twobjshelbys Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Does cars and coffee draw as many cars in the hot summer months as it does the rest of the year? I don't know since I've only been going since April. Last Saturday was pretty crowded although the lot was not packed but some weekends there are other show events people are going to. Two weeks ago was fully loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY500SS Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 On the saga... Today was one of the defining moments. Peter Brock - the designer of the Daytona Coupe for Carroll Shelby - comes almost every Saturday morning. Also present was Gary Patterson with his Series 1. Oh the Story (followed by other stories)!!!! Tim from Shelby brought over some pictures of the early days. Peter told the rest of the story. I won't repeat it here except that it is in his book. Wow. Gary came over to look at my GT. Before we went to see Peter he reminded me that the general shape of the GT40 (and the FGT) was part of a "I got an idea" that was probably coincident in time but is present in the Daytona Coupe - the front intake with airflow that goes out of the front snout, over the hood, and thus over the windshield. The original reason was a front end deisgn, but the result was incredible down force. It's a cool time... Now that is flipping cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msr1011 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Is anyone going tomorrow? A friend of mine who bought my old Shelby and I will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'm probably going to go down for a while. Usually do 7-9 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msr1011 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I woke up this morning at 0630 hours and noticed there was heavy amounts of rain in the Henderson area. I'll try in two weeks. I'm taking the Shelby and a buddy is bringing his 13 Boss up to Bryce National Park next weekend. If you want to loan me your Ford GT, I'll be more than happy to buy the gas!

twobjshelbys Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 It was ominous looking but no rain. I even went over to SAI afterwards and did the tour and signed the wall. Lots of chatters about the GT... People were stopping by to look at the GT and didn't even know there were at Shelby ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Stiles Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I have meet 2 other GT500 owners in Pahrump. One bought his 2014 about 2 weeks after I bought my 2014. Trying to get all 3 of us to attend. Probably the 16th or 23rd. Do all Team Shelby member have a club shirt on so we know each other? Is there a pin or something I get for joining? Does the Team ever do tours or short rides, Death Valley, etc.? Yea I know, stupid newbie questions. Just talking and learning from you guys was worth the $50.

msr1011 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I don't think the Team has any organized tours, but a friend and I try to do at least one small road or weekend trip with our rides. Another friend with a 911 Twin Turbo and I went to Mt. Charleston two weeks ago for lunch and a cruise. This upcoming weekend a friend who has an 08 500 and 13 Boss are going to Bryce National Park for two days. We are planning on going to So Cal next month and attened Super Car Sunday on the weekend of Septmeber 06-07. The marque highlight for this event is Shelby, Cobra and Ford GT. If you want to come along, drop me a p.m.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to come along, drop me a p.m.. The news had a segment with some restaurant at the top of Charleston that got closed for last year's fire and were finally starting to get some business. However, I won't take my car on those flooded roads until everything is repaired and the debris cleaned off. I already went through this flood thing once and don't want to do it again.

msr1011 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 We went two weekends ago before the last storm. Roads were clear and it was about 65 degrees on the top of the mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be back in 2 weeks So you do know that a Coupe will set you back between 150K-200K for the Shelby. I think Peter has his own flavor but they are about the same price. When Pete mentioned South Africa it is the HiTech plant that is also the manufacturer of Superformance and the Shelby fiberglass cars. A Shelby CSX9000 series Coupe was in the hunt when I was looking for a Cobra replacement and Lance (HiTech owner and also from Hillbank their importer into the US) had an aluminum hand rolled in their shop car that he would have done with power train for 200K. That was 4 years ago so everything has gone up. It was good to see some of the area people! Since I'm less than two miles away I try to drop in whenever I can, sometimes not even with my car...
