russell 06H304 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I have had my 06 GT-H since January of 2008, and have rented 2 GT-H verts. I just wanted to ask a few questions that maybe we have all thought about. I think these would apply to both 06 and 07 How many GT-H's were totaled while owned by Hertz What were the actual rental locations and which cars did they have How many and which cars were owned by independent Hertz rental locations (how were thet selected to get a GT-H) How many and which cars were the Hertz executive driven cars Which 06s were manual trans. Is there any way to get a detailed history of a particular car from Hertz (rental, service, damage) How long did SAI spend on each car while producing the 06 and 07 GT-Hs These are a few things that I have thought about since having my car.

QuickSilverShelby Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I can only answer one of your questions definately. There were only 4 manual transmissions built in 2006. As far Hertz cars owned by executives in 2006, I would think less than a dozen were owned by executives. I know of one executive who still ownes his 06 GT-H that he bought new. It was never rented and is an automatic and is currently located in Oklahoma. QSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARALD KELLEY Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I sent a letter to HERTZ corporate office to try to get maintenance info on my car. Never received a reply back. I have heard a number of "14" 2006 cars being totaled. This is not validated and does not mean that the cars will not be brought back to life via salvage title. Please share any information you get validated. Mine was a rental at McCarren Airport Las Vegas. Sure wish it could tell me who were the renters. Would not surprize me that some celebrity drove it at one time or another. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbymotorsports Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Pick a number out of the air, lets see number 398 sounds good. Too funny. For someone that supposedly knows so much you would think he could spell Shelby's name right. I bet Shelbie's first name is Carl. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Morris Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Roger might could answer it better, but Im pretty sure theres more than 398 left! That would be a 20% loss! MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuickSilverShelby Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 plus the 07 exec stickshift cars like 17 i think That is correct. 17 sticks and they are included in the total production of 500 made in 2007. QSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russell 06H304 Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Since we are talking about some numbers, why is there a description plaque with the GT-H prototype at the Shelby museum that says 517 coupes where produced and it is also repeted in the new Shelby mag. Is this just a big typo or is there any truth to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350steps Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Sign appears to state 517 built with automatics except for 4 Hertz executive units which had 5 speeds....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this just a big typo or is there any truth to it? When I was at the museum this spring I noticed that too so I asked the tour guide (I forget his name but he also handles sales there as well) about why the sign states 517 when I thought there was only 500 made. He had no idea so I left it at that. The mysteries of true Shelby production numbers goes all the way back to the 60's. I think it all adds to the lore.
