CobraCrazy Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 I picked up my Shelby one year ago today! I've owned and loved a lot of cars (mostly Fords) but I can honestly say my Shelby has been more fun and has received more attention, by far, than any other. I celebrated by going down to The Shelby American Collection museum in Boulder, CO! CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I celebrated by going down to The Shelby American Collection museum in Boulder, CO!CC CC, I remember a year ago how we (CW, Elite, etc.) were all watching, waiting, agonizing over, and anticipating the arrival of our cars. Our build dates were all very close. I used the pictures you took of your car to help me through the last few days. We didn’t know for sure when our cars would get loaded onto the carriers. Lots of news about plant problems, production holds all making the wait that much more agonizing. Talking to Ralph on the phone helped. This forum and you guys in it helped make the wait bearable. We all made it. I love my car too. It’s the best car I have ever owned. Her Birthday is coming up November 10th. My wife and I drove her home over 900 miles that day. Take care . . .

Then, when I was four hours from home on Thanksgiving day, I received a personal call from the owner of the dealership. I actually left the wife and kids on Thanksgiving day and she completely understood. HSURB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supercompdad Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I picked up my Shelby one year ago today! I've owned and loved a lot of cars (mostly Fords) but I can honestly say my Shelby has been more fun and has received more attention, by far, than any other. I celebrated by going down to The Shelby American Collection museum in Boulder, CO!CC Our baby's birthday was Nov 4th. We were at the SEMA show in Vegas last year during the first week of November and had gone to Shelby Automobiles Inc to take our kids on the tour of his operation and my wife got the call on her cell phone during the tour that it was being unloaded. We drove straight from the airport when we landed to the dealer. They hadn't finished the PDI yet so we had to go back a couple days later to pick it up. We also celebrated by going to the Shelby museum in Boulder last November for their annual Gala and got to meet Carroll Shelby as he was there for the 40th anniversary celebration. Had him sign some parts for us for a small donation to his childrens foundation. This year was our 25th wedding anniversary and technically the car was my wifes present to herself and we celebrated by going to the Rocky Mountain Mustang Roundup in Steamboat, CO as it fell on our anniversary. Have had a ball with the car this first year and it is now put away till next year as we are already getting some big snows. Can't wait till spring!
