checkered Flag: Bill Miller

[SFM6S]

Longtime SAAC member William (Bill) E. Miller passed away on November 30, 2024 at the age of 91. He was recently diagnosed with tumors in his brain. Bill purchased his renowned black and gold 1966 GT350H in April of 1981 and immediately joined SAAC and the Colorado chapter. He became heavily involved in both open track event and vintage racing. He drove his car to several SAAC conventions and participated in the Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing Association. He was a proud promoter of the marque and of all the organizations he belonged to.
 On the local level Bill served in several capacities as a CO SAAC rep, president, vice president and organizer of our four to six open track events we put on annually. His most recent outing with his GT350H was the Shelby American Collection party this past August.
  Our thoughts and prayers go out to his longtime companion Mary Sue Powell, Bill's two daughters and his many grandchildren.
  Celebration of life events are pending.

I was lucky enough to meet Bill at the Shelby American Collection car show/party when he bought out his car. Quite a good guy impression he made on me from my little time talking to him. With his advanced age his participation with his car at that show was inspirational for myself and others I talked to about him that afternoon. RIP

[FL SAAC Team Leader]

Our sincerest condolences to all family and friends

Very sad to read about Bill's passing.  He was a really great person and a true Shelby enthusiast.  I enjoyed his company and racing against him.  It was a pleasure to have known him and had his friendship for nearly 40 years.  Godspeed to you Bill.

Bill and his constant companion Mary Sue Powell, drove the GT350H to a large car show at Arapahoe Community College here in Denver last June. Here are some pictures and Bill's brief summary of his life with this car. I don't know another person who enjoyed his Shelby more.
