captdave Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I thought the 2008 GT500 conv didn't come with factory over the top stripes? I just saw a new 2008 GT500 conv black ext / black-red int with red LeMans stripes just like the coupe. Is this something new? CaptDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilman Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Just alittle off subject, but has anyone seen the Supersnake striping pattern on a stock GT500?Primarily interested in how these stripes would look on the hood where the heat extractors do come into play.

captdave Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 This is the only picture we got of a white one last week at the Florida Car Show.... Was that car factory stripes over the top? Car looked nice in white. Saw a black conv at the dealer in FL yesterday with the stripes. Really nice. I will have to see if any of these are coming to NJ.

CaptDave All American Ford in Hackensack has one. I don't want to disappoint you; but it won't be MSRP. Their phone # is 201-487-6700. Ask for Jeff Rogan. Tell him Jim Sheehan sent you. Good guy, I used to work there with him years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robandreg Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Is the one in NJ black or white? CaptDave Sorry to chime in late, but I got an early '08 vapor/ebony (8/22/07) vert that I had the dealership buy me the ott stripes, because the wording in the order book, which was very vague, (they didn't know if the verts came w/ott stripes or not; nobody did, I informed them through this site) and as a result of my order, Ford supposedly re-worded the order application. I paid to have the OTT stripes applied to the car, as opposed to painting them on. I wanted to keep it stock, but I had to have the stripes, and I intend to enjoy it to the fullest, as long as I own it , (which will be forever).

BCPD199 Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Is the one in NJ black or white? It's black with all available options. ADM was listed at 10K over. You can probaly get them down to 5K. They wouldn't do MSRP for me. That's why I ended up buying mine in Indiana. Good luck, sharp looking color combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
