08BLACKVERT Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) Welcome!!! Good looking machine....out here you'd be called a "tech-ie" for the color combo. I can't recall how many red and black verts they made, I'll have to see if I have that file somewhere. Did you receive an SVT certificate with it? Black and Red are Texas Tech colors. Thanks, I think there were 131 Black Convertibles with the Red Stripes produced in 2008. All with Black tops. I do not have an SVT Certificate, how can I get one? 2008 Production numbers: My link Edited November 5, 2011 by 08BLACKVERT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigFIsh Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hi my name is Jaye. My current ride a track toy supercharged Miata. Came into some money and wanted to get something unique, that had a different character than my Miata (no problem there with Shelby's). So I came here to learn ahead of my purchase...next 6 months or so. Looking at 911's, Cayman's, M3's and Shelby's. One of the reasons I like the Shelby is that I believe a 2008ish car will not depreciate much...and they are brutes. I also remember sitting in one at a dealership in KC when I was about 11. I have vague memories of the car but I believe it was a 69 500KR vert. I remember the flat roll bar. Dad took me on a test drive...I think I held my ears the whole time. So I will research the forum and occasionally as questions about known problems, best upgrades, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasShelby Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Moncho is right....7's and 8's can be found with very low miles for a great price and are great to mod to your liking.

Only mod is a custom axle back. Here are some pictures from it in the dealership showroom. I am waiting on the weather to clear up so i can take some recent pictures. It is spotless. The undercarriage is super clean. Also ups came today and brought me a set of these.... Thanks everyone. So far I drove the car from work to home and it was a blast. I cant wait to see how this car is with a pulley/tune. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayames Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Jay here. My wife Pam and I bought an '07 GT500 last Friday. Black with tungsten stripes. 970 miles (now 1400). Completely stock. We're already ordering parts (ie dash plaque, hood struts, etc). I'm contemplating a pulley/CAI/tune combo. These cars are fantastic. Love the upscale feel and the power of course. I've been a Mustang fan since childhood and had a '69 Mach 1 in high school. In 1976, an acquaintance who belonged to the Kansas City Shelby Club gave me a ride in his '68 GT500 KR and I've wanted one ever since. Thrilled to finally get one. I also have an '87 supercharged 5.0 coupe that I may sell (havent really decided yet). Merry Christmas everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1oldbronc Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hi All, I just bought a 2009 GT500. White/blue. 2,875 miles. It came with a cat back Bassani exhaust but otherwise is stock. I am thinking of a K&N or Airaid filter and a re-map to put things in harmony. Can anyone tell me why the rear suspension sits so high? Also, how do I find the stats I see others use to describe their cars? You know, 1 of XXX made in a certain year. I would like to attend some of the activities this spring in Pomona celebrating the 50th. Lots of great times then, the old brick building in Culver City.And the raw horsepower. Pretty tame now, no fenders rattling off. I also own a 2011 F-150 4X4 Lariat, '74 bronco, Harley, etc.,etc. I'm glad to be here, looking forward to learning a lot and enjoying my new toy.

stronger66ratfink Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Good morning, my bucket List is almost complete my Shelby being unload 12/19/2011 yes I was just about besides myself since I purchased the car long distance and only had photo's to look at but with 13,150 miles on her she was pretty much in mint condition looks like I need to think about rear tires soon which is another post becuase the F1 has two models and one is $200 more than the other? had the windows tinted and have ordered Matte Black stripe kit for it and that will be done next week then comes a Axle back exhaust system the new Cal Cover and Shelby floor mats should be here this week! Now to find a place in my Ford barn, she looks pretty good next to my 66 F100 show truck on one side and my new F150 Platinum on the other Boy is pissed because he just has a SVT Focus! just! From Friendswood Texas Mike this makes my 18th Ford in 15 years..... I'm done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verlyn12 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Just purcased our 2012 in December. All black no stripes but will put some side striping on as it looks a little plain and a little chrome-gas cap cover and door handles. So far only about 1000 miles driven but when warmer weather comes then we will be headed down the road! I enjoy reading the posts on the forum. Very few Shelbys around here and the information is really good that others post. Wish we could go to the Vegas Bash but that won't work this year. For those that are going-have a great time!

Shelby4Hutch Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hello, My name is Paul. I bought my 2007 GT500 back in January of 2010. Found it at a dealership in Myrtle Beach with 1007 miles on it and had to have it. It is Torch Red with white stripes. I drove it across country to AZ where we live now. So far it has a metco 2.6" pulley, JLT intake, Roush extreme off road exhaust system, MGW shifter, J&M lower control arms, and staggered 18x9/18x10 chrome 10th anniversary SVT wheels wrapped with Nitto 555 255/45/18s and Mickey Thompson ET's 305/45/18 on the back. Just ordered a red stripe appearance emblem conversion kit for it with extra "Shelby" letters for the hood. Can't wait to get them on the car and to center the letters on the trunk. My wife and I are huge mustang fans as we own three. We got her a '65 coupe, and also have an 89 LX convertible. I look forward to talking with some of you and maybe meeting at an event or two.

E.Marquez Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 So, finally a Shelby owner.. Been a long time coming. Erik from Kempner TX, currently hanging my hat in Afghanistan. First car I drove (legally) was my mother’s 1966 289 Coupe in Silver Blue First car I owned that same year.1969 Fastback, in Hunter Green. Bought a 1st edition, first car on the lot 2005 S197 GT in Windveil blue, same basic color of my late mothers ’66, This S197 was built on the same day/ month as my wife’s B-day, Had to have it, paid cash, that afternoon. And 7 years 109,000 miles later, we added a 2007 GT500, 12,000 mile, showroom condition Shelby in White with blue stripes. Perfectly stock (for now) This will be a new daily driver, wife will park her F350 CC, LB, 4x4 truck, and we will draw straws on who drives which car to work each day. So raised as a Mustang family, still a mustang family, and now, a long sought after GT500 comes to stay in our stabile. My wife picks up the car tonight, and I get to dream about it for another 2 months and I get home… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucks07 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Hi, After listening to me for many years saying I wanted a Shelby my wife said "If you want one go buy one." So in Aug. 2011 I got my Shelby. It is a 2007 GT500 with 5,000 miles, white with blue stripes. It has Steeda springs,Steeda pulley and Steeda cold air kit (all original parts were in the trunk). Just waiting for my dash plaque and air bag cover to be returned from the Shelby Foundation with Mr. Shelby's autograph. Looking forward to spring and Carlisle.

coldcuts113 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Forgot to introduce myself since joining. Took delivery of an 09' White convertible stock with a dealer installed tune and FRPP air box with 1800 miles on the clock this past November. Since then I installed Alex's MMS/MAC mufflers, Amsoil air filter, Shelby shift knob and ordered the small pulley and tuner from VMP (installing soon). Getting the blue stripes installed this week and purchased them from John aka Mr.Farmdog. Great forum, great group of people here sharing a ton of information!!
