AndyGJ Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Finally brought one home - 08SGT1676. Just the perfect car to justify selling my 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible I've owned for the last 21 years since Sophomore at UGA. It took two months of searching and talking to numerous dealers, but I finally found the Shelby GT just right for my garage. When I found it at the right price, I had to jump (my wife thought I was going to wait a couple more months). It's pretty well loaded. 5 Speed Manual Cloth Conv Top Interior Upgrade Pkg Active Anti Theft Wheel Lock Kit Sirius Radio HID Headlamps - AWESOME! DVD Navigation w/Shaker 500 Ambient Lighting Heated Seats - great for cool Atlanta GA nights Conv Boot Cover I don't know who is more proud - me or my 5 year old son. AndyGJ.

AndyGJ Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Like I said, I don't know who is more excited...me or my son! With four kids, its going to be a continual battle for who rides in the back seat in Dad's car! Everynight, I have to open the door to the garage to check and make sure it's really there and not just a dream. The only casualty is my poor 07 Ford Explorer Limited that has been pushed out of the nice, warm garage from now on. Oh, of course my wallet was a casualty also. Priceless will be the value of the memories that I will have with my two boys tinkering with this beauty over the next 20 plus years. Now if I can just find a hobby for my wife and the two girls....

AndyGJ Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Here is another Picture of the front.... I actually did really well on price...Dealer Invoice (not MSRP) at $36,177 plus Shelby Equipment Pkg ($10,390) for total of $46,567. The dealer either forgot or left out the $1,000 Gas Guzzler Tax. I was able to verify the X-plan price since I'm eligible for X-plan on Ford Partners web site and it was $70 less than the Dealer Invoice price I paid.

Congratulations Andy, I own 08SGT1675 a blue coupe. Coincidentally I also own a 66 vert, however I was fortunate enough to be able to keep it. Owned since high school in '79. The two look great together in the garage. The pic with your son says it all! Enjoy the ride. LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HARALD KELLEY Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Very nice. Love the blue. If I was not into the Hertz cars/program , I would have bought a Blue GT or maybe a Blue KR knowing what the prices are today. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
