requis Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I'm pretty sure Shelby got #13? How do you figure Dave? It looked like it was part of the ceremony first the Orange coupe off the line then Shelby's Black vert. Insiders want to know!

indymustang Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I'm pretty sure Shelby got #13? He may of got car #13, but what I'm trying to say is he got the second car which hit the street. If he got car #13 then mine was car #495 according to the vin numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to take credit for 'being in the know', however, it was Son of GT that first made mention of Mr. Shelby acquiring Shelby #13. http://www.stangsunleashed.com/forums/inde...?showtopic=1791 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he got car #13 then mine was car #495 according to the vin numbers. Ah don't be so modest Amily! For all of us here you are still #1! Regardless, I'd be surprised if Mr Shelby or Mr Pratt have even 'officially' taken delivery of their GT500's. The Key Ceremony at AAI was more than likely for show only. Both Shelby and Pratt may have one of the first GT500's produced, according to VIN order, but I wouldn't be surprised if Your Shelby was THE first Shelby registered privately in the USA!! One interesting thing. If you go to this Site's GT500 Registry page and scroll down, there's a member named barbarron who's posted a photo with his/her wife/husband and their Shelby! http://www.stangsunleashed.com/forums/inde...tem&CID=138 He/She has posted that they took delivery of their Shelby on June 26th somewhere in Kentucky. Who is this Elusive barbarron and why has he/she not come forward to this Forum to share their tale of GT500 ownership? Somebody PM this person immediatley!!

Joe G Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 If he got car #13 then mine was car #495 according to the vin numbers. You can't say anything about your car's "place in line" by the VIN number. See Five Oh B's explanation of this a while back if you want more info. Basically, the VIN's are assigned across the whole product line (the VIN's next to yours may have been a V6 or a GT/CS) and are NOT produced consecutively.

cobra76 Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 I would question that with Your sweet little collection, JBJ, does it matter?!? Like I said, just curious if I am getting robbed. I just feel that I should have gotten a better deal with the business I do at the dealership, but I wanted the car so badly and I felt safer doing it at my usual dealer than on Ebay or what not. Thanks for the compliment on the collection. My father helped my build it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68fastback Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hey, Amily... whatcha doing in here? .... I expected to never hear from ya again once you got behind the wheel of that vista-blue beauty ;-) ------------------------ Snif, snif... yep... that red one... there's french fries in there! ------------------------- I hope you don't mind... I asked your bro if he'd take a couple of pix for me of the pedals (to see if good for heel-toe driving) and kneeroom to the steering column with the seat all the way back.... those are the only two things I am hoping has improved over my '01 Cobra (oh, and the 500 horses... priceless!) I checked out orangesnake's restaurant online -- very cool... my son-in-law is a chef and wants to move back here to upstate NY (from NV) and open a small restaurant/luncheonette/deli. I keep telling them it's a bunch of hard work -- actually I'm looking forward to helping them (this way I get to see my grandaughter every day We're all so happy for you -- hope you're enjoying the Shelby every chance you get!

68fastback Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 You forgot to add ....while driving a 2007 Shelby GT 500 ...but of course it would be cool to be able to tell your dealer your car is coming in while you're on your way to see it! We already have BMWs talking to you when you're due for service (the car, that is ;-) ) And GM's whole strategy with On*Star was to get the customer to pay for the communications service so they can eventually diagnose your car as you drive and direct service business to their dealers. It's only a mattter of a few years before we start seeing mobile broadband start a wider rollout as WiMax start coming online -- Motorola just bought out it's major hardware competitor in that arena. Then we can post stuff here (with speech recognition) while commuting to work The world sure will be different in 10 years. A little scary sometimes. "Mr Coldwater, your car told us twice today that at 8.5 lb boost it only developed 499.23HP -- your appointment is scheduled for... call 1-800-got-chaa or clearly speak ' you' while depressing the IM key if you cannot keep that appointment -- thank you for using On*Star" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyHorse Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 I just got back from taking pictures. They turned out a little dark. Going to put them on disc. Dealerships close at 6pm and on Sundays so we wont have the car till monday or so. I should have the pictures on here by tonight. Holy sh: censored:t it is an awesome sweet beautiful car!!!!! Here are a couple....takes long to load.... I will have more by 10 ish closing time at restaurant. I need to put a plug in for the guys at Butler Ford Warehouse in Indianapolis. Great guys to do business with. This is my second car and my sisters second car buying from these folks. They will shoot straight with you and no b.s. If you want to buy a car they will make it happen. Iam hearing some bad business from lots of other Ford dealers and customers. ie taking deposits and promising cars 1st, 2nd, 3rd on list then turning around and selling them to highest bidder!!!!! The folks at Butler Ford Warehouse are people of their word. Looks sick w/ the stripe delete option! Get out there and waste a GTO, vette, camaro SS......
