Well that is a valid point Lovehamr, this has been a real wake up call for SAAC. Just what kind of 'club' is it? What kind of club will it be going into the future? Never the less, the work they have done over the years is an outstanding accomplishment, virtually unparalled within the automotive community as it concerns any other quality marque.
With the amount of effort put out over the years by SAAC I would have to conclude this was first and foremost a work of love and dedication to a marque. IF they in fact at some point have turned or are turning a significant profit, I don't have a problem with that.
Just like I still donate to Club Cobra without question as to how much Brent is or isn't making. I suspect he was working for 37 cents an hour (or less) for many years, if he's making a nice profit these days, good for him!
While I am not privy to SAAC's income/expenses I remain incredibly skeptical of the number's Shelby throws out in a feeble attempt to make it appear SAAC is 'making a bundle'. Does the current money make up for the years of hard work, foresight and planning that went into this HUGE endeavor before there was a profit? I hope so! The laborer is worthy of his hire.

Does everyone else notice how Wally throws these firebombs out on this board and then seems to disappear and post no further replies?  Seems to me that besides being a "Professional Journalist" who also seems to be fact-checking imared, he is pssibly of the genus "Trollissaurus Vex"

A troll is a troll, just like his posts searching for information on all of the Shelby forums. Got to love the way he words them "I saw" or "I heard", or "back when I was at xxxx I thought I saw".....Really a shame he has others doing his research and homework for him, I can see why he believes so highly in Jerry H. Two cut from the same tattered cloth.

Wallace, or History Buff, you are a writer with a great deal of experience and a number of books about Shelby, Cobras, etc. to your credit. If you presented a one-sided viewpoint in any one of those efforts that completely failed to recognize some valid counterpoints, and in so doing you gave a highly questionable credit to one side, and an unjustified slam to the other, would you feel you had done an acceptable job at telling the complete story?
