There will be a full membership packet as well as two separate members cards in the Atzbach sale...very rare stuff!

Kind regards,

The original owner of my 65 graciously gave me his packet. I think the decal ended up on the car.

Paul,
 Now that is Cool !!

I like the letter from Shelby himself and the prices.  Wouldn't it be awesome to have a lighter, t-shirt, etc and especially a driving suit today?

This thread wouldn't be complete without a vintage ad.

This is from my copy of the May 1967 issue of Road & Track.

The whole Terlingua thing was a CS & Bill Neale toy and he was always based in Dallas. He may have had offices there.
