akcahill Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 The new baby was delivered yesterday afternoon at 2:15pm. 3920lbs and 187.6" long; she is beautiful! We took it to our hometown last night and added 200 miles to the odometer. It's great on the highway, quiet cruiser, but a beast when you want.

carnut Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Don't you just love that red/black interior. Looks like mine. I wonder what the percentage of colors is, bet red with over the top and red/blk interior is in a commanding lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill0754 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Congrats!! Just like mine too!! Awesome cars....worth the wait.....even though it's been long.

rmustgt Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Hey AKCahill!!! Congratulations on the new GT500!!! I still can't believe that I just happened to be at the Wendy's in Upper Sandusky when you hit the drive-through!!! I was shocked when my son exclaimed"Hey Dad, there's a Shelby!!!!!" Anyway, it was nice to meet you and your wife in person. I hope you enjoy your new toy. And hopefully mine gets here soon!!! I'll let you know when mine arrives.

It was nice to meet you and your boy as well! Give me a ring when you want to go for a ride. We are pleased with everything about the car. It is actually better than I have been day dreaming about for the last 13 months. The red inserts really set off the interior and I am glad that my wife was so adamant about that option. The shaker 1000 is worth every penny. I have heard the comment from both my father and my father-in-law that they haven't been in a car like that since the big Hemi's back in the day. The car is a blast to drive and I will be starting a tire fund very soon. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First husband/wife exchange on the forum that I can remember. At least it was over a cool subject like tires instead of something like this...

raw power Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 We live a NW suburb of Columbus...bought it here, too; nobody in Dayton would work with you? Actually I bought it in Dayton, Eastgate Ford, but they sold the dealership and the transfer is Sept.1st. According to them, the new owner does not have to abide by the contract I have, which I think is bull , but whatever. So they are delivering the car to their affiliated dealer in Westlake. The nice guys they are said they would drive the car to me to which my response was So they agreed to ship the car on a private truck to my house. I found that acceptable.

The truck option is the way to go for sure, but just make sure you can examine the car thoroughly. Like many on these boards, we had a damaged rim that is being replaced. Many have had air dam damage, but the wheel was our only problem. Make sure can crawl underneath before they leave with your signature! Best of luck!

The beer in hand (it's on tap! ) helped him get through the last few weeks as Ford kept changing the ETA. He had to pout through his birthday last week before it showed up ... We have not had a Mustang in the household since a '93 convertible that we sold to buy our first house, so it's overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow that's a nice b-day present So what is he getting you for your b-day? That's to funny, my b-day is Sept.9th and the car is supposed to get to the dealer Sept.7th, so we'll see how that works out.

The shipper is replacing mine also! Missed it when I picked it up but found it the same day. If you ship, check the rims carefully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
