Well that is a valid point Lovehamr, this has been a real wake up call for SAAC. Just what kind of 'club' is it? What kind of club will it be going into the future? Never the less, the work they have done over the years is an outstanding accomplishment, virtually unparalled within the automotive community as it concerns any other quality marque.

With the amount of effort put out over the years by SAAC I would have to conclude this was first and foremost a work of love and dedication to a marque. IF they in fact at some point have turned or are turning a significant profit, I don't have a problem with that.

Just like I still donate to Club Cobra without question as to how much Brent is or isn't making. I suspect he was working for 37 cents an hour (or less) for many years, if he's making a nice profit these days, good for him!

While I am not privy to SAAC's income/expenses I remain incredibly skeptical of the number's Shelby throws out in a feeble attempt to make it appear SAAC is 'making a bundle'. Does the current money make up for the years of hard work, foresight and planning that went into this HUGE endeavor before there was a profit? I hope so! The laborer is worthy of his hire.
