SGT2666 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hey Ron, nice choice Torche Red! Did you buy from Whidby Island Ford? I think I may have made an offer on that car shortly before you bought. It was on ebay for a week or so, and did not sell. The contact I made at Whidby Ford was with Zane of internet sales, they did not accept/respond quick enough , and I ended up buying mine from Bickford Ford in Snohomish the first week of November. Vista Blue Coupe. Wheel hop is an issue, many posts on various solutions found here, check them out using the search feature, but Grabbers got it right. I am holding out for a SS upgrade, so I am not planning any mods before. I live in Lake Stevens east of Everett, nice to see other guys in the area. Grabber is the most famous WA resident on the forum, I see he has invited you to his meet and greet event in May, I need to clear my schedule yet, so I have not yet RSVP's but want to go. This will be a good chance to meet members from the PNW. Good luck with your LCA, UCA mod. Also, be sure you don't miss the next team Shelby event at Las Vegas, hopefully there will be one this fall. It was simply the best time I have ever had at any motoring event. Don't be a stranger. Rick M I'm in Lake Stevens to, guess I missed this whole regional section. There is a little mustang event in Marysville on Saturday at Marysville Speed n' Custom. They are doing 20 dyno runs and the local SVT club will be there. Hoping to have my car together but it hasn't been cooperating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to have my car together but it hasn't been cooperating. Really, I had herd there was a dyno somewhere in Marysville. Do they do this often? Would like to give it a try sometime, but my care is still bone stock. Already know what to expect in RWHP from other posts. This Sat I am headed over to our 2nd home in Wenatchee, been cold over there and need to make sure everything is in order, otherwise I would head over to watch. If this comes up again, please post in the PNW area, if nothing else it is a nice opportunity to meet other mustang guys from around here. Take care.

Jimz06GT-H Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Howdy, Just bought GT-H #136 on Monday from Bickford Ford in Snohomish. They have had the car since last Spring and originally had the car listed for $60K. Needless to say I paid significantly less than that ($10K less than they paid for it). Got hooked on the GT-H after renting one in Hawaii this past fall. Had to unload a couple a vehicles before I could add another. We also have a 99 Saleen S281 S/C Convertible (currently getting a total repaint in a local restoration shop). We live between Snohomish and Lake Stevens. We have been very active in Mustangs Northwest and the Seattle SVTOA clubs for about 10 years. Look forward to meeting more Shelby owners this spring and summer. Jim PS - The Dyno Day activity mentioned previously has been postponed due to snow being forcast for Saturday, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim PS - The Dyno Day activity mentioned previously has been postponed due to snow being forcast for Saturday, Hey Jim welcome. Is the the White SGT Coupe they had out front? Nice car, would like to have bought it myself, but could not justify 2 garage queens. Its great finding other members so close to home. Lets stay in touch and plan some day runs this spring. Since I bought my GT500 last November I did not put but 175mi on it until I hauled it to LasVegas for Shelby's 85th. It was a blast to finally get to drive more than 5 miles between rain storms. Maybe May we can all make the run South to Grabbers Meet & Great together. That would be cool. Stay safe! Rick Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrodric Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 PS - The Dyno Day activity mentioned previously has been postponed due to snow being forcast for Saturday, Hey Jim, If you know, could you please post when this event is going to happen. I would really like to attend, if there is a spot, I would like to try the dyno, but if nothing else, just show up to watch and visit. Thanks in advance!

Rick They are planning on March 1st and once that is confirmed I will try to remember to post (it's heck getting old). I bought the Black/Gold GT-H with 9880 milkes. Drove it to work everyday this week! I guess when the rain comes back I'll leave it in the garage and drive my Harley Davidson F-150. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do too much in May. Have two out of state trips planned. We are planning to head to Tri-Cities overMemorial Day for their annual show though. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim I'll mark it on my calender and give them a call to see if it is on. I saw the GTH, great choice, nice week to drive , but did not get mine out. Oh well, spring is close. BTW, there are a couple of great car shows in Wenatchee in the summer, nice drive over HWy 2, nice little town. We normally spend Memorial weekend in Wenatchee, but a nice drive down river to the Tric-Cities on Sat may be fun. My in-laws live there.

I plan on loading up on food at Costco and I get extra, so if it is last minute...that's fine. I just need about a week notice. We will have a feed, photo shoot, and visiting and then a drive. I am thinking about getting some live music too. You can come a little early and wash your car here too if you want. Others did that last year.

They had that extra little sticker in the window looking for $20K over sticker. I was able to get a much better deal than that but still paid a premium. If I can get the wheel hop fixed I will be fine with leaving it stock. However, SS 725 would have to be fun. :happy feet: Lake Stevens is a really nice area but if you commute to Seattle it has to be a killer.

I took her out sunday. It was a blast! Now I have the mod bug again. I ordered the Ford KR shifter from EVO. It is the Ford racing one that comes standard in the KR. :happy feet: I also ordered a new car capsul for the long storage months next winter. It will help protect against moisture.

GT500Ron Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Ron, I got rid of my wheel hop with a set of the BMR LCA's. Now my tires just spin. No Hopp. You can do a search and type in Wheel Hop and read up on everything. The Job is easy. I have a shop at my house and could help you put a set of BMR's LCA's if you are ever in Vancouver. BTW.......I am having a party in May. You are invited. click here for details. Oh ya....welcome to Team Shelby. http://forum.teamshelby.com/forums/index.p...c=12545&hl= Thanks for the information. If BMR LCA's fixed your wheel hopp it would have to fix mine as well??? I just love a sure thing. :happy feet: The party sounds like fun. Thanks for the invitation. I will keep an eye on my calender to try to be in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, get out the check book, sign up for OT... that shifter should be cool, from what Ive read, much easier shifts, less missed, etc. Does this mean we can we call you bubble boy!

dave c Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 We too are from the NW and belong to Mustangs Northwest. There is not a lot of modern Shelby's in the club. Would love to see more Shelby owners in the club. We meet the 2nd Friday of the month @North Seattle Comm. College. Great bunch of people. Mustangs Northwest puts on the world's largest Mustang show, 1200-1400 cars at the Round-up in July. If you're a Mustang enthusiast, this is a show you have to see at least once, or every year for that matter. :happy feet: Hope to see you at one of our meetings or one of the shows.
