Carolina Region SAAC / Happy Thanksgiving!

Last post by BGlover67 - November 28, 2024, 11:51:09 AM

It's been quite a year, between elections and natural disasters.  As the year begins to wind down, it's good to think about and appreciate our family and friends, always remembering what's really important.  I'm optimistic for our hobby in general, even if the entire world seems to be turning it's back on combustion engines and full on embracing electric vehicles instead.  Nothing will ever replace that smell of fossil fuel and the sound of a Ford engine rumbling to life in the garage after a long winter's hiatus.  Something we all have to look forward to.

I wish all of you a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

2006-up Shelby GT/GT-H / Re: Have you driven a $6,970 c...

Last post by Bill - November 28, 2024, 10:31:46 AM

I own a Shelby GT and have run it at Willow springs and the old California Speedway, certainly for its time it its an amazing car that handles excellent. Yes the brakes are not up to the rest of the car but at the California Speedway it was able to out handle most of the same year GT 500s which are pretty fast themselves. There is an old video online from 2011 about the Shelby GT competing with numerous fast cars at an event at Irwindale speedway for online car clubs that were invited to attend. The Shelby GT bested all of them. It is a great car.

Jerry,

    As an ex track junky and part time HPDE instructor, I can tell you that sometimes it's not the car, but the driver. In this case, it may bode well for you vs whoever else you were on the track with. Clearly, you have a good head on your shoulders and do not appear to be compensating, like some others.

Parts For Sale / 9M4 std bore 428 short block

Last post by 428kid - November 28, 2024, 09:02:43 AM

This is a very nice std bore 428 C scratch short block. Came original out of a PI car. It's dated 9m4 with no assy date stamped on it. Engine was in the original running car 30 years ago . Around that time the engine was removed and car was scrapped . I took the block to the machine shop had it all checked out . Thermo cleaned it and magged it . All things passed and looked great. Only issue to not is a very minor chip at the very bottom of one cylinder where something just kissed it but will cause no issue upon rebuild, but I have taken a photo of it. Comes with a std 1ub crank that will need turned due to flash rust from over the years and 8 C7 big bolt rods and balancer. Engine had original cam , lifters , and bearings in place, so does t appear to have ever been apart until PO removed it. Probably have timing cover and a few other pieces if that helps. $Sold picked up in middle TN or delivery to fall Columbus this Friday or early Saturday with deposit.

Not to mention they are in the wrong positions and reproductions

I noticed that who ever replaced the floor pan used a pan that doesnt even have open drain holes. 

Please have the car inspected if you're interested

Just my opinions, but certainly not up minimum standards.
