CASEY HILL 14998 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I got one when they first came out. Nice to have, but disappointed. Its a bunch of pictures and emails. Looks like one of those books you can make at Kodak using your own pictures. I think they did this just to satisfy us and make a few bucks. I looked at it once and now it is in my trunk. I hope someone comes along and publishes a proper book. My two cents. Casey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope someone comes along and publishes a proper book. My two cents. Casey While I was pretty disappointed also, I looked at it again the other day and took it for what it was. Eventhough it is just pictures and e-mails, those pictures and e-mails give a great story of how quickly this entire program came together. It's pretty rare that you will get that type of internal comunication in such a public format. I'm very glad that Amy at least took the time to put that information together for us. Now that we know how limited the publication was on this, it would probably be good to take pretty good care of this book! This is really a great compilation of the beginings of this program. I agree that someday a book could be done. With all the info from this site, the book, all the magazines it's quite a story. Problem is, with only a 1,000 copies of the GT-H in total, the book certainly wouldn't be a best seller!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know cause I spent years trying to recreate the story, pics and interviews for the 68 california special mustang (less than 4000 made). Thanks Jeff.

russell 06H304 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Seems like there might be enough intrest in these books to print some more copies, I was not aware that it was limited to just a few copies and also did not get either book. Being a GT-H and SGT owner would be interested in buying both books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a GT-H and SGT owner would be interested in buying both books. There are a lot of Hertz and GT-H specific items out there that will disappear over time. Other items, include the various national magazine articles, the SAAC club magazine with the GT-Hs on the cover, press release photos / cards, GT-H specific Sirius Radio guide, 2006 Hertz Corp Annual Report with a picture of the GT-H, the "Hertz World" employee magazine with the 2006 GT-H on the cover, the two 24x36 GT-H 2006 Hertz Corp posters, GT-H Hertz executive specific packaged 1:18 die cast car, the two versions of the GT-H hat (both very rare already) , the 1:64 SAI issued GT-H die cast cars, plastic "Hertz" key tags, Hertz GT-H magazine ads, Hertz ad video with Carroll Shelby, "40th anniversary" GT-H trunk emblems (super rare), 2006 GT-H "40th Anniversary" floor mats-black with gold stripes (still available from SAI), GT-H decals with the Berg snake, GT-H radio control car, GT-H 1:24 plastic model kit. I probably forgot some items but would recommend using Ebay search item "Hertz" or GT-H" to find some of these items or visit the Shelby Performance Parts site as some of the items are still available. Good luck hunting. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck hunting. Larry I 100% agree, these items are getting more difficult to find, can someone scan a copy of the SAAC club magazine with the GT-H on the cover? better yet is someone has an extra and is interested in selling or trading for it let me know I have a pretty good collection of GT500, Shelby GT and GT350 magazines that may be of interest.

SGT-C0056 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Yes $200 is much, dont remember what they sold for. SA: If you are reading this, you should RE-PRINT say 50 to 100 copies, I guarantee you you can sell them for $100 each. Hell, sell me the license for reprint and I will give 25% back to Carroll's Foundation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJ Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Wow, crazy. Almost makes me want to sell mine. NOT! It's just getting dusty in the garage. I can't believe the MPH magazine is going for that kind of money also. I know a few people at Shelby said that this book will never go back to print. I guess I better keep better care of mine.
