Honoring In Person, America's Automotive Legend, Carroll Shelby! G. Potter King will honor Mr. Carroll Shelby on Saturday, February 22, 2003.

Mr. Shelby is America's foremost automotive giant-not to mention genius. His Cobra has attained worldwide status as one of the most sought after sports cars.

He personally is responsible for the G.T. 350 Shelby Mustang and its bigger brother the Shelby G.T. 500. An "R" model Shelby Mustang modified for races was also produced in 1965. Only about 25 were produced.

No muscle car from the 60s had an appeal and performance of the Shelby Cobra 427. Only 356 were produced, but they have endured for 25 years.

A special sale of a Shelby S.R.I. will be offered at "No Reserve"! The car is registered to Mr. Shelby and is registered as #1.

Agro,

Yeah...I agree. That's why we are going tomorrow. We go every year just for the day. Great vendors and some nice cars. Couldn't care less about Shelby.

Agro,

I wonder if I should bring my glove box for him to sign or just put a replica signature on it???

I copied his off a friends car and signed it on mine with a Sharpie - You can't tell it isn't REAL...

I'll be in the basement with my nomex suit on if ya need me....
