swbstudios Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Our '86 GLHS recently completed the 2010 Mopower tour from socal to Scottsdale to Vegas. During the high speed runs across the desert/canyons it performed well as usual and made believers out of folks that had no idea what it was. It was entered in the car show in the sport compact class. It was covered in bugs(from numerous 130mph blasts) and other assorted road grime as we just pulled it onto the show area with no clean-up after the run. It was the only Shelby in the class and received strange looks from the rest. A few weeks after the show we received a first place award/plaque.

swbstudios Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Congrats!! Very cool! Thanks! That is great! Congratulations! 24 years later and GLHS' are still racking up wins! That sounds like it was a blast.. I would love to carve up the desert in my Charger Yup, set FTD at a recent autocross, too. Even beat a poorly driven new Lotus! Congrats! How did the TU radiator serve you during this trip? Actually , the TU radiator is on my far more radical green GLHS. It worked very well and essentially solved some cooling issues we'd had. You made believers out of us at Terlingua 2008!!!! We Love the mighty GLHS!!! Hey, how are you guys! Sorry I couldn't try and scare you in the GLHS at 'Vegas, as I was feeling pretty under the weather and was in the hotel room most of the week-end.

swbstudios Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Man, this board doesn't see much action! The mighty GLHS just completed a Porsche club track day. Stuck in the top two groups(I'm a driving instructor), the S car surprised yet another group of folks that had no idea what it was. Still one of the quickest cars through the tight sections. Amazing how easy it is to "drift" a FWD car. Even more amazing when you consider that it is still running with the engine built way back in 1986!

glhs0075 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Very nice, well written ad, SWB. It would be very tempting to place a bid if I didn't already have too many non-car related projects already on the go. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
