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

He has MS and I was up there for a visit a few weeks ago and told him we were going to take him for a ride, he said he didn't have good bladder control and I told him not to worry he wouldn't be the first person to wet their pants in the car. It was a good visit. Every time I talked to him he always asked about the Shelby. Might even stop work today and take it for a ride. Life's too short to not take a ride when you have the chance

Get away from the computer,
Get out and drive.

Repeat until calm.

I'm driving mine to my cousins funeral on Friday, he said that's what he wanted, so I'm granting a dying mans last wish. And I'll drive fast because that's the only one he liked it

Thank you Steve. Let me know. I am going to try and fix it this weekend.
Can't find it in my tool box, but it might be down at Dave's barn, I'm going there Saturday. I'll check then

The "invitation" says to be there around 3:30 and we area planning on heading into the city a little after 3:00
Its been a few years since I traveled to Pittsburg, but I remember the streets being somewhat rough and the traffic somewhat congested, but hey I drive in the DC area so it cant be worse that that. What color is the 68?

Regional Shows and Events / 4th of July

Nothing is better than fireworks on the 4th. Again this year the local Mustang Club is in the National 4Th of July Parade in DC and once again I'll be taking my 66 GT350H down there, yea, it's hot, and yes the car will probably run hot towards the end of the parade, but the crowd seems to love the cars and it's great to celebrate the 4th in the Nations Capital (my home town  ???::)
Happy 4th everybody

That's one car that I would consider trading my '67 for...I would prefer a '70 though.  I love the chin spoiler, the hood stripes, and it's my birth year  ;)
"it's my birth year" I just felt arthritis kick in all over my body :'(
