Does anyone have a Carroll Shelby signed check from Shelby American Inc., made out to Ken Miles and endorsed by Ken Miles, that they might want to part with?

I had a chance to buy one a while back but I had to buy a whole collection to get it and I was only really looking for this one item.

I know it's a shot in the dark but I thought I'd try.  I have a mint 66 GT350 owners manual (2nd printing) that I might trade.

PM me if you might want to sell or trade.

A Ken Miles check signed by Carroll Shelby and endorsed by Ken Miles!!!! Holy freakin hell!!!!

Thanks you so much, to one of my fellow SAAC members for parting with a piece of history.  You.... are...... awesome!!!!

I know that this might sound a bit dorky but getting this check is somewhat epic in my nerdy world.

The check to Ken was for $356.25.  The date on the check was July 25th, 1963.  I am still shaking after getting this piece of history.  My fellow SAAC member not only parted with this check but he sent me an additional "super secrete surprise".  I am so grateful for the amazing forum members here. 

I think I might have a bit of a tear in my eye  :'( I am so happy.  That or it's the rum  ;D

Super cool!  Congrats!
Thank you.  The Ford v Ferrari move meant allot to me and it had a huge impression on me and my 20 old daughter, Julia. 

On this forum, we always talk allot about passing the torch to the next generation and this movie was a catalyst for that.  My 20 year old daughter ,Julia, is part of the next generation which I hope that I've passed that torch on to.  She loves Shelby's and she has already claimed my cars when I kick the bucket.

Damn kids!!!!   ;D
