Is anyone going to the Shelby’s 50th Anniversary in Las Vegas on March 14-17? Is anyone taking any Trans Am Cougars to the show? I realize this may not be the best place to ask since Shelby didn’t make a Cougar but it still sounds like a good time. My Dad and I are kicking the idea around of going. Shelby will be 89 this year so we figure we better go before too much more time passes.
Also a good excuse to check up on Gunner!! 
http://www.teamshelby.com has good detailed information.
I hadn’t heard about that one.
I found out about this one over the weekend.

Followed the next day by the Fabulous Fords Forever show at Knott’s Berry Farm.
Hmmmm, that could be fun. If I remember correctly, Dan, a friend of mine (that I’ve conversed with for 8-10 and finally met in person last month) might be going to Vegas for the “track” portion of that event. He’s a SAAC “Technical Judge”; and likes to work in the… (Would “Show and Go” be a good term?) events. I’m guessing that, since it’s a replica, his Factory Five Roadster is going to stay home.
Y’know, with all the bogus propanganda about “Ol’ $hel” having a hand in design/production of one of the niche Cougars, I’d expect that the SAAC brethren might want a few E-Cats -or whatever model purportedly had his input- to show up. So there’s any Cougar-phile’s excuse 
Just bought my tickets and booked the flight! Should be a great event!!
Probably not unless I hit the lottery and can afford one.
People with Gs and GT-Es should be right at home at a Shelby event…Shelby did make a Cougar, remember?!
Just sayin… 
I’d love to tag along, Brian, but the schedule isn’t gonna permit it this year, dangit!
It will be a very very cool event, I’m sure. It would be so fun to drive a car down there for the event. Once in a lifetime opportunity…
Local guys…Wes and Edd Oster are driving Wes’s 56 F-100 to Los Angeles to meet up with some other Shelby guys then they are driving to Vegas for the main event…They are retired and have all the time in the world to go on fun trips like that.
My dad and I are still apart of the “common working folk”. We are flying out Wednesday at noon then returning Sunday at 9:30am. Quick trip, but it will be fun. We will have to come back to work to recover and sleep when we are dead!! Sleep is over-rated for these types of trips!
I read on the Team Shelby web site that only Shelbys, Mustangs and Cobras are invited this year. I’d guess It would be OK to bring a classic Ford track car, but I’ll be bringing my 1966 GT350 instead of the Cougar Trans Am Race Car or Falcon Trans Am Race Car. I’ll be there on behalf of the Los Angeles Shelby American Auto Club offering driver coaching to new participants.
