scylla6 Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Saw this today down back in a dealers warehouse. Looks like a lightweight or something GT500. Skunkworks or stripped down? Looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark17357 Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Most likely, this is a regular GT500 with top and side stripe deletes. Anyone else have another sense of this? Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500's (in my opinion) NEED at least the side stripe to look "right" to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim A year ago, I was #2 on a list and was called (as #1 fell out) to purchase an Ebony Coupe with NO stripes whatsoever. It is NOT common, but they do exist... the Ebony car looked kinda cool in a Stealth kind of way...throw some black rims on her... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scylla6 Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Just kidding, it's mine. Car was just offloaded from the truck. In about an hour I go to pick it up. Long time as I ordered it back in June! Can't wait! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scylla6 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Just picked it up this morning and brought it home. Nice drive, about an hour. The wife in the subie kept up, surprised the heck out of me but then agin the roads were wet and some snow so I did not go nuts. Much as I wanted to of course. All went well and the dealer kept his word, msrp, $43975, not a penny more. I thanked him and said I'd be back for the next one. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkShadow Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 A year ago, I was #2 on a list and was called (as #1 fell out) to purchase an Ebony Coupe with NO stripes whatsoever. It is NOT common, but they do exist... the Ebony car looked kinda cool in a Stealth kind of way...throw some black rims on her... Yes they do exist, and I have have one of 'em. I'm all about stealth mode. With stripes, it just screams "hey look at me'! Without 'em...nobody knows what it is until they get right on top of you and see the snakes and stuff. I am however considering alloy side stripes. It will enhance the look and still can't be seen from the front or rear.

Zan186 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Yes but isn't that the point? I mean seriously, why do you think Exotic cars look so Exotic? Yet I agree the most disappointing thing about the GT500 is that the stripes are Vinyl and stickers. On a 20k or 30k car I would expect that, but on a 45k car it should be paint. The GT500 I bought has the over the top delete but still has the side sticker. Gonna probably get stripes painted as it just looks better and lasts longer. Wonder if they can paint the side sticker as well. Ya think there is a template for it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006GT500 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Great looking car. My car is very stealthy with the black with alloy stripes. Most the time you can hardly see the stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swathen Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Great looking car. My car is very stealthy with the black with alloy stripes. Most the time you can hardly see the stripes. I have to agree the stripes should probably have been painted on at this price level. Harley-Davidson licensed their wet-on-wet paint process to Ford so they could paint the flames on the 2005 Harley-Davidson F-350. I tell you what, they look awesome, so much better than stickers! That is a flame job...how hard could it be to paint on some stripes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post pics eventually, but for now she's safe under cover. You are in MA somewhere right? Maybe we can get together sometime in the spring.
