OK, since you asked.....at a SAAC meet in Detroit circa 1985 CS was signing stuff (free, before he charged) and she took a new Autokraft AC MK IV warranty book up and without looking first CS whipped the 'ol sig on it. He then stopped and looked at what he had signed, and then stormed off and stopped signing. This was during one of the periods where Brian Angliss and 'ol Shel weren't friendly. They went through a couple of periods when they "made nice" (during one I was interupted at home during dinner by Brian who asked me "do you know where I am calling from? I sitting at Carroll Shelby's pool!!!")
Anyhow CS went ballistic that night at the SAAC banquet about "replicas" and people "stealing the heritage, etc."

Everyone in our group blamed my wife! And she still is proud of pi$$ing him off!
