GT500-07 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Kyle, I've sent my information into Steve a few weeks back (SS 725hp). Can you tell me what car carrier companys you've all have used with good results? And will you assist in getting the original parts from the car back to us? John Walker (SAI) had said they would look into packing/pallet the parts and send them back to us, at our exspense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n20civicb18 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 What is your name? (for reference) We are willing to ship any parts back to you but just like Shelby said it will be at your expense. I had a few guys say they were gonna bring the car up then fly back, then they would fly in when the car is complete and rent a U-Haul to bring the car back (and put everything in the back of the U-Haul) That is just one idea. I will talk to my Director and see if he has any good shipping company's he recommends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribeca North Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 ...rent a U-Haul to bring the car back (and put everything in the back of the U-Haul) That is just one idea. I will talk to my Director and see if he has any good shipping company's he recommends. I live about 600 miles from Tasca. If I do full SS conversion I think the best plan is to pay for one-way shipping to Tasca via enclosed Intercity Transport or Horseless Carriage or similar to get the Shelby to Rhode Island... probably around $1000. Then after SS conversion-- fly in to Providence, rent a one-way Penske 16' box truck to carry parts, add car carrier (pic) for the Shelby ..... I priced this out at around $650. for the 600 mile one-way rental, which includes truck + mileage + car carrier: everything except gasoline. .....Or I might just decide to save the airfare & spend the bucks to have the Shelby + old parts shipped separately back to me..... might be just too freaking nerve - wracking to drive 600 miles w/a fresh Super Snake hanging by a tow ball off the back of a beat up rental truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500-07 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Since they are planning to start in November (hopefully) my fear is mother nature/weather. Here in the mid atlantic we are over due for some type of bad weather. With my luck, they'll get snow, ice, sleet , etc. I've spent many white Thanks Givings in CT when the in-laws lived up there. I don't need to see snow or road salt all over the Shelby. I'm 400 miles south from Tasca, I'm going to ship it both ways via enclosed transport. I'll have the old parts shipped or have my friend in CT pick them up and drive them back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy23c Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 You can always play it by ear...I live in New England, too and usually the snow holds off until early December--usually. Hey, why not drive it home and have someone drive the truck home (weather permitting)? What's 400 miles, about an hour in a Super Snake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n20civicb18 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Usually we might get a light dusting in early December, it usually melts within a day or so then the snow really starts coming after Christmas, but its very hard to predict mother nature.

crispy23c Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 We (Shelby Autos) would rather give a proper, hard date than guess. We feel that it is the right thing from both a supplier and customer satisfaction standpoint. We will be getting with Tasca shortly to coordinate with them. Just a little more patience will be a good thing for all involved! B) We all want to do this right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70 ford Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hey Kyle - good talking with you the other day. You guys must be just giddy over all of this. Can't wait to get mine done. I sent an email - give me a buzz when you have a minute. Thanks. i would also like mine done but am totally confused. I have been asking quetions and Tasca says shelby is limited to 1000 super snakes but they can make as many as they want. i need to get to the bottom of this before i drop 30k.
