SAAC Forum

I posted these pictures a couple years ago of CSX 3134 that I took back in about 1979. In more recent pictures that I've seen of the car it has a plain hood with no scoop, in these pics I took it had a little bubble on the hood. I believe the car is now owned by Colin Comer, or was a few years ago. Is it known as to why this hood was put on the car at some point, and did the bubble serve a purpose?

Whatever the reason is, it makes sense. I've got to think that many of us that own the classic Shelbys own the newer ones as well. It would be interesting to know how many people on this forum have old and new ones.....

I guess it depends on if you include a dealership that never titled it in their name. Mine has had the original owner, his niece, the dealer we bought it from and my us. We got it in 1982.

Is there somewhere a person can get more details? Pricing, schedule of events etc? The person responding to questions on the Team Shelby Facebook page was very vague and offered no details.

Where is the Team Shelby Bash being held? Vegas?

I purchased this car a few months back and am trying to find some background info on it. It was originally sold in Utah and was registered in Sandy. It has a clean Carfax, but shows its had 10 owners including myself! It went from Utah to Great Falls Montana in 2011 and stayed in that area until it went to Missoula a couple years ago.  The decklid has been repainted and looks as though someone may have had a Fast and Furious type spoiler or something on it at one time as there is evidence of holes having been filled. It now has a 6 cyl or GT500 type spoiler on it. The hood appears to have been painted as well. Im assuming these cars were delivered to Shelby completely painted and they just added the stripes and hood scoops, correct? If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated.

So they say the mystery of 1447 is completely solved. What did they decide the story is behind that car? Seemed like there were alot of questions on that one....

They called them a Statement of Value at the time. Mine from 2008 is attached

I don't remember appraisals ever being a perk of membership. A "real" appraisal requires an in person inspection not someone saying they are worth X in Y condition. They would put you in touch with a local expert who could do it. Some didn't charge some did. The registrar will confirm if the Ford VIN and Shelby VIN you provide left SA together.
They still do 4 issues a year that you can view/download online and they send you a printed annual with all 4 issues yearly.
When it started in 1975 we got 6 issues per year. Still have Vol.1 No.1 through today along with most of the Snake Bite bulletins which was a monthly for sale sheet.

I have an appraisal from SAAC for my '67 GT500 from probably 20-25 years go, so I know they used to provide them.

I remember years ago one of the perks of being a member was an appraisal for insurance purposes was offered. Is that still available?

Great looking charger. How many miles?

It' been tucked away in storage for so long I can't even remember! I think it's pushing 100,000. Fun car....

A distant cousin

I have a cousin to your distant cousin.....

'65 Falcon sedan with under 17,000 miles, (grandma's car) '65 Mustang coupe (daughter's car) '65 Mustang fastback (other daughter's car) '66 Mustang fastback (son in law's car)'66 Mustang fastback. '66 7-Litre Galaxie, '93 Lincoln Mark VIII, 2002 T-Bird '88 Mustang GT (daughter's car) '87 GLHS

I didn't see these movies mentioned previously:

Indian Runner - '68 Shelby convt
Blow - 1967 Shelby
At the end of the remake of Gone In 60 Seconds there is '67 Shelby that is given to Nicholas Cages' character.

Are the Shelby numbers known for these vehicles, or where they are now?

Really good performance, but the only original member is the guitarist, Mick Jones. The original lead singer was Lou Gramm, this is Kelly Hansen who to his credit has been the lead singer since 2005. Just not the vocalist in the original recording of this song, but then, most bands from that (our) era don't have many original members left......
