philip 87 Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Just finalized the deal for #87. I can't wait to get her home and parked in the garage. Tomorrow I hope. It is understood from the family that if they are looking for me.......I'll be sitting in the garage with the Shelby! Clean as a whistle with 10,880 k miles. I never dreamed I would own a Shelby like this! I am happy to join you all in this wonderful world of SHELBY AMERICAN HISTORY. P.S. Dealer gave me ALL the Hertz paperwork.....Very Cool.

She is pretty in those photos but she will be beautiful in your garage. Where in the country are you located? At least there is no snow in the photos.

clark17357 Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I am in Brooklyn,New York. Get her home quickly! Probably ought to get an extension telephone installed in the garage so, while you are sitting in the car all winter, you don't miss any calls.

philip 87 Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi Someday13. Thanks alot. I really enjoy being a part of this forum Regarding cheaper Shelby GT-H mustangs. I have learned that cheaper is not always better. I did have sveral choices of 5 GT-Hs, all between 33K and 40K but after talking, writing, listening, looking, Etc. I decided to buy this one. In the same range. Did I overpay? I did not post what I paid for it. I feel I paid a fair and reasonable price. The dealer also gave me ALL paperwork including the Manheim auction receipt. I did some investigative work regarding this and was told it is very likely true about it's sale price to the Ford dealer. I don't know for sure. Anyway, If true, the dealer lost a good amount of money. If anyone on this site has input on this topic, please respond as I like listening ahnd learning about all this good stuff. LOL Interestingly, besides the remaining 3 year/36 K remaining warranty this car also comes with a magnificent extended warranty of the complete power train for as long as I own the car and serviced at this dealership. No joke. Went thru all details with dealership and all in Writing. The attachment I posted of the auction was only to shows pics and details. If you check it again,you will see the auction did not meet it's reserve. I have seen a few while searching for one and they were all pretty much 18-25K miles and showing dents and such. This one #87 has 10.8K miles and clean. Thanks, Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustangmoe Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Congratulations on the purchase. I picked up # 374 about a month ago and have enjoyed some nice rides each week. I am sure you will enjoy and I agree I like reading all of the stories about the car's, folks rental details, Upgrades, etc. Keep it clean and out of the snow ! Enjoy !! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip 87 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Thanks Moe! Shortened your name because,ironically,I call everybody Moe! And Congrats to you as well. I am very happy with this car. I plan on some SAI upgrades in time. e.g. billet hood pins, underhood Shelby billet fluid cap set, ect.. No performance mods, just asthetics. Thanks again and Merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
