1982?  If so, I was there with my KR...just bought it about three months earlier, and drove it up from L.A.

Maximum I could get out of a full tank on the highway was 90 miles. Did a cat-and-mouse type race with a Lambo on Highway 101 north of Paso Robles. He was very surprised I could keep up with him. 

Great times! And a great SAAC event.

In these pix, I can identify Tom McIntyre's 427 Cobra (#47, in lower left of top photo) and J. Bittle's red/white stripes GT500 with a 427...in bottom photos.  Others?

1981 , I drove my KR to Dearborn in 1980 ( SAAC 5 ) I think I managed about 150 miles to a tank . There was a discussion about antenna placement on 67 / 68s earlier , note the red 67 with antenna on RF fender in the pix .

Side-Oilers

Lincoln tech, right you are...it was the Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca in '82 that I drove my KR to. 

I went to the '81 SAAC event, but was a passenger in my pal's '65 GT350.
