Met him a few years ago at SAAC 43.  It was an honor.   RIP brother.

The lack of moderation and the ceding of moderation duties to people that dont have the best interests of the forum or club in mind is actually suppressing participation.

Pete is right.  My membership just came up for renewal and I haven't renewed....... yet.  I've been a member for only 20 years so that certainly makes me new to the forums .  Not sure if I'll renew or not.  There's some great people here and all the top,.....top Shelby and Cobra experts in the world are all right here and I want to support SAAC, the forum and all the good people but damn, it sure feels like people are pissed and not much is being done.  It feels like SAAC isn't progressing or moving forward.  I admit, I'm undecided if I should cough up my $50 lousy buck or not.

All the cars at the auction look great but 5S262 looks amazing.  A SAAC Gold winning car.... I would buy this car and then do something dumb... like drive it everywhere.  Kiss a $100k good by due to road rash and wear and tear.

Any loyalty Carroll had to the cars was always trumped by making a buck.  His lawsuit against SAAC over the Registry is a clear illustration.  And Shelby Licensing has no loyalty to the old cars as illustrated by their release of the old serial number blocks on new replicas.  I suspect the parts support to Vegas Cobras will transition rapidly from Shelby to the aftermarket too, as Mustangs dominate their priorities.  As Yogi said, "deja vu all over again."

Are you sure Mustangs dominate their priorities?  I was at Shelby in Vegas a month ago and all I saw was Mach E's on their lifts.  F#ckin Mach E's for god sakes!!!

Congrats.  Nice car combination.  Midnight Blue is fantastic.

Yes, buying a Canadian car brings its own problems and headaches.  I did it once, but I would never do it again, life is too short and good cars are too plentiful in the US.

Maybe you can better detail your "problems and headaches"?  I've bought and brought 5 cars across the border and it's pretty easy.  There's border paperwork (export and import paperwork) and a 72 hour notification which isn't a big deal and of course you have to arrange transportation which I assume needs to happen for most purchases within the US.  In my case I drove 4 cars (68 GT500, 1993 Mustang GT, 07 Shelby GT-H, 06 FGT) across the border and I had to trailer my 13 BOSS 302S across as it's not street legal and a factory track car.  That's a pretty big cross section of cars crossing the border and I still have all 5 cars.   In my opinion, life is too short to pass up a rare car you may have been searching years or decades for.  So let's hear about your problems and headaches and help educate us.

Yeah, I"ve got the Johnny Bolton Ford emblems.  There were two versions.  I just got lucky acquiring them.

I think BAT has been in the drain, now I know it is.....where is the pinball machine? Where is the turnstyle?

That's funny.......... cause we all know there's a pin and a turnstyle on BAT right now so come one, come all, there's an ass for every seat.

QSS

PS, I happen to own 9 pinball machines so I suppose I may very well be that "ass".

QSS

I have 6 pinball machines myself!!!! Some EM, some 80's and newer.....Got any for sale?

None for sale at the moment.   I've got a bit of a problem, just like cars, I like to buy them but I sure don't like selling anything.

I filled out an application for one of the new Dark Horse R cars.  I submitted that I could possibly be "a gentlemen driver" for a team or alternatively purchase a car for personal use at my local track.   I would track the car a ton as I now have the time due to recently retiring.   I sent my application in directly to Multimatic as directed on the Ford Performance website. https://www.multimaticmotorsports.com/ford-mustang-darkhorse-r/

My application was submitted 2 1/2 months ago and as of today, I have had no response or any indication that my application was received.

It's a bit frustrating but heck,  I've still got my 2013 BOSS 302s with a freshly installed 5.2xs Aluminator.  That will keep me smiling for years to come if I hear nothing back from Multimatic.

QSS

best of luck on your journey

Thank you.

Holy freaking heck, that car sounds like heaven and I bet it goes like hell.  I want a track car just like that to put next to my 2013 BOSS 302s which has a new 5.2 Aluminator, monster of an engine......... because, unfortunately, I blew up the original 302 engine last year .

Here's a couple more pictures of #1394.  Me and the family from 15 years ago along with a mountain shot of #1394 in my hometown of Canmore, Alberta.

Oh dang, nice update Pete.  The Johnny Bolton Ford section is awesome and I'm gonna print it off and add it to binder for my 1968 GT500 Johnny Bolton car.  And thanks for featuring a picture of my car (#1394) in your Johnny Bolton Ford section.  I am truly honored.

I may have previously mentioned, but I have two different Johnny Bolton Ford dealer emblems.  One has pins on back of it and one is more of a stick on sort of emblem.   The emblem that has the two pins on the back side is definitely the nicer of the two.  I've always wanted to put the emblem with the pins onto my car but I've always balked at doing it because I'd have to drill two holes in the trunk lid to apply the emblem.  I'm sure I'll drill those holes one day and stick that emblem on.

Great update as always Pete.  You made my day.

PS  I've got an original 1966 Shelby American Invoice, sent to Johnny Bolton Ford that I'll email you a copy and anything else JBF related you might want to add to that section.  I'd love to get my hands one of those Shelby American Inc. cheques made out to Johnny Bolton Ford so I could add it to my binder.
