John Canfield Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I'm not usually one to follow closely the Dodge end of the Shelby world, not to say I don't appreciate it nor was I unaware of it when it was happening. One of my best friends has a Shelby Charger and I certainly knew what the 'S' stood for in GLHS. I was sent this piece by a friend and I thought I'd post it up for those who appreciate such things: http://cgi.ebay.com/AUTOWEEK-CARROLL-SHELB...bayphotohosting Enjoy.

shelbymotorsports Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Yup thats a poster of what we Dodge guys call "the Birthday Car" which appeared on the cover of AutoWeek magazine back in January 1988 for Carroll's 65th birthday. And that actual prototype Shelby Dodge car is owned by Team Shelby member JamesL and his wife Cindy. They are also a supporting vendor here on the TS forums. Look for the FWD-Performance banner.

Rick Mosley Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I saw a vendor on Amazon a while back offering poster sized magazine covers. For an additional fee they would frame the poster as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StokedShelbyOwner Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 IDK, but we bought three of them. Yeah, and every time that magazine article from Hot Cars Magazine comes up with that red 87 GLHS on Ebay, I am a sucker for the $9.99 BIN. How many of those things do I need anway? :P Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
