About the announcment
on the cover of the current These covers are made up a month or more before the issue is mailed due to lead time requirements. At the time we firmed up the cover, we thought that we were going to do an E-bay auction for the Red Cross of a SHO model. Since then, we decided to just offer the model at the convention, and to let people know what they are bidding on, I (Don Mallinson) am buying the first of these models for myself with my own money from the person making the donation to the convention charity auction: Joseph Van Oss. Joseph is a master modeler that can do a SHO model in great detail with the correct colors, mods on motors etc. His deal is this: He will make a model for the winning bidders (he will donate two models) of THEIR car. The winning bidder must supply pictures of their car and work with Joseph to get the details right (down to tint on the windows, stuff in side the car etc). What Joseph asks is that the winning bidder pay about $40 for his supplies (one of the plastic models still available, they usually go on E-bay or in stores for $15 to $25) plus paint and trim etc. He is donating his time (many, many hours) and will build a wonderful keepsake for you and your family of your special SHO. Only catch is that he can only do Generation I (1989-1991) SHO's since that is the only Taurus model ever made. The model of my 1991 Mocha/Mocha SHO Plus will be on display at the convention to let people know what quality of model they will bid on. We are NOT doing an E-bay auction! Only auctions (one live, one silent) at the Maryland Convention. All proceeds from the auction go to the Red Cross. Remember you also owe Joseph the approx $40 fee up front on top of your convention auction bids. If you have questions, please contact me at SHOclub.
