I did not ask for there info back or any of their stuff. We have always maintained that we would keep the new cars we build and ford builds, SAAC does not have the GT_H or the shelby GT info, that has always been ours, as with all cars going forward.

Carroll has always wanted a place for all owners and non owners who love his brand and it's right that that place be developed and built by Shelby. This will be online, up to date, from us to all of you, with events, many events, to celebrate cars, members and racing. This is a big task being under taken by us. We want you all to have a place to see up to the minute info from the company and up to the minute info on your car, whether in the registry or waiting to be built, or if you added mods, the registry will be updated automatically.

We expect this to be very different from SAAC, they do a Book and one event a year, we want this to be more and we are willing to invest in that. There will be newsletters, magazines, interviews with Carroll and the team, forums, factory and product insights....... Why not wait to see it before you judge it.

Values of the cars will not change. this is a group, a club a society built by Shelby for Shelby .

And yes we know we can not do all this ourselves. We would love to have those who wish to help join us. Thank you

Amy,
As a long term SAAC member and Shelby car enthusiast, it is confusing to me why Shelby Autos would not renew the Shelby license to an enthusiast club that has spent 30 plus years keeping the interest alive in the cars built by Shelby. I assume the license agreement is for the use of Shelby's name and trademarks. If that is what it is, I can not imagine anything positive from this negative action.
Coming up with an enthusiest club for the new cars is fine. As far as Forums go, this one is the best you will find. Decisions like ending license agreements with SAAC are counterproductive to keeping the ethusium going for our 60's cars. With Shelby Autos focus mostly on the new cars, I am sure owners like myself of the 60's Shelby American cars will soon feel abandoned. How can it not effect the values of our cars?
