SEFLSAAC's October Recap
October saw SEFLSAAC firing on all eight cylinders. We've been busy, to say the least, but it's all been great fun.
October 4 -- Homecoming
We started the month off with a homecoming event at a local high school. Several alumni were inducted into the hall of fame. What's more exciting? They got a ride at the halftime parade in this 500-horsepower parade float.
Thankfully, we didn't unleash all 500 of those horses at once during the parade. That just wouldn't have been polite.
October 11 -- Gus Machado Show & Saleen Unveiling
October also saw the unveiling of the new Saleen and a block party/car show at Gus Machado's dealership in Hialeah to celebrate.
October 19 -- Susan G. Komen Rally For The Cure Event
SEFLSAAC did the right thing and rallied for the cure in support of the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
October 26 -- Magic Pumpkin Car Show
It's not October without pumpkins, and it's not SEFLSAAC without loads of horsepower.
October 26 -- Halloween Party
What better way to close out the month than with a Halloween party?
See you in November!

South East Florida SAAC Help The Hungry In Palm Beach County
On Sunday, September 15, 2013, South East Florida SAAC got together to help the hungry in Palm Beach County. To everyone who attended and contributed, we want to extend a hearty thank you on our behalf. It's easy these days to get so caught up in the trappings of our daily lives that we forget those people who have it worse than us. Some of us complain about car insurance premiums, while forgetting that others don't know when their next meal will come, if at all.

South East Florida SAAC - Your Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach Car Club
A famous playwright from centuries past once wrote: "What's in a name?" We've got the answer: "A lot." Especially when your name is South East Florida Shelby American Automobile Club Region.
If you spend enough time around us, it's easy to see we're committed to being the nation's premier Shelby, Mustang, Cobra, and high performance Ford Club. How do we do that, you ask? Simple. We drive 'em, show 'em, and have fun.

Big Block Muscle, "Horse" Power Heart - SEFL SAAC & Friends at Children's Home Society
There's a time for work and a time for fun, but there should always be time to do what's right. On August 10, 2013, SEFLSAAC and friends made time for all three to help the West Palm Beach Children's Home Society with their back-to-school supplies drive.
The Children's Home Society supports foster families who aid at-risk children, and helps find permanent homes for those who cannot be reunited with the birth parents. This non-profit organization provides support to the kids and their families. Every year around August, these children go back to school, some without the tools they need to excel in school.
This year, SEFLSAAC and friends stepped up to the plate and hit a home run. The cars paraded into the facility parking lot loaded to the brim with book bags, tablets, notebooks, lunchboxes - you name it, if it could fit into the trunk (or passenger seats, or just about anywhere, really), they had it, and brought it out for these kids in need.
Thanks to everyone who rode out and made this event a success. You have given the children of needy families the tools they need to excel in school and reach for brighter futures. This event fired on all cylinders, and it wouldn't have been as great as it was if not for everyone's involvement. Thanks again, and see you next time!

Mystery Cruise #2 Revealed: The Deering Estate
If you've been following our mystery cruise clues, whether on Instagram or on the forum, you probably wouldn't have guessed that we'd end up where we ended up last Saturday, given that South Florida is a pretty big place with lots of history... and that's okay! It wasn't our goal to give the destination away so easily...
The Deering Estate at Cutler is indeed one of South Florida's dearest historical wonders. The former winter home of philanthropist, Charles Deering, the Deering Estate has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986. Today it chronicles some of the very earliest chapters in the human history of South Florida. The archaeological records housed in the Deering Estate, specifically in the Cutler Fossil Site, tell a story of pre-historic human habitation in South Florida dating as far back as 10,000 years; prior to the discovery of the fossilized remains of South Florida's first and most ancient residents, scientists were only able to trace human habitation in South Florida back 4,000 years, making the Cutler Fossil Site one of the most archaeologically significant sites in the Eastern United States. Most of these sensitive artifacts, excavated in 1986, are now part of archive collections at the Historical Museum of Southern Florida and the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville.
To those of you who were able to join us and seize the beautiful day, thanks for cruising with us, touring with us and learning with us. It was a truly fun and enlightening day for all.
Ciao!

