Breaking Cobra News

[Bill Wells]

I must be missing somethng here regarding SAAC critiques...its kinda like their football and their rules, seems fair to me.

SAAC has been around for what, almost 30 years now..in one name or another, the original club was called something else i believe and started in a Detroit suburb and evolved into SAAC .

The Registry and the services of their various Registrars is invaluable in trying to keep tabs on the legitimate Shelbys' of all types that they follow. They are the central keeper of the flame ensuring it does not go out. They have kept many a person from buying a fake . If i owned a real authentic shelby of any type i would be glad to know that there is someone/some group keeping historical tabs on my car ...preserving the past for the future.

I have been a SAAC member for maybe 12 or more years and find them to be very supportive to any inquiries i have had when i have been on the GT 500 search or whatever. Their annual events are a blast (SAAC 29 this year at Mich International Speedway in July).

I guess i really dont care what cars they follow that have some kind of Shelby history or involvement. Not sure it is something that i personally would get hung up over ...but to each their own.

I suppose if ya want to complain, then dont join. or join and voice your complaint. but after all, it is their football and their rules...and i am sure the vast majority by a significant margin of their members are like me, they dont own a real original Shelby. the replica folks and clone folks help keep the flame alive too.

just my two cents worth...despite any personal feelings for or against CS, it is he that gave us and the world so many dreams to lust after or copy or be one of the lucky ones that own a piece of history from the 60s or whenever.

Peace, love and happiness. Bill.
