Would have been cool to announce on 1/27/25, which would have been the 60th anniversary of the GT350 at Riverside on the same date in 1965.  I guess announcing on a Monday wouldn't be as interesting  ;)  ;)

That's a valid point.  It would not surprise me, however, that the date might be lost to them, fallen through the sands of time.  Or they don't care.

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"

The unveiling, like many new series Shelby vehile productions, are unveiled at BJ auction, sometimes for charity.  Those are the dates that matter now. 8)
Just nuts.

+1, from the SA perspective, it's free advertising, live TV coverage and a car enthusiast audience.  Anything else would have been big $$ out of pocket for them and likely not have been as far reaching.

That is the most plausible explanation.  Makes sense.
