Thought this was included with the original post

For the second year now Conejo Valley Cars and Coffee show will be featuring Shelby. Last year was a very good turnout with about 14 or so vintage Shelby American / Automotive products.

Of course there was a lot of newer Shelby stuff as well but the emphasis is on the vintage cars.

Yes I know LASAAC has their meeting that day and next year I will ask the organizer to give me more heads up to avoid any conflicts.

The show is at the Oaks Mall by the Firestone tire center starting at 7 and going till 10 or so. Hope to see some of you there.

I like Greeks idea.  Buy it and use it as a static display until you figure out what you want you do with it.  I would jump at the opportunity to get the original block back.

Thank you for posting. Are you going to be there by any chance?  If so shoot me a text please.

[If a company that isn't a licensed car dealership]

Found this - Why are extended car warranties not available in California?
VSCs are sold throughout the U.S., but in California, companies must have a special license and operate in accordance with certain regulations to sell them. If a company that isn't a licensed car dealership attempts to sell VSCs to consumers, they could face felony charges.Jun 4, 2024

The way that reads you could buy the Ford extended warranty from ANY Ford dealer. Of course your stealership will say you have to buy from them so they make the commission. That brings up another item most of the dealers have the finance guy pitch the warranty and they try to get the most $$ out of you since they boost their pay with the commission on the sale. That CA law also smacks of the free trade laws across state lines guaranteed by the Constitution and like a lot of CA BS wouldn't standup if someone wanted to spend the money taking them to court.

What you said pretty much lines up with what the salesmen just told me from the Ford dealer in Stockton. He said not to quote him but he mentioned special licenses and said it was generally a PITA to do business in Ca (never heard that before!).

I did go on the Granger website and on the drop down menu for applications CA hasn't even listed. Skipped right over them. Appeared as if all the remaining 49 states were there.

If anyone was curious I got quoted for Ford Platinum plan all my quotes are for 10 years

60k miles 2350
75k       3075
85k.      3355
100k      3465

Thanks for all the advice. Didn't mean to dominate the forum with such a non Shelby topic.

Thanks for the info.  Yes, if I do purchase the vehicle it will 99% be a Ford plan.  I just want to check out other options for the sake of educating myself  I have never before purchased an extended warranty for an automobile.

  I will cal Grainger just to verify what more than a few people have already said regarding outside Ca companies being able to sell to Ca residents.

Thanks for the help.

Can anyone tell me what they payed for a Ford ESP and how long was your additional coverage?  Just thinking about a new purchase and I would buy this if I go thru with purchase.  I know there are other options besides Ford but just looking around right now.  Thinking about a Platinum plan. 

FYI I am in Ca. and there was some new law recently put on the books where I can not purchase a plan outside of Ca.  I will not be registering the vehicle in Montana, ID or anywhere but Ca.

Thanks in advance.

You might want to say what Vehicle because I am sure the Cost depends on the Vehicle.  Our Ford Dealer makes you take that aftermarket 20 Year / 200,0000 Mile extended crap which is why I bought my last 7 Vehicles from out of town.

If you get a chance share some more thoughts on it. I would like to get the opinion of someone who actually had eyes on it.  Just for my own curiosity. 

Thanks Brian.  I'll be curious to see what happens with 6s2374. I guess EBay didn't pan out for his half million dollar car (as described on eBay)

I had no idea early 66 GT350s did not have the S2MS number on them.  I know they were not exactly assembled according to SFM number but what's the best guess as to around what serial number the S2MS numbers began appearing?  Did carryover cars have no markings or were they using S1MS numbers?

Thanks

I think the first April Fools cover was the Thurman Munsen (?) Cobra also on one of the Marque's I think it was a color cover.

Pretty sure that was Thurman Loomis.  Thurman Munsen was a catcher for the NY Yankees who was killed in an airplane that crashed on landing.

Thanks for clarifying that. I was just about to google Thurman Munsen Cobra. Johnny Bench was my fav though.

great work!
