Mine will never be a "99 point" car as long as I own it , but I still know what one should look like /have.
That was more of an observation Randy, I appreciate your knowledge but this was direct more at the forum - IMO it’s really a nasty place full of what appear to be envious people looking to S#!t on everything. Most have nothing to show but opinions.
When real questionable cars come up, if said car is owned or approved/inspected by the in crowd then even re-stamped numbers are ignored on this forum.
I am glad the registry has no relationship with this forum, if they did they would loose credibility.
I think SAAC should consider calling this forum something other then a SAAC forum, this would avoid any confusion that there may be a connection between the registry and this mess.
You are way off base and if you feel this way why are you even a member of this forum. You obviously got your feelings hurt by one of the experts and you keep grinding your axe. Lay it down and if you have something positive to contribute then do so.
Not true at all, look through every post I made or respond to, it’s an open book. I just think you (and those like you) have nothing to show us but your opinion. You can see what I own, what do you own ?
As I said, be positive. I don't know why you care or it even matters but for information, I own a 65 GT350, 66 GT350 and a 70 GT500.
Great, now please share what number cars you own and some photos so we can see your proper restoration in comparison. If you actually own these cars and they are correctly restored I will gladly eat my words. I found that most on the shelby forum lie and currently don’t own a Shelby.
It's funny how you think that owning a Shelby is an entry card to enter or speak in some mysterious world or it makes a person special, sir it doesn't. Like me, you have been blessed to be a caretaker of the brand, it will outlive you and someone else will carry it on.
BTW.... in the background is a 66 Rcode Fairlane (1 of 57 factory ford drag cars). Not in the picture is Phil Bonners 64 LW Rcode Galaxie 1 or 25 HiRiser 4speed cars and 63 1/2 rode Galaxie. I don't have pictures of the 66 on my computer but call Howard if you need assurance he can verify.
The 65 is number 109 original paint, drivetrain, unrestored car. The 66 is 1078 undergoing restoration the original engine has been restored and was submitted to this site for their review and critique (of which I was not offended but glad to have the comments). The 70 is previous bronze winner at a SAAC meet a number of years ago is number is 483281 (SCJ, drag pack, 4speed).
One question, how old are you?
