ati Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I need to trailer my GT500 home from 150 miles away. A friend has an open trailer I can borrow but I need to make sure the door on the Shelby will open over the fender of the trailer. Would someone please check a few dimensions for me? 1) What is the height from the ground (street) to the bottom of the door? 2) What is the over all width from the outside of the right front tire to the outside of the left front tire? Thanks, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Alan Alan on my shelby with stock height and stock tires, outside to outside of front tires was 73". on partly open door, 11 1/2" clearance at rear of door (toward back of car) and 10 1/2" under door towards the front. hope this helps you out John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPRSNK Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 You could always leave the window down and climb out the window. I have to do this on my trailer. The door is too low to get over the wheel fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to be close. If I screw a 12" wide x 3/4" thick strip of plywood down at the tire tracks and drive on that it will lower the fender height to 9-1/4". That will give me a little extra clearance. Thanks for the Measurements, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCMO-GT500 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 anything for a friend :happy feet: remember, the part of the door you are most concerned about is the part with the highest clearance. I bet you will be ok. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAD SNAKE Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 If all else fails. I saw a guy on this site that crawled through his trunk to get in and out of his car. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