Re-Cap: Marlins vs Nationals - Saturday July 13, 2013
Happy Tuesday Everyone!
Last Saturday was our club's first ever tailgate party! And it was so much fun that it had us wondering why hadn't done something like this before. If you were unable to attend, we're sorry that you had to miss out. But we hope to see you at our next event!
We had lots of vehicles show up to the tailgate party, which was held at the service area of Gus Machado Ford. From there we caravanned to the game. Much to our surprise, a conveniently located open lot awaited the arrival of our Ford-powered team.
From there it was a short, brisk walk to the ballpark.
Upon entering the stadium we were greeted by live performers dressed in colorful, folkloric Colombian costumes. Evidently, it was Colombian night. Suffice it to say there were lots of photo opportunities and infectiously festive live music that would make wallflowers dance. Our infamously uncooperative SoFlo weather actually cooperated with us, as we went into the ball park without rain and left without rain. While inside of the stadium, however, it stormed profusely. No matter. Beneath the protective dome of the new stadium (pictured below), we witnessed the Marlins game undisturbed.
And what a game! After falling behind for most of the game, our Marlins somehow managed to score a home-run at the bottom of the 9th and pulled an unexpected comeback victory, bases loaded, in the 10th tie-breaking inning against the Nationals.
Thank you to South Florida Ford for making this event possible and to our sister-club, the Muscle-Stangs of Miami, for joining us and letting the good times roll as always.
All the best!
Tony

Cars and Kilts
We got our kilts twisted at the Cars and Kilts car show at The Twisted Kilt Pub. While none of us got out our tartan kilts for the event, our cars were polished up and show ready. Mustangs and Shelby's, even Dodges and a Chevy Corvette were out in full force. After the show, we all sat together at one table to enjoy some pub food and brew. All in all, it was a great show and an awesome tribute to our friend and brother, Juan, who we're sure was watching us from up above and smiling.

SE FL SAAC on the Cover of the Rolling Stones!!!???
 |
Well not quite... Sorry, folks. We did not in fact make the cover of the Rolling Stones Magazine. (Mad editing props go out to our resident tech support, the Mach 1 Fashionista and Mr. T) However, we did make the June 2013 Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords. They covered NPD's 19th Annual Ford & Mustang Roundup at Silvers Springs, Florida.
Turn to page 140 FRATERNITY OF FORDS...
...and low and behold in the big picture you have from left to right:
1) The BLUE BOMB (a.k.a. El Gee Tee 500)
2) Then you have the black and gold HERTZ driven by Mr. J
3) Followed by Luis and Marlene’s Boss 302 (recently wrecked R.I.P. they are OK)
4) Oh no. another stump puller the RED BOMB (a.k.a. EL Otro Gee Tee 500) driven by Mr. Nelly and Miss Jacklyn
5) Followed by Marcs red Pantera
6) Next to it you have Mr. T and Mrs. Alis blue Mach 1
Just above this picture they have a small picture.
Here we have :
1) Mr. Hectors and Mrs. Ayi yellow / black Stang convertible
2) Followed by Mrs. J black GT convertible
3) Mr. Ciros white Cobra………………hissssssssss said the snake.
Then if you have a HUBBLE TELESCOPE and you magnify this tiny picture, the building in the back you would see DARTHs BIG RED (a.k.a. El Gee Tee 500 Viejo).
It was parked next to the survivor 1966 red Shelby, the beautiful Green 1968 GT 500 that belongs to Mr. Jim and Rick Schimdts (picture on page 148). Unfortunately BIG RED did not come out in the magazine…….just a red dot
But through the miracle of the HUBBLE, we have magnified it for your viewing pleasure in picture number four. I guess it does not make sense to photograph two red Shelbys together. Oh well, maybe next year.
Congratulations to all!

Mustangs & Mustangs at the Fantasy of Flight 2013
Ask a bunch of gearhead guys and gals whether they like cars, and I bet you can guess the answer. Now ask them about planes. Surprisingly, you'll get the same answer.
On the weekend of April 13, 2013 Southeast Florida SAAC was out in full force at Fantasy of Flight, a sprawling aeronautical museum right in their backyard. With several Ford clubs attending, it goes without saying that there were plenty of Mustangs. But that's only half the equation. The other mustang was a World War II fighter plane, the P-51 Mustang. All event guests got their picture taken with their car astride the fighter plane.
You could spend a day and then some perusing at vast assortment of aeronautical history. The museum housed everything from early twentieth century biplanes to such oddities as a helicopter/airplane hybrid. And, unlike some museums, these exhibits aren't meant just to be displayed. The curators actually fired some up and went airborne in mock dogfights. Some of us were lucky enough to get rides in these vintage planes.
It was rumored that celebrities were in attendance. Our photographers caught Marylin Monroe and Elvis Presley among the crowds.
Interestingly enough, we learned a puzzling bit of automobile history while at an airplane museum. Apparently, Mr. Shelby had dealings south of the border in Mexico. He organized Shelby of Mexico which produced (you guessed it) Shelbys and specially-optioned Mavericks, but that's another story. Check our forum for those details.
We'd like to thank all our Mustang and Shelby friends who rode out to make this event so great. Special thanks go out to Fantasy of Flight for being such great hosts.

