Two points of clarification.

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 celebration and enjoyment certainly still exists...the point being made was that the current legal action has an underlying objective of usurping the data that has been collected solely by SAAC over the course of its existence. thus diluting the value and undermining a significant cornerstone of the club's activities.

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).
Not at all... that point was that the good old days are gone...people who now reproduce a logo'd part, for example, are subject to threat of legal action.
