Well, I have alot to learn as im starting from ground zero.
I got my start with automobiles while in highschool 1963-67. The mustang came out and i was hooked on it. Eventually I bought a Shelby in 1972 and have owned to date 65,66,68,69s w/ one convertible and a 289 cobra.
Though not an active member since abt 81,
i have belonged to the Shelby American Automobile club (SAAC)since about 1973 when it was called SOA ,as i recall. I attended national SAAC events when they were held in California only. At those, from about 1978-81 I won "Peoples Choice for my class at two of them w/ a 69 GT-350 4sp Convertible. I quit participation of any kind after 1980 until the recent national convention at Sanbernadino raceway in about 2005 . My Shelbys were put on non op in 81 and sat garaged until..well to date.
I sold off all but my 69 fb and conv.which i'll probably keep for a while longer.
I've never even sat in a vett until this year. I was impressed just how my recently purchased 88 cpe drove. I cant imagine how other models are to drive .
I know nothing about vetts and though ive been reading among 3 forums for vetts for a couple days now, I only now know what c1-c6 vetts refers to. Oh and c4s w/ digital dashes have lots of electrical issues. Ive got the blinking thing going on,even after re grounding of the battery.
I still like Shelbys,but I ve missed alot not getting into vetts sooner.
Are there any owners of vetts on this site that live in or around the Palm Springs Area? I would like to attend some events no matter how small if near palmSprings.

And by the way.... you DO know about the "WAVE" right??? 
They're great for getting up to speed on all Vette things and you will also meet a lot of new friends.
