Well...

Received the latest SAAC newsletter this a.m. Issue #112 - they certainly aren't holding back on their position in the two sections titled The Two Carroll Shelbys and You Do Have A Dog In This Hunt.

Just my opinion, but after reading this, one would get the impression that the sole reason SAAC currently exists and is fighting Shelby is to protect the current/future market value of the cars - when I joined I thought it was a group of like minded people who wanted to celebrate and enjoy the cars.

The last paragraph somewhat shoots a hole in the argument for protecting the integrity of the database by criticising enthusiasts who make knock-off replica parts for the original cars (parts made without licensing approval). Under this argument, would a 66 GT-350 with an original intake manifold be worth more than one with a Chinese knock-off?
