RE: "Shelby Sacks SAAC"
in response to d_ford... SAAC has merged with the Ford SVT, actually taking over control of that club from Ford. They announced it at the convention in Utah. Lot's of SVT people there...so I would say yes..SAAC is recognizing the new generation of Ford and Shelby mustangs

RE: "Shelby Sacks SAAC"
I'm not so sure that he walked away from Ford, or it was the other way around. Their was a 429 "SHELBY" intake cast for what I was told a run of 71 Shelby's that never happened. Also, it was the time of OPEC(Ole PEckerheaded Camel drivers) and theclose of the muscle car era. Anyway, I wish the best of luck to both, and maybe someday they will all kiss and make up.

RE: "Shelby Sacks SAAC"
Shelby was fed up dealing with Ford and was unhappy with the direction the Mustang was taking. Ford would have produced a 1971 Shelby but he asked for to stop production in 1969. That's when he started the chili business.
