When I was 17 years old, I hopped on a plane from Atlanta to Providence with an $8,000 check, bought a 1968 Shelby GT350 convertible (red, I might add) and drove it back to Atlanta with the top down the whole way. What a blast! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My dad had a car exactly like yours, a GT500KR fastback. Every time I would take off gently from a stop sign, there was a screeching noise. My date finally asked me what that noise was. Well... I couldn't help it, but it was terribly hard NOT to spin those bias ply rear tires. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> That's one car I wish he wouldn't have sold.

West, Thanks for the great story. I drove my Shelby as an everyday car for the first three years I owned it. Having bought the car when I was 20 years old, I went on many dates and had many experiences similar to yours. Thankfully, I've been able to hold onto the car for 31 years and selling it will pay for a big part of my children's college tuition. Selling will not only leave a void in my garage, but also in my heart.
