1970boss302 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 With Ford making the Shelby GT500 though 2010 model year everyone who wants one should have a chance. That's 40 to 50 thousand cars on the road a hell of a lot more than the older SHelby's. It may ruin the sell value down the road. It maybe a better value to buy a Shelby GT or Boss if they make it . Time will tell it always does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelby111 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 It is not about being selfish or not wanting others to have it. It is like a pretty girl. If you see her everyday, it is not quite as exciting as the first few times you saw her. I think the resale value has some importance to owners. Not so much for the investment or because they want them to be unaffordable to others, but as a gage to measure how much the Shelby is appreciated by others and to validate our good taste and judgement.

DubbsFaris Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Umm, I don't recall anyone saying there would be a GT500 for 2009 or 2010... Shelby may have a contract to work with Ford through 2010, but that doesn't mean they have to produce GT500s My guess is maybe a GT350 for next year, and who knows...maybe they have something completely new up their sleeves. This is ALL speculation, but if you are trying to make FORD, Shelby and the dealers the MOST money, you give the people something new. A flood of GT500s over the next two or three years doesn't do that. But if you are gonna nitpick this conversation to death, 20 thousand GT500s isn't what I would call EXCLUSIVE anyway. So quit fussing and go kick some Z06 butt people! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyDude Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Did I miss something here? When was the official announcement made? Don't need one. All you need is to understand how Ford works. They will bleed this thing dry until they have nothing left and completely destroy a good thing.

My apology. I'm just surprised we're STILL having this argument. Especially from someone in Los Angeles. If YOU think you won't see another GT500 in your area you're going to be dissapointed. CA got the largest # of GT500's in 2007 if I remember correctly. Yes you have a large poplulation, but still - please don't think this was supposed to be a rare car by any means.

OK Joe, But try to explain that to the many who paid INSANE ADMs for this car who believed the lies and deception they got from many Ford Dealerships. Im not trying to dig up old topics here but I am trying to state my point that as an SVT engineered car it has been advertised as an EXCLUSIVE LOW PRODUCTION CAR. No offence taken but I have had some DENSE moments sometimes.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not trying to dig up old topics here but I am trying to state my point that as an SVT engineered car it has been advertised as an EXCLUSIVE LOW PRODUCTION CAR. No offence taken but I have had some DENSE moments sometimes.......... I understand. Trust me, I do. Some didn't care about the ADM's because it allowed them to drive their cars a full year before some who waited for a good deal (like me!!) To them, the price was worth it. I got my car for MSRP. If you would have asked most here last year if that was a "good deal" most would say hell yeah! Today, with the possibililty of 2009 and beyond - who knows. Will I be pissed if someone gets one for $500 over invoice next year? Hell no! I paid a price that I was comfortable with and drove mine a year longer than those guys did. Who cares what THEY paid for their car? Some fell for the dealer "marketing" that was spun about "exclusivity" "investment" "better get it now because they'll never make them again" hype. Others didn't. Your phrase "advertised as an EXCLUSIVE LOW PRODUCTION CAR" is just that - advertising. Come on - ALL products do it. Define for me "exclusive" or "low production". I don't think there's a universal definition for them. If you haven't already, go to the GT500 "For sale" section and read the ADM thread... if you didn't want to drown your sorrows before, you will after reading THAT thread! I just get frustrated when the same issues get brought up over and over and over and over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDT Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I understand. Trust me, I do. didn't want to drown your sorrows before, you will after reading THAT thread! I just get frustrated when the same issues get brought up over and over and over and over... I have read the thread for info. and entertainment without drowning in anyones sorrows. I did pay a small ADM to get my factory order car with no regrets as it is the best ROCKET SHIP I have ever driven........... As for your FRUSTRATION about bringing up old issues; Its good to see you can still laugh about it???????????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
