I don't really like them, I have a set of 15x8 200S Americans that I am going to put on it for the next set of tires. That will get us closer to the 17x9-10's that the local fast cars in ESP are using these days. But when we run the Shelby they all stop and watch!!! I never have to take pictures, there are always photos and videos of it that show up online somewhere. I have won once this year, but usually finish 3-4th out of about 10 cars typically. Lee you might be interested in the fact that the fast car in the class right now is Jim Ewing in an Infinity G35. >> From: Calvin Sanders <calvins (AT) highrpm (DOT) net> >> Date: 2006/09/29 Fri PM 04:56:44 EDT >> To: Shelby Mustang <ShelbyMustang (AT) thecarsource (DOT) com> >> CC: taylordw (AT) nnsy (DOT) navy.mil, Regina Sanders <regina (AT) highrpm (DOT) net>, >> shelby (AT) highrpm (DOT) net, Southeastern Virginia SAAC <dnftaylor (AT) att (DOT) net>, >> Grossen Stephen H DLVA <GrossenSH (AT) NSWC (DOT) NAVY.MIL>, >> RAD65FB (AT) cox (DOT) net, rmodel15 (AT) aol (DOT) com, williammsaddler (AT) cox (DOT) net >> Subject: [Shelbymustang] (no subject) >> >> TheCarSource.com Shelby Mustang List >> ------------------------------------ >> >> Really good pictures of the old car: >> >> http://www.greatdances.net/daves/travel/autocross/slides/IMG_1600.JPG >> http://www.greatdances.net/daves/travel/autocross/slides/IMG_1605.JPG >> http://www.greatdances.net/daves/travel/autocross/slides/IMG_1606.JPG >> >> at last weekend's autocross. >> >> Calvin >> http://www.racecarstuff.com <<--my blog >> >> _______________________________________________ >> ShelbyMustang mailing list >> Send email to ShelbyMustang (AT) thecarsource (DOT) com >> Membership Administration http://thecarsource.com/mailman/listinfo/shelbymustang_thecarsource.com >> Group Web Page http://www.thecarsource.com/shelbymustang >> > > Calvin http://hamptonroadsrotaryclub.com/ <<--our local club http://www.racecarstuff.com <<--my blog http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZcalvin767 <<--my ebay stuff _______________________________________________ ShelbyMustang mailing list Send email to ShelbyMustang (AT) thecarsource (DOT) com Membership Administration http://thecarsource.com/mailman/listinfo/shelbymustang_thecarsource.com Group Web Page http://www.thecarsource.com/shelbymustang

Yeah, I only caught 3 in the picture. The Sunday afternoon sessions were very "underpopulated" as most people were packing and heading for home (had something to do with the heat and humidity). SAAC tends to lax the rules a little on the last sessions I have found, so a "race" with the 4 of them was probable. There are stories like these appearing everywhere.

Re: [Shelbymustang] Great Shelby Hertz story in C&D ( & 1 for saletoo!) TheCarSource.com Shelby Mustang List ------------------------------------ That was the first thing I noticed as well.

I wonder how this seller bought the car from Hertz before it was put into service? I'd love to know the details.

Re: [Shelbymustang] Great Shelby Hertz story in C&D ( & 1 for saletoo!) TheCarSource.com Shelby Mustang List ------------------------------------ I would assume if that was the case this seller could not legally sell the car if he did not already get Hertz to cave. He would need the title in hand ( in his name). With such a high vin, it doesn't make sense. I thought the "rent it until I own it" was silly, but I just sold my 2005 Lotus Elise and figured out it cost me $25.00 a day to own it for 2 years. Or, even more sad, about $5.85 per mile. Yikes!

Re: [Shelbymustang] Great Shelby Hertz story in C&D ( & 1 for saletoo!) TheCarSource.com Shelby Mustang List ------------------------------------ I was wondering that myself. How did he get Hertz to sell him the car? Remember the '66 Hertz GT350H cars were actually owned by Ford and "leased" to Hertz. When the leases were up the cars all came back to Ford who told Shelby to get rid of them. So who did he buy it from? I also wonder why "Ford" or whomever would sell the car to allow it to resold on EBay.

[Shelbymustang] Calvin, on your 68 GT350 Convert TheCarSource.com Shelby Mustang List ------------------------------------ Are you running the stock power steering front end? Any mods to the suspension? How about the motor, stock? I like to autocross but never did it with my 68 GT350 fastback.

We have the complete power system from the car sitting that could go back on the car. We did autocross it with power at one time, but did the usualy conversion somewhere along the line. We have replaced the steering box as the old one was tired at one point. This car has been autocrossed since Lee Mathias bought it back about '72 or so. So it has gone through a few changes, nothing drastic. We have a 289 Hipo in the car now, but we are working on a relacement engine to use in the car for now that is not old vintage iron, so that if something happens it will be with more commonly available parts. On the suspension we have different front springs, relocated upper A-arms (Lee did this when he had it), an addco rear sway bar, Kumho V700 Victoracer tires, and that is about it. The rims are 15x7". Most of these mods were made back in the 70's, it really hasn't changed much in the last 30 years.

Re: [Shelbymustang] Great Shelby Hertz story in C&D ( & 1 for saletoo!) TheCarSource.com Shelby Mustang List ------------------------------------ Dennis wrote: How did he get Hertz to sell him the car? Remember the '66 Hertz GT350H cars were actually owned by Ford and "leased" to Hertz. When the leases were up the cars all came back to Ford who told Shelby to get rid of them. So who did he buy it from? I also wonder why "Ford" or whomever would sell the car to allow it to resold on EBay. >>>Just FWIW, the 2006 cars were purchased outright from Ford/Shelby by Hertz, so they are disposing of them more or less the same way they dispose of any of their rental cars, at about 14000-16000 miles. Most will be sold to local Ford dealers for resale, but some individuals have approached Hertz wanting to buy one direct (to the point of pestering them about it), so they have indicated that they will pursue that option as well.

[Shelbymustang] Shelby's, License Plate Frames,Breast Cancer & Susan G. Komen TheCarSource.com Shelby Mustang List ------------------------------------ To All, I wouldn't normally do this, but there is a tie to a car on this list, mine! I'm trying to raise some money for Breast Cancer research as a family member is fighting this. I had a bunch of these plates made and am trying to learn how to use E-Bay to promote it. Maybe some old gearhead types might be interested for their wives, daughters, mothers, friends ... I'm such an E-Bay novice that I can only provide "1" item at a time until I generate some sales or so E-Bay says. I feel pretty stupid about this, how is it that I can possibly be working on the next space vehicle that will go to the moon (Orion) and E-Bay selling is giving me fits (lol).
