Saac 32 - 2007

Been gone for a little while....... how come no thread on SAAC this year? Or did I miss it

Will post a few pictures of my finds tomorrow if no one minds

 

Re: Saac 2007

I really don't take "pretty" pictures at these things. More of focus on details of original cars and mistakes found on "restored" cars. Of the original cars I found

6S2371, 67410F4U00803, 67410F4U00808, 9F02M48355?, 0F02G151663

In attendance and took about 500 pictures of these and others. Here is a general of 67410F4U00808



An interesting car. It is still owned (as 67410F4U00803 is) by the original owner. Well really second since it was owned as a company car (read transportation) by Shelby for the first year or so. In fact it still has the parking sticker on the windshield



Another oddity on the car is the fact that the passenger side was stamped with the incorrect interior color ... and yes Shelby employes took the time to correct the mistake



Another oddity (somewhat) is that 803 and 808 both had the light interior and both had the trap door hinges painted the interior color not like many other cars. Still looking to figure out when the change was made





Here is a shot of 0F02G151663 a local car - original paint, interior and eng compartment

And while I'm posting pictures I visited an open house last week in Calif north of SF of a private collection. Collection totals about 50 cars. From what I saw (of Shelbys six -67, four-68, four-69/70 as well as a couple Boss's and three -five new Shelbys. Add a couple K codes, one 68 1/2 CJ and big blocks. All one owner and one of the larger one owner collections I've seen








Just thought I would share Enjoy

 

Front spoilers were not something Shelby America sold. Fiberglass spoilers was more of a mid to late 70s thing

Owner of that car was an engineer .... reason for some of the modifications done under the hood. Never got a chance to talk to him (daughter showed us the car) Wondered what all the electronic ignition controllers were for. Must have been 3 or 4 of them mounted around the engine compartment and grill opening

 

No markers are from a 69 added by the current/original owner. A popular (updated the car) modification during the early 70's

Still trying to figure out which ones were interior color and which were semi-gloss black and when they all changed (all interior colors) to black. Likely to save cost and effort. Thanks for the info

 

No problem... could have made a mistake with all the emails and posts that take place daily... lets see

67410F2U00808 so yes I transcribed it incorrectly... THANKS a ton for catching it




67410F4U00803




You did bring up another point (over looked it as I simply was processing the pictures I took. :0 Forest for the trees


Take a look as some additional pictures of 67410F4U00803 the car that Shelby Inc kept as a driver/company car and screwed up when they stamped the interior color. Wonder how this happened ?????

VIN tag



Rear end



Engine code identifier (as we discussed in the other thread) and the "D"


BAM!! Notice anything????



Not the first time we've seen this swap - especially during the 80's gas shortage period. Just wonder (if any of us had noticed we would have) what the dates are on the engine. Did Shelby swap it out (someone blow up the engine while they had it) or did this original owner??

While we are sharing 67410F4U00803 had one of those odd two piece front ends though 808 didn't. Nice flange to fit the two pieces together on the back side, though I could not get a clear shot of it for a picture

 

Thanks Tim for picking up on that and asking.... the rest of us had focused on the unusual way Shelby had correct the interior color
