KP GT 500 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Hey CWHR, How is the quality of the stripes? On my bro's red with white stripes the overlap is very obvious up close, but not a problem at more than 10 feet. I picked his up while he was on vacation and drove it a little for him he was really cool about it, but he should have been I found the car and put him in line before me. Your colors are the same as mine will be. I have been waiting since order date of 5/15 and the dealer is estimating a delivery in late January based on his converstaions with the regional manager. Congrats on the delivery. I just hope the color combo is more impressive in real life just like the red/white. KP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpretzel Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 OK folks.... here's what you have been asking for.

Congrats on the delivery. I just hope the color combo is more impressive in real life just like the red/white. KP I had only 2 areas of concern. The main one being on the rear of the car. The over lap was 1" to 1 1/2" & I pointed that out & I'm still waiting for an answer as to if it will be redone. The other was a Tiny nick on the leading edge of the hood above the front bumper & I'm waiting for an answer on that also. Like you said if you stand back 5 to 10 feet you can't see it & I don't want to piss them off anymore then I have because I got it for MSRP. It might not 100% perfect but I can settle for 99.98%. I will post close up photos hopefully over the weekend so you can see what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a sweet looking ride. Rob Thanks Rob. I have additional photos from the Detroit Auto show I could post or email them to you later if you like? It’s the same color, Performance White Clearcoat with Vista Blue Stripes. Everyday before I ordered it I was changing my mind. I went to area Ford dealers all around looking for base colors to help me choose on actual mustangs. The bottom line is I had (3) favorite color combos & until I sat down to order it, I didn't even know for sure. I just remembered falling in love with the Red, White & Blue look while looking at the rear of the car & saying to myself..... That's It! The American colors on a American Car! Plus when I pass everyone they will know what they were passed bye. Now throw in the black accents of the grille, side mirrors, hood heat extractors, mini mud flaps, the lower rocker panels, front air-splitter, the rear air diffuser; and that sets off or shows off almost every single detail of the car & to me that says it's definitely a Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCMO-GT500 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I drove four hours to see the white w/blue stripes at the st. louis car show. After seeing it up close, and taking about a zillion photos, I could never see myself ending up with any other combination. If anyone ever wants some photos of that combo, I might have a couple :happy feet: :happy feet: :happy feet: favorite car show photos, teenager with camcorder in back of one is my then 16 yr old son, he has always been real supportive of my efforts to get a shelby, think maybe he wants to drive it to school once or twice?? sorry for the large size of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69deluxe Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 CWH, Thanks for the pics! That was my second color combo behind the red/white. White/blue looks fantastic. How's the factory tint (if any) of the windows? I plan on taking it to the legal limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originaly ordered alloy with silver stripes but changed the order after seeing photos of the white with blue stripes Now that I have the white w/blue in the garage, I can't imagine having any other color. Your right, everyone that comes near the car imediately recognizes it as a Shelby. I love all the other colors, except maybe the orange, but i beleive the white w/blue is THE color.

RUFDRAFT Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Just finished watching Nicolas Cage destroy a perfectly good Mustang. Thanks, man, but I'm afraid since my recently-adopted daughter is in her second year of high school, I'm stayin' put! Plus - I've got to admit - I've grown to like the lack of snow!

But it feels good to know you'd like me up in your 'hood! The Mid West Loves everyone, but not everyone loves the Mid West. I forgot to mention that in Kalamazoo, MI. if you live in the city limits they have a fund that says your kid can goto any MIchigan College for free...YES,I SAID FREE! check it out, it could save you lots of money & you could teach in the Great Lakes State. Personally I love all 4 seasons & the deeper the snow the better, unless I'm waiting for my Shelby.... Thanks goodness it came in between snow storms, being White in color they may have never found it in the transit area for shipment during a heavy snow fall & then I would have had to wait until spring to find it.

Congrats! enjoy the ride, and if you ever drive to vegas, come and see us Amy Thanks Amy that means a lot coming form you. Hope you read some of my stories to capture my true sense of the feeling of what it means to me owning this car. I am on your list & Roush's list for info. Steve did call me & said he would be calling back in a 2-3 weeks with more info & pricing. Now on the other side of the street the Roush boys are haven't even bothered to call or send any info to me & that makes your customer service relations dept up one over them. At the End of the 1st quarter it’s Shelby Auto Inc. 1 Roush Performance 0 For what it is worth take as long as you want to price the options package and as long as the price keeps coming down the better the odds of me being able to afford both the package & the trucking cost to ship it there & back to have the modifications done. (here's a thought) Have you looked into any trucking companies (like the ones used at classic car auctions like BJ & Kruse International) for special pricing discounts for picking up customers cars in the same geographic locations that are interested to help the customer out on this area?
