SAAC Forum

LOL!

You seem have forgotten all these cars are of one make; Ford. The highest performing Fords. Yeah, if you are lucky, you will attract 3-4% of that 100,000 pool of modern performance Ford owners because you are correct, most of them don't care about 50 y/o cars.

You're absolutely right, you have very little to offer them...except heritage. The real point is what they have to offer to you. Namely youthful eagerness to get involved & learn about the history and the cars.

That is more likely to keep them on the road rather than being investment tools.

In closing; Get off my lawn!

McHose was damn talented.   

Order of what I want it to be.

1) Morrison's car
2) Edsel's car
3) Prototype Hertz
4) Lil' Red

My bet is the odds will favor a reverse order of that.

If a club isn't growing, it's dying.

You need an infusion of new blood to keep things healthy. Let's be frank, not a lot of young enthusiasts will be able to buy a 50 year old 6 figure pony car. But a lot of them are entering the fray with second ownership of the '07-'18 models. I suggest reaching out to this group is the easiest way to grow the club as a whole and improve the odds that the originals will be cared for by enthusiasts.

Probably help attendance too.

Worth noting, Rings won't seat on synthetic oil.

Interesting.

He has some beautiful stuff but might require selling it all and a new mortgage to bring this GT 40 home.

Coincidence?

Maybe it will be a Nightmist/parchment 2019 GT500 along side of the Morrison car?

Of course.  Shelby AmeRican

Now THAT was funny.   

That is the best looking 300SL I have ever seen.

Probably being unloaded in Russia or China as we speak.   

I am starting to think that if It is indeed Mr. MoJo Risen's car, we will see a national news release with Kevin Marti first.

...i would say the Chip Fooseball on the Looseball is running a very close 2nd place. With the Gas Flunky's in hot pursuit placing third....

Foose uses buckets of bondo and fake fur?

Yeah I don't like anything over 15" diameter wheels on 60's muscle, but when I saw his '65 Impala, the "Imposter", I will unabashedly refer to  Foose as the greatest American Custom car builder to date.

Period.

You should watch the video, it proves you actually can polish a turd.

That last picture in the first post reminds me of the old saying that Mustangs start on the assembly line as a heater core and eventually have a car built around them.   


Get that heater control box in before you do the rest of the drivetrain or your knuckles will hate you!

I am pretty sure I spoke to the author of the article.

Regardless, its just a couple of days....and the fun begins!

Are we there yet?

  Every drop in the strength/popularity of SAAC can be tied to a lawsuit. This convention was hurt by one as I understand it. Please correct me if I'm wrong

Interesting. I would be interested in hearing more.

Lawsuits stifle a lot of innovation and drive the cost of living up unnaturally.

What would the far right emblem come on? Just a non-Sears aftermarket retailer?
