"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Whats more amazing is there several collections like that around the country

At least they are being preserved though in the hands of a few. In time they will get scattered again.

This is why we no longer see very many "old" cars at conventions and shows. If the owner is even interested in attending they will bring a car or two leaving the other 10-100 at home.
I wonder if holding conventions near these collections would be doable. The open track while it's been a staple of the SAAC convention has become more of a replica and late car event than one for classic Shelbys. Just a thought......

At SAAC 43 in 2018, which was held at Sonoma, we had a day at DenBeste Motorsports so we've done it before.  It was awesome!  What a collection!

A lot of those cars were for sale. At one time they were the biggest Shelby dealer in the world and might still be. Bill Denbeste also owns or did own the Shelby engine co.
