SHELBY GT350 MUSTANGS TAKE TO THE OPEN ROAD !

[FL SAAC]

We often hear comments from viewers about cars that cross the auction block who think the cars will be stored away in a collection not to be seen by the public and not to be driven.  That is seldom the case. 

Certainly, a concours quality restoration will keep a car from getting too dirty, but this week a group of almost 50 owners of Shelby GT350's got together for their annual GT350 Tour in Indiana and Kentucky.

The valuable cars were mostly 1965 and 1966 models with a few 1967's.  This group of owners covered almost 1,000 miles during the week and enjoyed spirited driving, tours of great collections, and even a staging of the Shelby's on the grid at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway followed by a lap of the track three wide!

At every stop the cars were the main attraction of the day and enjoyed by local residents.  By week's end the cars were dirty and loaded onto trailers to be shipped back home to be cleaned, serviced, readied for the next Tour.

It's nice to see so many great cars on the road together and enjoyed as they were meant to be.

One must always remember what the Maestro Carroll Shelby said :

These cars are meant to be driven so enjoy the hell out of all of it.

Not just the look of it when its all clean.

Quite an array of Shelby's finest.  I am liking that red Hertz in one of the photos.  Also, looks like there might be a R Model in the midst of another photo.
