    Reminder! The Shelby Auction is tomorrow!

    If anyone is planning to attend, please get us some pictures/info for an Up Front article!

    If anyone is planning to bid on the cars, good luck!

    Also, if you are planning to attend and don’t have tickets yet, Chris Wright of Turbos Unleashed posted in the SDAC Facebook group that he is offering up two tickets to any of his customers! Facebook makes it hard to link a post, however, if you go to the SDAC group and scroll down or search you can find it, link to group here:

    Re: Shelby auction- June

    I looked up some of the Shelby Dodges on the Bonhams site tonight. More than one include this nice message:
    • "Please note title is in transit – Following the sale, this vehicle will be shipped back to Gardena California where it is scheduled to be inspected by the CHP on June 16th, 2018. Following its inspection, the DMV will produce a title in approximately 6 to 8 weeks. All additional shipping and storage costs resulting from the car's transfer to California will be paid for by the seller."


    I'd be pretty annoyed to win one of these cars (a state away) and be on the hook for this mystery cost. Hell, I'd be annoyed even if I lived in Gardena, CA. I don't understand why they didn't have the titles resolved before auction.

    That said "seller" not "buyer" or auction "winner". Looks like they are going to be springing for the cross country trip to get a stupid title.

    And I assume the winner will have to pay to have it shipped BACK from CA. Living in CT I'd be bent if I could not pick up my purchase "on the spot" and was told that I'd have to ship it or pick it up in California. Particularly galling as cars that old in CT require no title, just a bill of sale.

    Wow, I read it a few times and didn't see it right. I'd be pissed like Gary. I'd rather fly the CHP guy out here to inspect the car. That would be cheaper all around.
    If it was never titled, I'd imagine it would still have a certificate of origin that could be used to title it.

    How many want to guess that the title will now come back as a basic dodge model.

    Well... What were the results? I thought this would have been updates real time by someone. I purposely stayed away, because I didn't want a new truck in my driveway.

    Re: Shelby auction- June

    I'm not really surprised by the two CSXs. The Lancer went higher than what I thought by about 4K, and the GLHS beat my expectations by a solid 10K. Anything with a bed on it makes me wonder what people were thinking.

    The '83 Dodge Shelby Prototype actually went for less than I was expecting. It's the very first one. It's "famous" in that it has been in more press release photos with Carroll than any other Shelby Dodge with maybe the exception of GLHS #001, and has spent a fair bit of time on display at the Vegas Heritage Centre. The trucks went for more than I was expecting. And I'm happy with the results of the '87 GLHS.

    Re: Shelby auction- June

    To me this seals the fate of the "values" for these cars. I will never expect them to go for more than $20k for an EXTREMELY nice one.

    Anyone hanging on to these thinking they've got the next "Hemi 'Cuda" is in for a really rude awakening...

    Re: Shelby auction- June

    Not the only example of the effect of the prejudices of magazine writers/editors. For me, I never understood their obsessive dedication to overhead cams and their denigration of pushrods in applications where high RPM was never in play. Irrational. Fake. But the results persist.

    In '85, I was gonna buy a Mustang but I got into TMs for two reasons - power to weight, and gas mileage - handling and Iaccoca's 5/5/50 deal were also factors. - bought my GLHT.

    I agree that the market won't support anything like that for a long time. Frankly, if it weren't for a relative handful of die hard fans, most of these cars would have faded into obscurity already.
