Default Re: Carroll Shelby Licensing Response

SAAC has been a superb guardian/custodian of these records that have clearly made Shelby cars a safe collectible with a very organized history. Thay have always been willing to share any and all documentation with people owning or contemplating purchases. They do this for little or no money and the published registries are readily available for a fair price. It's very clear to me that somebody has got Shelby's ear that this info could now be a perpetual source of income and WE can make some $$$$. Shelby was a very dedicated supporter of SAAC and was outspoken in his appreciation of their work to maintain his cars history. Shelby and I spent some memorable one on one time on a Carribean cruise with our wives about 15 years ago and discussed briefly how great it was that SAAC had his cars so clearly documented unlike so many other collectible cars. I do have photos but unfortunately no audio. This whole mess makes me both sick and irritated. I for one hope Shelby comes to his senses and settles this amicably with SAAC so they can continue their good work in keeping these great cars history alive and available.
