Bellevue Washington Mustang Roundup

Attended the All Ford Picnic and Mustang round up at the Bellevue Community College Sunday. This was a well attended meet with a special tribute to Shelby American. Between 30 and 40 Shelbys, Some of the highlights; The first 1965 GT-350 Street car 003, the middle production run car, 5S282 and the very last 65 GT-350 5S562. There was a 65 Cobra small block car and a genuine 427 Cobra. So many 66 GT-350's that I couldn't count them all. There was a black and silver Ford GT. A large number of 69 and 70 Boss 302's, one Boss 429. I didn't get a chance to look over the whole show, I did see a GTE Cougar (427) a BUNCH of 428 Cobra Jet Mustangs in addition to literally hundreds of Mustangs, Fords, Stock and Custom. Porcine Paradise (Hog Heaven) for Ford Lovers.

There were a bunch of clones. One in particular was an almost perfect example of a 65 GT-350R. Everything I saw was correct for an R-Model, but I didn't really look too close.

I don't have a problem with the clone guys, as long as they do not attempt to pass their cars off as anything but modified Mustangs. I did have an experience with a guy at the Portland Swap Meet years ago. He had a 66 Hertz car that was an obvious clone, (2+2 Emblems, pony interior) and was representing it as a genuine Shelby. When I cornered him, he admitted that the original car had been totaled, and he put the parts on the clone. He didn't believe he had done anything wrong. I couldn't decide if he was stupid, a crook or both. The bad thing was he managed to sell the car. Guy who bought it was from Canada, and thought he had a real bargain. The SAAC guys maintain that if they are contacted before the sale, it would be virtually impossible to pass off a fake. Later Bill

Hey, if someone wants a clone, it's their car and their money. They should do what is good for them.

I hate to see it done, and wish they could just be proud to own a classic. But, clones just aren't for me. I even hate to see some of the mods that are done which would be near impossible to restore. They look sharp, but it's just another classic gone. Of course, it does raise the value on my original (though slightly modded - new stereo but without altering the dash opening kind of mods).

But, pass off a cl>I don't have a problem with the clone guys, as long as they do not attempt
