IM 500HP Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I've been dreaming about this car since I was 10, when I was delivering the LA Times on my paper route every morning in Torrance, California. I'd see it every morning with it's scoops and big tires. To me it was so out of reach. Now I have it. I picked it up December 8th. It's taken me this long to stop looking at it and post. Life is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digibean Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 My second choice was your color combo...I would have been happy with either (mine is vapor w/ black stripes). I know what you mean by getting your dream car. I've been researching this particular model since the prototype first came out. Also had a friend back in the 70s who's dad had a 67 Elanor that I never thought I would ever come close to having. It's a great feeling. I still can't go more than an hour without looking out the window at my GT500. This is just plain worship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torquewrench1807 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 ALLOY with Satin Silver Stripes I too have dreamed for a cool car for a long time. Your car looks great with the lower tail end and the painted Shelby style side scoop. In Jan 2008 I saw alloy/satin silver in Las Vegas, license plate read 'PACIFIC.' It had GT500 wheels and the rear end had not been lowered. Please let me know where you purchased the 18x9/18x10 GT40 style Wheels. I could not find them on Carroll Shelby Wheels or tirerack. I would like to keep the ride as smooth as possible, staying with an 18" wheel rather than 20", but need a wheel that fits big brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