SE FL SAAC at Barrett Jackson in Palm Beach County
On Saturday, April 6, 2013, Barrett Jackson held its world-reknown event in Florida at the Palm Beach County fairgounds. The South East Florida SAAC attended in full force. We were fortunate that one of our members was able to obtain sixty free entry passes for our club. We got more than we bargained for when realized that each of the entry tickets was good for two attendees - that's one-hundred and twenty entries total. Since we had more than we needed, we donated several to families who have never been, or would not otherwise have gone.
Outside the center was a plethora of vendors and exhibits. Parked under a series of tents along the thoroughfare was a collection of show cars primed for the auction. Parked in neat rows were several million dollars of autos, ranging from the earliest stretch of automotive history to late-model supercars of today. At the far end was a speedway, where those had signed up got a ride in Ford's and Chevy's latest cars, culminating, of course, in either the new Shelby or Corvette, depending on your preference.
The auction itself was an exciting event. From a regular guy's point of view (that's yours truly):
1) The 1970 dark green Mach 1 428 sold at $57,000 was a bargain
2) The 1970 light green Mach 1 428 sold at $60,000 was a bargain
3) The 1969 metalic light blue 428 SCJ sold at $64, 000 was a bargain
4) The 1968 metallic blue GT500 convertible sold at $300,000 was a bargain
5) The 1970 grabber blue Boss 429 sold at $190,000 was a bargain
On the first three cars, you could not restore them for what they sold for, except if you did it yourself. These cars are beautiful. Check out the pictures that we took.
Some things we did not understand, but then again maybe it's a sign of the economic times. A very clean 1969 Camaro Z-28, with the cross ram option and the rare rear disc brake option, sold for a very low $150,000. Meanwhile, a 1968 GT500E continuation car sold for $135,000.
All things considered, the Barrett Jackson event is definitely a must-see for all car enthusiasts. We took over 1,000 photos, but have narrowed them down to about 300 which we'll be sharing with you soon. Folks, if you have never been to one, all we can tell you is do it. Experiencing so many fine automobiles in one concentrated spot borders on sensory overload, but it is totally worth it.
Southeast Florida SAAC would like to thank South Florida Ford for granting us this special opportunity to attend such a world-class auto event.

Mystery Cruise - March 2013
On Sunday, March 24, 2013, the South East Florida SAAC Region and their friends, the Muscle Stangs of Miami, mobilized for a car cruise to parts unknown. Calling it a "Mystery Cruise," no one was sure where everyone was going until they got there, except for one guy who knew all along (you know who you are), and he sure wasn't telling. In fact, he still wouldn't reveal the details for the purposes of this story, as he was sworn to secrecy on Her Majesty's Secret Service. The location remains a well-kept secret known only to those fortunate to have participated.
The day was hot and bright when the car clubs converged in Miami and set out, first taking a cruise up historic Southwest Eighth Street, the historical epicenter of Miami's vibrant Cuban community. The second leg of the cruise ran the length of the world-famous Art Deco district on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, Florida, where some of the same multi-million dollar eateries and hotels have stood since the days of Meyer Lansky and Al Capone. But, to everyone's surprise, the run up Collins was not the cruise in itself. No, it was merely the route chosen to get to where they were headed. The cruise culminated in a quiet, out of the way beach hidden in plain sight, and which to this day remains a well-kept secret even to the locals.
After a picnic lunch, the car enthusiasts and their families were treated to mangrove forests, kayaking, bike rides, and beaches. Fun, sun, and a history lesson too, if you were paying attention. What more can a car guy or gal ask for?

The Miami Herald: "Arts of all Kinds at Hialeah's Art on Palm Festival"
The Hialeah Art on Palm Car and Bike Show turned out to be a great success both for the area gearheads and the local community. Nine city blocks of arts, crafts, music, food, cars, choppers, and octane ensured something for everyone, and everyone had a great time.
For those who aren’t so into cars as we are (and yes, these people exist), there were one-of-a-kind paintings, jewelry, hand-made clothes. For those who like to dance, the music ran the gamut from techno and rock to salsa and jazz. And for those who like to eat (and who doesn’t?), there was an army of food trucks arrayed on the street offering every variety of food imaginable.
We’d like to extend a special "Thank You" to Jean, who coordinated the food trucks at this and similar events. My friends, we were in food heaven. And also, "thank you" to Jumping Jack and the City Of Hialeah, for once again putting on a first class event.
We had fifteen cars show up to the event, and nine took home trophies. Interestingly, the judging also included cash prizes. Imagine, instead of having to pay to enter the show (entry was free), you get a nominal prize for ranking in. There’s a Yakov Smirnov joke there somewhere (“In Soviet Russia, car show pays you!”).
At least one Miami Herald reporter was on site. He interviewed some of our SAAC members and took photographs of our fine vehicles. Read about what he had to say below:
