Would have been cool to announce on 1/27/25, which would have been the 60th anniversary of the GT350 at Riverside on the same date in 1965. I guess announcing on a Monday wouldn't be as interesting ;) ;)

That's a valid point. It would not surprise me, however, that the date might be lost to them, fallen through the sands of time. Or they don't care.
The unveiling, like many new series Shelby vehile productions, are unveiled at BJ auction, sometimes for charity. Those are the dates that matter now. 8)

+1, from the SA perspective, it's free advertising, live TV coverage and a car enthusiast audience. Anything else would have been big $$ out of pocket for them and likely not have been as far reaching.

That is the most plausible explanation. Makes sense.
