Barrett Jackson 2009 and Shelby American Collection 2008 follow up

[twobjshelbys]

I went to the Shelby American Collection party in December. Mr Shelby was there and it was then that he first heard about our plans to donate the car. He was signing my BJ SGT diecast when I told him, and as I was walking away he said "Really?".



I hung around and near the end of the evening he was sitting around talking with a few folks and I waited and talked with him and said "Yes". Well, he really did perk up then. As we were walking to the front Mrs. Bondurant saw my camera and asked if I would take a picture.



I snapped two and she said "Stay here" (to which Carroll complied !) and about 30 seconds later, she comes back with Bob.



Carroll said I should Photoshop Bob out of the picture

At the Barrett Jackson auction Bondurants had a booth. I'd seen him in the area but couldn't catch up (I was scouting my Cobra). I went to the booth and they guy that was there said "Write a note". I had sent a CD with the above shots (and a few more) to them and wanted to know if they got them.

Last Thursday I'm in a day-job meeting and the phone rights. 602 area code (Phoenix, I thought it was Barrett Jackson). After the meeting I hit redial.

Me: "Hello, who is this? I got a call from this number and wanted to call back".

Them: "Oh, what's your name"

Me: Tony

Bob: Oh, Hi. This is Bob Bondurant. I left you a message and wanted to say thanks for the photos.

Me: Well, I'm now sorry that I didn't bid on your driving school in Boulder. I just bought a Cobra and need some pointers...

He offered to teach me. I think I'll take him up on it

I might go down for a day or two this summer on the way to Vegas. I'd probably drive the SGT.
