Is there a reason to join SCOF? The website seems so outdated. The pages are hard to read and navigate. Was it built during the Stone Age? I’m sure there’s a lot of great info, but if the info sucks as bad as the website design, I’ll pass.

Thanks!

Drop me an email to nostalgicmotoringreplicas@gmail.com and I will send you a PDF of the SPF manual.

The copyrighted manual? The one Mike Stenhouse and others worked to produce?

... and that sells for $105 on the https://www.secondstrike.com website? So much for the free exchange of information.

Have you ever had a copyrighted/trademarked item pirated? Have you ever had parts manufactured from tooling you paid for by a manufacturer who sold the parts out the back door?

I suppose you worked free at whatever it was that you do/did?

We b!tch about China stealing intellectual property, but apparently have no problem doing it domestically because we can.

Have I ever bought a new car (including my ERA) where they didn't throw in a free Owner's Manual? Especially if that new car is now approaching or surpassing six figures? Regardless of who wrote it, if you drop a hundred thou on an SPF somebody ought to give you a free manual and not try and stick you for another hundred. Are the margins that tight, and the dealers that much on a shoestring that they can't do that?

When sold new, SPF delivers a digital copy of the owners manual with the car. You can then take it to a print shop, where they can make you a beautiful hard copy, with a digital picture of your car on the first page of the binder.

Well that only seems fair. And if for some reason a subsequent purchaser does not get an Owner's Manual (maybe because the previous owner's widow lost it) then he should get a complimentary copy from the manufacturer. I'm really not sure why Mark IV is not saying "Patrick, you're absolutely right and we provide complimentary copies to SPF owners just as matter of good business."

Bill,

That is only true on the 289 series cars as Ross demanded manuals as part of his tooling licensing to SPF/Shelby. The MK III cars do NOT come with a manual so it must be purchased by either the selling dealer or the customer.
