Michael Morris Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Just got thru loading the Super Snake to deliver it to her NEW owner! Its going to a collector in OH. He has a 07 GT500 with less the 500 miles on it. When we talked about the SS he told me that he wanted something to WIPE a corvette!!! He said he bleeds FORD blue and HATES Chevys!! I believe she is going to a good home and will be with the same owner for years to come. He wants to give the SS to his Grandson when he gets older! Maybe one day if I keep in touch that I might get a chance to buy her back! If not at least she will be somewhere she is appreciated!! MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwbeav Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Sorry MM, I know the car meant a lot to you. However I am convinced SAI will keep making cool cars for years to come and you will fall in love with another Shelby product when things turn around. These are hard times!

I haven't been on this board for a while, but really hate to hear this. What made you decide to sell it. The look of your car is one I always watched when considering the SS package.

One that will be difficult to match. HSURB® Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportscars Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I will let you drive Warren's car anytime you want. Since I hadn't heard anything on this in a while I was hoping you had won the lottery or something. You should come to Texas this fall and I'll buy you a beer or twenty!

SGT/SC2873 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 know it was a tough day MM, but after you and I talked last week know it was the right decision for you. Can't wait to see what you get next! BTW, we made it to Dallas last night and to QP this morning. I absoulutelyLOVE this truck!!! Tows better than anything I have ever had before. Did have a trailer tire blow out at 80mph in Louisiana. Whole 'nother story... Just call us the Grizwalds when it comes to travel....later Craig BTW, did I tell you that I LOVE this truck? :happy feet: :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM I would be devestated as well, but the flip side is that it is a car that they still produce and you will have many chances to buy one again, your family you simply can not replace, you made the right decision. I am glad that I drove down there to see it as I never saw a S.S. here in Michigan yet, or even another KR like mine as far as that goes. I am partial to the blue oval, howwever I love and apprieciate all cars, AMERICAN MADE that is. Look on the bright side Michael as when sales improve you can buy a another one, and I am sure that you will in the not to distant future. I am glad it went to a passionate owner, as you were.

Cali_KR Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Michael....say it ain't so.... The upside, this clears room for the Kona Blue 2010 SS that has been rattling around in your idea bank.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tispco Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Very sad day Sorry you had to sell it. I saw it at the B-Bash before it was converted and I enjoyed following the thread of its trip to Perry after it was Super Snaked. I hope you can get another soon.

GT500Bookends'68'07 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 You are the man...be happy your heart is in the right place. The joy your family brings far outweighs what you get from a hunk of metal. You will have no regrets. When your obligations with your children are done you will find the opportunities to continue your passion with cars and if you are really lucky maybe sooner than that.
