ShelbyDude Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 A 40th Anniversary Black convertible has showed up on ebay.

Any comments? MSRP on the vert was around $50K. Add $15K for the 40th. That = $65K MSRP I noticed his plate says Sunrise Ford. I think they were getting $15K to $20K over on their GT500's. So he probably has somewhere between $75K - $85K into it. What does having Shelby's signature added do for the value? I wonder what his reserve is set at?

ShelbyDude Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 In his add he tells what number his car was in the order of verts built. How does he know this? Mine is # 1,260 of 8,150 Coupes Built and # 163 of 1,054 Vista Blue Coupes Built Call SVT and they will tell you the build number. They will also sell you a certificate for your car.

GT500_Grad Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Does the certs have this info in them or do you have to ask them specifically for them? Also If I recall correctly one of the 14 who got their cars done in the beginning of November actually had 2 cars, so he maybe selling one of them.

ratco Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 The certs give you the build number or the car... For instance mine was 1179 of 2694 convertibles. The cert also gives you the number of your car by color. For instance, mine was 332 of 858 ebony convertibles. According to my chart, there was 8,150 coupes built. SVT will also include a color, trim and stripe breakdown of all 2007 combinations built. Also, per my knowledge, the certs are available only for the 2007 model at this time.

It's nice that youpay $40 for a cert and Ford doesn't even know the right number of ebony verts on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratco Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 The auction closed at $ 75,200.00. Reserve not met... I thought that there would be a little more action than 2 bids.. Oh well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice that youpay $40 for a cert and Ford doesn't even know the right number of ebony verts on the road. I wish they could go a bit more in detail, ie. number of cars with stripes and interior color combinations. Also I've heard of build sheets for other cars going into a lot more detail. Like when the parts where put in and where they came from. oh well beggars can't be choosers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
