Hi Listers, having noted some varying opinions about Ole Carroll, yes he
sure new how to make money, few did in the fifties and sixties.. They used to
say the way to a small forture in racing was to start with a big one..But now
with Nascar I guess that's not all true..anyway, I used to have an early
GT350 in the 70's when the shelby club first started, most members were do it
yourselfers and the car were very personalized, if you went to a show you
didn't see 50 cars all alike, and you did not need tobe a millionaire to
partake in club activeties, having recently bought my third Tiger I rejoined
the club at a great price and then noted they did away with the news letter
and magizine, and the price to attend the last nation meet was to much for
me, I did not renew my membership, enough said...but the reason for this
note was to mention an exibit at the Saratoga Auto Museum in NY, that
featured Shelby, the Ford Connection, this was written up in Autoweek, jan
31, 2005...Tiger's were given mention and my car when owned by George Izett
was on display..So I guess we can all decide as has been mentioned
before...but I must say the Tiger group seems to be much more connected to
their cars than the newer Cobra/Shelby owners who are all about value,
investment etc. I hope the value holds, Clyde MK1A
