Where was this? Who's shop? I saw the red hone machine. Sunnen? We had more than 20 of those out at the AF base plus a dozen Lista cabinets full of misc to go with them.

Who is RC? Is it a business?
-
Richard Clark
-
Oh is that the guy who lives close to one of our members. Tools around in his GNX?
-
Not sure. Richard ClarK is the ZDDP dude.
-
OK. Thanks Ed.
-
so how was it...I need to know...if I have time to cancel the BPG event before we blow 40K lol.... I will say Richards shop is very organized....a nd heard that was one of the best parts of the event...not much being posted on TB.com
-
Richard's shop was definitely the highlight and made the trip worthwhile.
Evenings at the hotel(nice) were fun, much beer consumed. :atbeer:
Racing does not compare to BPG. BPG tailgate antics are without equal. :atbeer: :atbeer: :atbeer:

Didn't look like many at the track ?? Ya have to give an attaboy to Shane trying to get this off the ground. I won FREE tickets but couldn't make it :icon_redface:

You would be surprised how organized RC is.
He knows where almost everything is.
He has 11 trailers out back full of parts and he
Knows where every part he stored is located.
He has some incredibly rare parts on those shelves
I'd love to see in the missle plant.
Thanks for posting the pics Dave.

Now that is sarcasm....I like my method of storing crap in boxes and file cabinets that are not labeled so I can open everything up to find that part I am looking for...only to find out it was on my work bench all along... :rofl:
-
Looks like a fun time. Thanks for the pics!

ya 1 of 4.. Last Shelby made in 66 #2378.. It was Shelby's wifes car. Cali car with 25k on it.. I drove it for one summer.. Bought it in 1974 or 75. Bought the 427 Cobra in 1976. Matter of fact it was 36 years ago today that I bought it. Day before Melissa was born . Damm years fly by !! I was a punk ass kid then !! Now just an old buzzard :rock:
-
That thing must be worth a chunk of change. :O
-
That thing must be worth a chunk of change. :O
a big chunk of change...the story as I have read it is carol built one for himself and it was sold...so in 1980 he did 6 conversions and kept one for himself...mayb e Dan should contact Carol and see if he wants to buy it back

Holy shit. That may be the most collectible of the initial 4.
So you own Shelby's personal favorite that he was going to give his wife, but it got sold while he was out of the country?
Wise investment, Grumpy!
-
Just got more collectible..
http://www.tmz.com/2012/05/11/carroll-shelby-dead/ (http://www.tmz.com/2012/05/11/carroll-shelby-dead/)
A rep for Shelby's company Carroll Shelby International says Shelby died today at a Dallas hospital. He had received a heart transplant in 1990 and a kidney transplant in 1996.

whats creepy is that I bought my 427 Cobra yesterday 36 years ago !!! Ya the car is rare. Don't think his death will do much but who knows. Ferrari's went crazy when Enzo died BUT tanked a while later. :atbeer:

Well to me the Blue and Green ones are worth the most being that they are the original cars.. Blue is usually the color Shelby guys wanted. I missed buying the green car by 2 weeks way back in the "day".. My car was Shelby's wife "driver". (have conformation from Shelby) . It was sold when he was out of the country. Car has been stashed away since 1974 or 75!! Drove it for one summer. Cali car with 25k on it. Buick guys have scene it with pics of our Buick fleet. :cool;
-
post a picture...i am just glad to say i know someone who owns a piece of History...even though it was for 5 mins after you got kicked out of Cecil for going to fast...lol

Not much of the original body left in the red car. It had a rough life outside rotting away.
