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.
