JeffJ Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Cool e-mail that I just received from Mustang Monthly: MUSTANG MONTHLY is pleased to present a special SHELBY issue featuring Carroll Shelby, the creator of the Shelby Cobra Mustang and the Dodge Viper. For nearly 50 years, Carroll Shelby has built some of the world’s most exciting performance cars, starting with the original GT350s and Cobras. The Shelby legacy continues today with a line of new performance vehicles from Shelby Automobiles. Our tribute issue links the Shelby history from 1962 to today, plus it honors Carroll as the only man to have ever won LeMans as a driver, team owner, and manufacturer. With never-before-seen photographs from the Shelby archives, our special issue for 2009 covers Shelby’s multi-faceted career, from his early days as a driver to today’s exciting GT500s, Super Snakes, and CSX series Cobras. This high quality, over-sized compilation is sure to become a collector’s item. So, as Carroll Shelby says: “Get your Shelby out and drive it!” EDIT: Title Edited November 2, 2009 by shelbymotorsports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJ Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Just went to WalMart for lunch and it's already there. Actually, it's just the 2009 Shelby Annual Magazine, not specifically Mustang Monthly. So I'm sure it's the same one that you'll be getting with your membership, or you can get it now on newstands. I went ahead and got it so that I can start reading it. Title of this post should be 2009 Annual Shelby Magazine on shelves now.

I went ahead and got it so that I can start reading it. I work for a Checker/O'Reilly's store and we got them last week. We only got 3 issues and with our magazine shipments there won't be any more for our store. I picked up 2 just incase I didn't get one with the membership. Look around as they could be anywhere.

Torch40 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Isn't this the kind of thing "Team Shelby" members should get first? Edited November 2, 2009 by Torch40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbymotorsports Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Just to be clear this is the Shelby Annual magazine. It is produced by the people who do Mustang Monthly but MM subscribers to not get this issue as part of their subscription. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJ Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Steve, if you can change the title of this thread, that would be good. The way the e-mail sounded from MM, made you think that this was a MM issue. When I got it, I saw that this was the annual Shelby Magazine, just brought to you by the same people as MM.

shelbymotorsports Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I agree.... Sharon I'm sure can answer this better but mainly it's a timing problem. The Shelby Annual magazine comes out before the Team Shelby Membership kits so for us to get the magazine first would mean the Sharon would have to ship two packages to every TS member. One package now with the magazine and then another package with everything else when its ready. I don't mind buying the magazine now. That way I can wear that copy out reading it over and over so that by the time I get my second TS copy I can keep that one in pristine collectible condition.

JeffJ Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I agree Steve. I get one that I can read and wear out, and keep one nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJ Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I just read many of the articles on Carroll Shelby's race stories and history in there from the 50's and 60's on my plane ride from Denver to Dallas. I have to say that there are MANY must reads in this years magazine. Very well done!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharon Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 The Magazine comes with each Team Shelby Membership. If you are a new member you will get the Magazine with the membership and if you are renewing your membership you will also get the Magazine. We do not send them out when they come in. All members new or old will get the Magazine no matter when in the year they renew. We are about release our new memberkit to all members this week so that you can see what new stuff is offered.

GTH391 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Okay, I went to WalMart last night and picked up two for myself. They have another 5 or so (depending on how many people buy what's left). PM me and I'll get whatever I can for you. All I ask is that you pay for the mag and shipping and I'll get it to you. First come, first served. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyEra08 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I had to go to 2 places to find one, I thought Target would have them, but nope. Then went to a walmart, they had like 6-7 left, I had to find the better shape one, some of them had the binding falling apart. But the one i find is the best looking shape, just a small nick on the bottom of the magazine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyEra08 Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) i am threw the 1st 20 pages, noticed there was a couple of errors, one was a spelling error, and a couple of places called Robert Lane: Roger Lane but excellent read so far Edited November 6, 2009 by ShelbyEra08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local wal-mart does not have them yet. Hopefully mid November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
