shlbygrl Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Wondering if anyone knows when they actually started building the Shelby GT500's? OurMFD sticker on the driver side door stated the build date was 6/06. Trying to figure out if that is the actually build date for the car and also if we were lucky to get a "low" numbered car. Thanks for any input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VNMOUS1 Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I believe the first day of production was June 5, 2006 6/6/2006 for regular production. They built nearly 90 pre-pro cars prior to that date. bj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any input 6/06 means the car was Built in the month of JUNE 2006. All production cars are like this way with No specific build date, just month & year for reference purposes.. Check your other car/trucks out for the samething. Now had you tracked your order thru production like some of us on this site you might have known what date they started building it & when it was finished (or the Official date it was born on was). I think we have to wait for SVT to send out certificates for build number & date like past cobras. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just started to call dealerships within our area and ask if they had or get hold of one. The one we got it from had 6 on their showroom floor. Talk about lucky. Had our pick of colors.....Went with red/tunsgent stripes..... 6/06 means the car was Built in the month of JUNE 2006.

ColdwaterHotrod Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 If they had 6 of them on the floor, I bet you didn't pay MSRP but paid ADM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shel-b001 Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 When did you get your car & from what dealer? This dealer had 6 & you had your choice????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlbygrl Posted December 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 When did you get your car & from what dealer? This dealer had 6 & you had your choice????????????????? Yes, they had 6 . Dealer was Sarat Ford in Agaway, Ma. The kicker was we bought it on a Friday night at cloing time, by Monday afternoon, they had already replaced the one we bought, so they once again had 6 in the showroom...Not to mention the two Selions they had on the showroom floor.......

Some are just watching the market to see what it does. There is nothing wrong with paying an ADM. It is a personel choice and most here respect that. Mine is on order for Q1 and I paid 15K ADM. What did you have to pay ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) We had a choice of the red with white stripes and red with tungsten stripes. Went with tungsten stripes, thought it is alittle more sutle. I agree, though, both colors really scream !!! Husband wants to know how far are you from Seattle wa? He has done alot of work up that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done alot of work up that way. Battleground, WA is right next to Vancouver, WA. which is also 20 minutes from the Portland, Oregon Airport. It takes me 2- 1/2 hours to drive to Seattle from my place in light traffic. Is Hubby in Construction ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He recently remodeled some of the Regal cinemas at Evergreen PArkway, City Center, Cinema 99, and Cascade 16. He was up in Vancouver for the last two summers. So much for him driving Shelby .....You will have to give him a ride in yours next summer and Ill drive his back here in MA!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
