Not to fully support Carroll; BUT I still get the warm and fuzzys when I think of a Shelby Cobra. Goes all the way back to when I was at the Sebring 12 Hours in 1965 when I happened into the Shelby pits; and stayed for 12 hours. Very hard to forget a dream that started 48 years ago and continues.

So I ask a question: What would you be driving right now if Carroll had not put his hand on AC in 1962 or so; Cheeta, Chaparral, AC (probably not), etc?

As long as the MAN's alive I've got to stay with him. I hope; ultimately SAAC and Shelby can work something out; certainly there has been room for both.

I think I will now go into my garage an look at my 'replica'. I also have some regrets selling my GT-350 for $1500 back in 1972, also. Walt
