So, we have Valencia Orange cars? ...

 

Glenn

 

Yea, I found that out first week I had it. Wanted touch up paint for where I drag the chin, parts guy told me...

U3 is Valencia Orange.

This months Mustang Monthly has an article explaining Ford's "Grabber" cars from the '70's. More of a marketing strategy than a color.

Can pretty much guess the new "Grabber" Blue is actually Powder Puff Blue! lol

 

 

Oh, BTW...

That has to be 1 of 1, have not heard of another with the glass top option. I was at the museaum in August, but that place was empty and missing some cars.

 

 

I BELIEVE YOU ARE CORRECT ON THE 1 OF 1. I DO NOT KNOW IF CLASSIC DESIGN

 

CONCEPTS DID THIS ONE FOR SAI OR SAI INSTALLED IT THEMSELVES. BUT I KNOW

 

OF NO OTHER GLASSTOP SHELBY GT-C PRODUCED.

Thought I would show off the latest mods to my SGT-C. First are the driving lights that I thought I would put next to the lower grille like on my Vista Blue convertible. That location didn't work out with the supercharger intercooler so they went behind the grille. This was an easy install using Freestyle foglamp assemblies on some homemade brackets with stainless screws and nylon standoffs. The wiring connectors are available from Ford as a crash repair part. The pock marked grille was just replaced under warranty by Shelby. Wnenn

We were at a monthly cruise in and ran into the " YouTube Specialist" of anything wheels. He loves to video tape. We bought the car from a California dealer near the LAX airport and had it shipped to Sun State Ford here in Orlando, Florida. Way back 2 years ago the California dealers didn't want to sell or deal with me. They knew they had something hot. But the sad thing is that many haven't sold and are getting damaged being in the weather everyday. Anyway, Take alook at the clip. This guy is a car nut and has over 1000 vids.

AFBLUE, you can now add me to your list.... 08SGT0007. (You may recall me as the owner of 07SGT0022 that Adam O'Dwyer wrote the song about - it is the white car with silver interior (not the standard interior found on most SGT's) Rich

 

 

Add me to the list

 

SGT080128, purchesed October 10,2009. 200 miles on it.

GT-C 080101 lives in Columbia Mo, I met him while I was picking up my car last week. I sent him a PM on the shelbyfourms website, hopefully he will show up here.
