    Re: Thirty years

    Congratulations and welcome to the 30 year Owners Club.
    I bought 67402F7A01317 on June 3, 1977 and still own the car.
    Next February, it will be 20 years of ownership of SFM5S275.
    The years just go faster and faster, don't they?

    Re: Thirty years

    It's good to see so many people buying Shelby's and keeping them instead of just turning a dollar. I've had mine 25 years and my brother has had his 66 for 30 yrs.

    I think I bought mine 6S2251 about 1974, I'll have to check the title for an issue date. Lets see that would be about 33 years and counting. No plans for allowing it to leave my family.:thumbsup:

    Re: Thirty years

    I just looked at the bill of sale on my KR and Nov. will be 25 years for me. My wife is always amazed that I can remember how long I've owned each car and the build dates that go with them, and have to think to remember our anniversary. I'm sure that I'm not the only one! Ranger Jerry

    I have owned SFM5026 since 1979. The car was completed on February 8, 1965. I will never forget my wife's birthday, which is also February 8 (A little south of 1965, but we don't talk about that ;>).

    I got mine June of 1982, in my late teens. It seems so long ago.
