The Shelby American: Index of Interviews

[silverton_ford]

My favorite part of the club publication, The Marque and The Shelby American, is the interview section.  The article where SAAC interviews someone that was either apart of Shelby history back in the 1960's or is a key important piece to our current history.   

With the winter months setting in where I live I have more time in the house than out in the shop, so I thought I would come up with an index of all of the interviews and post it here for you to refer to if you get time to browse through your collection of old club magazines.  The information is still very relevant and important today as it was when it was first published.  Some articles are not exactly interviews, but written by the person who was there and experienced their topic.  I hope you find this useful.

If I missed any articles, then please add them below in the comments.

Very cool Brian, thanks!

A compilation of all these interviews would be 'book worthy'... maybe something for SAAC to consider?

[rkm]

Hey Ron, Why can't SAAC collect all these interviews and post them in one place? I think there are even historical interviews with Ken Miles that could be included, like the one on "The Cobra Story" although you would need permission for that one. I really enjoyed the Rick Kopec and Drew Serb interviews in the annual.

Thank you for the compliments.  I think these interviews are very important for history and I have enjoyed reading them.  I hope you do to.   All very important people.

I just added Jim Inglese for the Winter 2023 Shelby American that just came out to the first post.

The information has already  been compiled, just needs to be reharvested and printed . Once printed it will become a best seller in the SAAC library
