Worthpoint, pricey, but probably worth it if buying and selling a lot.  I started my 5 minute subscription to check, then cancelled.   8).  Thanks!

There's a short video of John telling the story of the Von Dutch helmet, and other interesting stories about Steve McQueen.

Love the picture of Alan Mann throwing a skinny tired GT40 through a curve at the above link:

Mark, I think you're right, it is Alan Mann's.  It kinda matches the same poster and signatures found here.  At least for someone doing a gazillion signatures in one sitting.

Hi all!  Long time since I've posted on the SAAC forum.  In 1995 I drove down to Sears Point for a Cobra event, I forget the details.  While there I bought a poster and waited in line to have it signed.  Never did anything with it, but put it in an old picture frame to protect it, and shoved it in the rafters of my shop.

Anyway, I was thinking of giving it to my grandson, who's a big Shelby fan.  I'd like to at least tell him who signed it, but I forget who did. 
I see Carroll Shelby, Bob Bondurant, Jack Sears, and Bill Neale. 

Who are the other 3 signatures from?

Thanks, Ken

Bill, I've got a set of 4 original gray Magnums from my 66 GT-350 back when I owned one (6S524).  They've been sitting up in my rafters since the 80's.  Back then I had them powder coated, but wasn't satisfied with the color, too light, too much gloss.  Decided to run polished 7 x 15 Pantera wheels instead.  I posted some pictures of them here way back when I use to frequent this site, but looks like all my postings are long gone.   ???

You can paint chrome ones gray, but I think the seam on the gray rim was a bit more visible than on the "C" part number chrome version.

I'll drag them down and post pictures later.   They need to be stripped and repainted.
