JeffJ Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 :happy feet: :happy feet: I finally found the right one to pull the trigger on. This Friday I'll be flying from Denver, CO to Evansville, Indiana to drive home 06 GTH 102. I was going to have it shipped, but the weather is looking good this weekend so I thought that I'd just drive! I've been looking at most of them that are out on the market right now. This was one of the least expensive that I could find but also in much better shape than many that I have looked at for much more money. The dealership I'm going to already spent quite a bit on the car getting it up to par. They have done some re-paint on the front and back bumpers where there were scratches and have restriped it already. Many that I was looking at needed restriped badly. It has been on their show room floor since they have done all the work. It has 23K miles, but in better shape than others I've seen with many less miles. I know, the wheels are wrong. The stock ones were scraped and scuffed, so they put new wheels and tires on it. However, they used the new bright silver rather than the correct charcoal ones. At lease that is simply remedied as I already have a set of the correct wheels. I'm also going to go with 20" black razors here very soon. Here's some pics as it sits on the show room floor. I'll take more on my way home and when I get it here. Does anybody know what the 47 number is in the passenger side door jamb? Is that a number that perhaps the San Diego Hertz used for something?

GTH391 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Congrats with the purchase. Looks good and you will enjoy it. Try to hold it back on the way home. It could get expensive out there. I'm not sure what the 47 means. Maybe a Hertz person in the know can respond. Just don't take it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJ Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I made it home this morning with no problems at all. A little over 1100 miles in a little less than 14 hours. I just went ahead and drove through the night after I picked it up from Expressway Ford last night around 8:00 pm. Well, the mystery for the 47 sticker above is no more. When I was cleaning it up a bit when I got home, I found the below sticker behind the filter. Company out of San Diego called Agent 47 looks like they must have rented this car. They do have a photo of a Hertz on their web site, I'm guessing #102. With their stikers attached, I'm assuming that they pushed this car pretty hard. That's the fun of this, isn't it? I will not remove their stickers as that is now part of the car's history. I sent Agent 47 an e-mail to see if they have any other info or pictures for me. I'll send you my info here shortly Dennis. Here she is home in my disaster of a shop. I'm in the middle of building the below garage and home for the Shelby. I guess I better get busy and get it done now.

JeffJ Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Agent 47 got back in touch with me. They actually didn't thrash on this car. They couldn't find a Shelby GT to do some development off of, so they just used a Hertz car, my #102, to do some development on for parts. Here's their Shelby GT brake cooling scoops. Interesting any how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobleyr Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Jeff, I was wondering the same on yours. Oh well. A question for any one. On replacing the decals {Gold Stripes}; which will be a total replacement of the hood, trunk, front & rear bumpers and sides. If I use replacement decals from Shelby does this make the car lose any valve? The present decals are faded from the Florida sun where she was a rental. I want to bring her back to a new look and before I do this want to ensure I am not stepping on her valve. Thanks in advance! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
