SAAC Forum

Hey friends I just checked the SAAC website and these are no longer available. I need one to do a little research on a possible buy for later. If you have a spare or one no longer needed, text me at 251 nine seven nine 4100
Thanks a mil!

Ya Never know. I assume it's a clone

Is this correct?

Soooo, I met a fellow member at Sebring a few weeks ago.
I had no idea how bad the bug would bite me!
It was awesome to watch this vintage cars roar by from the stands.

It's no apparent to me I need to try his track thing!
Does the Shelby club or do others have track days and what is required to be involved?

How folks, found one for sale just trying to be sure it's not a reproduction!
Thanks

Hey Shelby Friends, I'm crossing over from the 66 section to ask this for my Brother in law.
He saw it for sale and just wanted to confirm it's legit and maybe find out the story
Thanks and Merry Christmas

Looking at a temporary engine swap.

This is my first and is a Great read!

Hey Folks,
New guy here. I'm in search of a few items. Not for concurs restoration but a solid driver.
Magnum 500 wheels
Autolite carb
Distributor
Rear brake drum assemblies
T cobra oil pan
Steering wheel and center cap
Single reservoir master cylinder
Carpeting
Seat belts
Heater box


I have several items already, just compiling what is missing.

 So have drooled over Shelby cars since I was 15.....I'm guessing that is a very common theme here in this group.
About 12 years ago I purchased a kit cobra since a real one was just out of reach. It has been a blast.
I took my son to a ford car show several years ago and asked him to show me his favorite car. He picked a 66 GT 350. it had original paint that was a little crackled and the seats were very tired and torn.......it was a BEAUTY!!!
He was about 14 at the time and suggested we trade the cobra in on the white with blue stripes fastback. I let him know that we needed about five more kit cobras to trade to be in the price range of what he liked. He is 19 now and it's still funny.
I found an ad sometime back and spoke with the  owner (he bought it in 1969 or 70, you can reference your guide). I contacted Howard Pardee to confirm that it was a legit car.
So, my son and I made the approximately 1,200 mile trip last week to get the car.
We left early Tuesday from Gulf Shores, Alabama and drove to friends who live in Springfield, VA.
We slept a few hours and drove up to northern PA Wednesday at 4:30am. Traffic and country roads turned it into about noon arrival time.
We met the husband and wife who have owned the car for over 50 years! Amazing really.
It's was an original Hertz car and about 40 years ago, he modified it to look like a 65MR model. Including a repaint of white with guardsman blue stripes.
The original engine took a break long ago and he replaced it. I have many spares including a hipo 289 from a gt convertible. I also have the radiator and both the original front and rear glass.
I'm not sure what we will do next with the car but I do want to accumulate all the correct pieces.
I may have a lead on the original auto transmission, but I still need the following.
Magnum 500 wheels
Autolite carb
Distributor
Cobra tach
Rear brake drum assemblies
T cobra oil pan
Steering wheel and center cap
Single reservoir master cylinder
Carpeting
Seat belts
Heater box
Valve covers
If you have any of these original items socked away and are willing to part with them, let me know.
I'm not sure we will begin changing anything right away except the engine.
It's really too much for the street and runs on 110 race fuel.
I'm not sure of the horsepower but it makes my 425hp cobra feel like a Prius in comparison.
So for all you veteran shelby owners, expect a lot of questions!

I would like to see a couple of 1966 GT 350's
