I was just reminded that the stock cars were shown on Sundays. Saturdays had all the custom and street rods

SAAC Forum Requests / How do we get to the Outbox in "Messages"
« on: February 23, 2018, 11:22:15 AM »
I've looked for it, clicked on personal messages, but only see the Inbox.

Is there a method for getting to the Outbox that I haven't figured out yet?
Thanks

1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / 66 GT350 photo with MFG plate
« on: February 22, 2018, 06:40:06 PM »
I just came across this really sharp B&W photo that appears to be vintage '66 from the correct tires, MFG plate, and overall background.

The rocker panel has the same paint scrapes as we see on 5r539 (the 1967 Lemans raced R model) in vintage photos.
I've never seen this area so scraped up on any other car until this photo showed up.
(edit; photo was found on the highdef forum page 1004, posted by Lee Stewart)

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / 1967 Shelby Notchback "Little Red"
« on: February 12, 2018, 11:37:41 PM »
The one and only "Little Red" in what is believed to be it's later updated version with numerous '68 styled features added such as;
-grille surround chrome trim, raised taillight panel painted silver, and the "SHELBY" letter added across the rear deck lid

These are the only 4 pictures I've ever seen of "Little Red". If anyone has better version of these or different photos of it please post them here.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / ’67 Flat Gas Cap Emblem – Got ‘em or Not?
« on: February 04, 2018, 02:04:02 PM »
We might as well bring this old forum thread back to track flat gas emblem cars. The total numbers have been noted as low as 60 to just over 100. Here is the list of cars noted to have them (or had them originally, but were replaced in restoration). Car #0082 with its 12/13/66 SA completion date is the latest date we know of. The only GT500’s known to have a flat gas cap emblem is the prototype V-738-2 and the first production GT500 #100. Please correct me at if there are any errors or let us know of any additions.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / '67 Upper Scoop Lights - Got'em or Not?
« on: February 01, 2018, 11:24:11 AM »
The original thread on the old forum was started by JD way back in October 2010.

I'm going to attempt to rebuild many of its components starting with the original post and the text JD wrote. I'll follow with an updated list.

Please be patient with me while I put this together. (Perhaps holding back comments until I can gather / post some of the informational posts and photos.)
Here's a link to the archived thread in the meanwhile.

« on: January 27, 2018, 12:33:22 PM »
I thought this thread should be brought back with some of the latest updates. Here's a chart that I put together from JD's old post with my changes/updates.
Let us know if anything is missing or incorrect.
