BillyRay Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Friends, Here in Phx I seen my 1st GT500 in Aug 2006, now its been alittle over 1 yr and to date I've seen 5-coupes and 1- convt. ( coupes) 2- black W/ silver stripes 1- White W/ Vista stripe 1- Red W/ white stripe 1- Alloy W/ silver stripe (Convt) 1- Red convt. W/ stripe delete My buddies say when you going to get a Z-06 Corvette, I had owned over 8- C-4,s. I tell them not anytime soon because they are way to common!!!! I like the fact when I pull out my Rocket you're lucky to even get a glimpse of this Grabber Orange sex machine. It does bring a few questions and onlookers while filling up for gas. I guess the high ADM,s really has the Shelby owners at a minority!!! So I guess you could say ADM stands for: ****Awesome Dream Machine***** Lets Roll.....Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srk1959 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Ha! Ha! Excluding the 3 I saw at the Soreens ford show I have see only 2 on the road. Neither even noticed or aknowledged me when we passed each other. I had my black vert, guess it doesn't stand out real well until you are right up on it. The two I saw (1) Vista blue/white (1) Grabber Orange/ tungsten. They were both north of Milwaukee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLB8SNK Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I probably see more than most, just because I live in MI, about 20 miles from the plant and 25 from Ford HQ. I have seen them prior to build, and probably have three within a few blocks of where I live, just because I happen to live in a Ford Exec area ha-ha! But still love to see them!

mciarochi Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I saw a Red / White convertible at a dealer. I saw a used Black / Tungsten at a broker. I was talking to the broker about the used one, and he introduced me to a Ford dealer. I went to the Ford dealer the next day, and drove away with the third GT500 I ever saw. I later saw a White / Tungsten at the same dealer I bought mine. I've never seen one on the road, except from the inside when I'm driving. Seen a few SGTs and one GT-H. After I saw the GT-H on the road a couple years ago, I hunted down what it was. Heard and read about the GT-500, and started saving $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mciarochi Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Oh. I've seen a bunch of the vintage GT350 and GT500's, but they've been around an extra thirty or forty years, so it's not a fair comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live on an island as well, smaller, only 10K people. In between the US and Canada, in the mouth of lake Erie. How is that weather where you are at? I need to move south, was thinking Carolina's as I love the ocean, but a nice lake will do just fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Here in Oregon & Washington I have never seen one on the road or in a parking lot.

SteelSteeds Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I've only seen one on the road, aside from get-togethers. That one was red with white, headed toward the coast.

Secondo Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Here in CT I've only seen about 4 on the road in a year. I've only seen one of each Grabber Orange with white stripes, Vista Blue with white, Torch Red with white and another Torch Red with black stripes. Also I've seen about five of them at the Mustangs Unlimited car show because most of them were from Stangs Unleashed here and wanted to meet member 'SexyStang' LOL My local dealer here is getting a white one on Friday- I am going then to check it out. Always liked the white with blue stripes.... I love that "'Awesome Dream Machine! " Good form!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt50035 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 In Columbus, Ohio in 14 months since I have owned my GT500, I have seen 1 Red/White, 1 Black/Red Stripe Package, 1 White/Blue and that is it. For a city of about 1.8 million metro area population I think that is pretty rare. Tons of vettes though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timtnt Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I saw a red/white on the show room floor, a white/blue on a car hauler in nashville. In Louisville I saw a blue/white and a dark gray/silver on the street. In Jackson, Mississippi I saw a black convertible at a dealer. I've also seen one white Shelby GTS on the show room floor and a Black GTS on the Street in Nashville. One Black Shelby GTS in Atlanta. I've seen four 2006 Hertz Shelby coupes, and one 2008 Hertz convertible at Nashville BNA airport. and, I've seen one Hertz coupe at the airport on the big island in Hawaii. I've seen too many to count in my dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I've seen a bunch at dealerships, and about 20 or so at the S197 Orlando meet in May. But on a day to day basis, I've only seen 3 others. Met a guy with a white/blue coupe that lives around the corner. He turned out to be the "Angel Flight" pilot for a young girl we know who has bone cancer (osteosarcoma). I saw a grabber coupe in a parking lot but never saw the owner. I pulled in next to it and snapped some shots with my cell phone camera, but they turned out ugly. Then on Monday I was sitting in my suv in a parking lot on the phone with my wife. I look up at the Burger King drive-thru across the way and there's MY car! I said "go to the garage! Is my car there?" She says, "uhhh, YEAH." So I pulled around next to him and gave him the thumbs-up. He said he had just got it a week ago. I complemented his choice and told him it was weird seeing someone else in MY car. LOL I figured I would have seen a lot more than 3 by now, especially given the amount of GT500s that have been "supposedly" sold by the dealers here.

YZD263 Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 0 ..........I did run with a group of 20+ this summer at the S197 get together. Nothing on the road anywhere else. B) +1. Besides the Dearborn meet and another local meet here in Quebec City where I saw 5, I have not seen one yet on the road. Since winter has begun around here (forecast is 8 inches of snow for tomorrow), I'm almost certain not to see any before next April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Burgess 28060 Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I have yet to see one on the road (besides the beautiful perf white w/ vista blue stripes hood over which I'm looking). I did pass a SGT once (black) and saw 2 GT500s at a local car show (red w/white coupe, red vert). That's it and I've got 7000 miles on her.

6-Speed Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Since July 2006, I have seen two red with white stripes and a tunsten one in the Phoneix area. Someone had rear-ended the tungsten one pretty good in the right-rear corner. Seen 2 Shelby GT-H and one Shelby GT. I have seen a few clones too.

sbornitz Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I bought my car just outside of Madison WI. While living there I only saw one other 500 on the road. As it turned out it was my mechanic bringing it back from a dyno and taking it to a customizer for a customer. In July I moved to LaCrosse WI and have only seen 2 here. From talking to people it was rare that I saw 2 around here. I must be a rare owner as I will take mine out anytime (snow excluded). In the 4 1/2 months I had the car I put over 5K on it. The car is just too much fun to leave at home! But now I am sad as I have both the 95 GT and the 500 tucked in the garage for the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
