cobrafan Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I'm wearing my Gray with White lettering S197 Owners T shirt today. For some that don't know, the S197 Owners club eventually morphed into TS. We were allowed to keep our S197 OA numbers when we joined Team Shelby. Just curious how many of the original group, I think there may have been a couple hundred that joined, may still may be around. I was recruited for S197 by Jeff Jenkins in Mustang OK at a MCA car show in May 2007. Jeff was and is a huge proponent of the GT500 and its tracking ability once the suspension gets motified, even back then. I think the first Griggs on a GT500? Just curious after four years how many are still on and active. TS 130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertlane Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I'll have to check, but I think there were 334 original members of the S197ShelbyOA.com. The original club's formation was proposed at a Ford Motor Company holiday party in Detroit. When you joined the club, you got to pick the color of your t-shirt: GT500 colors: white blue black red tungsten orange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car was originally Performance White with a Tunsten stripe. I had to settle for the reverse and get the Tunsten shirt with white lettering. It would be interesting to see how many of the original 334 are still active on the forum and how many have continued to renew with TS. Thanks for posting.
