Wow indeed!! At first glance, I thought Arlie was just playing around with Photoshop... ;-)

...Well the key lies in not damaging your investments coupled with the fact it's a good time to buy. "Guilt" and all that other stuff depends on your individual personality & can be pretty normal... I personally rationalize it by knowing in advance that all my cars really belong to God & that...

...Read the sequential numbers on the negs Arlie. If they're right - you're right... Here's some more that would explain why I'm partially deaf (aside from age) these days. While some of you stood alongside drag strips - I opted for airport runways. 'Same thrill of 2000 to 4000 un-corked...

...Indeed Joe! Finding more "negatives and slides" (of the 35mm kind;-) Rob, did you find one of those scanners?

...Now Joe, don't be goin' "negative" on us with your "slide" comments! Here's some of my friend, Calvin's (red) '69 S-code and my Sis's (white) M-code Mach...

Hey Robert, Great to see you here again! Mine would do that - get wet again, swell, then seal itself... Go start it right now and see if it's still leaking before you take it apart. The connecting tube o-ring was usually the culprit (making it look like everything was leaking...)

Rob, Regarding the debut, the text on that page reads "...as sales to dealers exceeded 1000 GT/CS cars .... One Thousand cars is all Lee Gray and his staff had on hand at the time and probably could have sold many more than that"... So does that mean 1000 cars were already complete by Feb 15...

...Concrete boat.... That's too cool! Now all we need is the lead balloon ;-)

...Also a couple more GT/CSs seen locally in the mid-'80's. I have no idea who owns them today... Perhaps some site members?

...Oh yeah! ...and talk about a rude-ass wake up call from the mouth of that tunnel when your nursing a seven-magnitude hangover!! ....at times compounded by the fact that we were camped (cramped) between two tracks! The "inside tunnel" image below was actually a picture taken from inside...

...Yes, and some early days at the Reno pylons, not to mention the very camping trip where you learned of the Special ;-)

...By all means Mike! I know I still have have early day photos of the car, but haven't re-discovered them yet. I did find some of you tho! Good ole days, they were :-)

Rob, I went to Best Buy and got an ION FILM 2 SD 35mm film & slide scanner. The nice thing about this one is you load negs, view and scan in the unit which loads it's own chip to put on your computer. Priced around $130.00... Avoid the "sale priced" ones that plug into your computer as some...

Well, it's encouraging if nothing else. I wonder now if we're going to see anther run of $20K fixer-uppers take residence on Ebay & craigslist..... P.S. 'Just read that it was a cloned convertible? 'Wonder if the buyer knows that...

Rob, Be my guest to do as you wish with these. I'm not a member of SAAC, so by all means... In fact - please use this thread to post your "oldies" as well :-) P.S. Rob - indeed, got to hear those Blackbirds all the time! :-)

Paul, Thanks. I was thinking along the same lines, but wasn't sure if it was a real Shelby or kit. It has a "famous" look to it however, so I wondered if someone here recognized it. Cory, Perhaps eventually a "Blurb", but I still have many items to go through. I had forgotten what a shutter...

...Who can tell me what this Cobra is all about? I saw this at an airshow in Truckee, CA during the early-1980's... P.S. 'Spent a lot of time around SR-71 Backbirds as well :-)

...We also had a '66 six-banger during the '80's and my sister visited with her white '69 Mach she had for about a year. I would always shoot Specials on the go when I could. The green one was in Roseville, CA around 1986 and the Maroon one on the freeway near Sacramento around 1989. I later...

...The yellow Mach became my family workhorse. I drove it everywhere and in all weather for over 15 years!

....sorting through 30 years and thousands of negatives & slides. Along with hundreds of family, railroad and air race pics, I'm finding some interesting car history as well. 'Just thought I'd share a few with you :-) Here's my driveway in 1979. I bought the middle '69 (302) fastback in...
