All this talk about the future of SAAC gives me a lot to ponder, yes the club has grown and the cars have exponentially had increases in value. I've seen restorations that cost more than I made in my last years of full time work, I've seen the "auction fever" take over common sense in some cases and cause less and less cars to be driven as they are now "too valuable" . But let's remember back to the beginning, those days when everything was a new discovery and when everyone got together it was all about the love of the cars. Those who took the reins in the beginning and collected the information and most importantly shared it all. It's almost 50 years since the "classic " Shelby rolled off the line. Supposed that it ended there, then maybe we would relegated to the likes of Motion Chevrolets or Yenko Camaro's, great cars, legendary performance, but not enough to go around and they didn't have something like SAAC to keep it going. So I salute all of those who went before, welcome those who are just coming on board, and I look forward to future is at this time, completlety unknown, but full of promise and hope. So I suggest that it you have a car, drive it, show it, collect it, but please for the sake of all things Shelby share it.
Worked up an appetite and a sweat, going to lather on some PitStop deodorant and make a mess of Shelby's best Chili
Good luck to all
