Torch40 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 white w/Blue stripes, Strut tower brace, lowered engine... only $125K! comments? To high of a price. I don't think any snakes were made with a blue stripe. So it's either a fake or they changed the stripe color after the build. Plus some other mods. Be careful on this one.

2010KonaBlueGT Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 To high of a price. I don't think any snakes were made with a blue stripe. So it's either a fake or they changed the stripe color after the build. Plus some other mods. Be careful on this one. If you listen carefully to the voice over, they talk about the blue stripe and how they got it. He says it's build #3 from Tasca Ford and they were able to get Taska to put the blue stripe on it instead of the black as every other Super Snake has a flat-black stripe. Sounds like "factory" to me, not post-sale. So it's likely one of a kind. Is it worth $125K? Not in this lifetime. At least not in MY lifetime. Just because it's one of a kind doesn't make it all *that* desirable! JMHO, Phill Pollard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRT 0403 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I didn't think the mod shops had the option to change the stripes on the SS or 40th packages. hummmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave c Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I didn't think the mod shops had the option to change the stripes on the SS or 40th packages. hummmmmm They don't, this is nothing more than a modified SS. They can put as much crap on it as they want, does it make it a one off? Maybe in the owners eyes. The salesmen can embellish it all he wants. Personally, I think it devalues the car. There's nothing wrong with modifying a car to make it more personalized, but personalized and rare are two different things. Definitely buyer beware.

ShelbyRookie Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 The car is worth the same as everyone else's on this site. It's worth a maximum of the car plus the price of the conversion. As long as they are still making SS's that will be the case. I'm sure they're hoping they find someone who hasn't done any homework and just likes the car. The stipe colour had to have been changed after the Shelby rep inspected the car. I know that one guy had to have the stripes applied for inspection and then remove them to have black stripes painted on. It's a nice car. Lets hope someone pays that much for it. Then ours will be worth more! :D Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Morris Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 IMO, the blue strip hurts the car! Not one of a kind, but a WRONG striped car! Blue wasnt an OPTION! Modding your car is fine, but that doesnt make it a one of one. It makes it a MODDED Super Snake!!! MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sooooo close to putting my original Tungsten stripes back on my 40th. There were only 61 performance white with tungsten produced. PLus, it gives the car a much more agressive appearance. It won't effect me, unless I have to sell, but in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrera Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I've seen this car! The blue stripes were put back on after the car was authenticated and inspected by Crispy. It is not a one of but rather an owner modified SS.In my eyes the car looks terrible with the blue stripes ,sort of a hybrid between a GT500 and a SS. It will lower the cars value rather than increase it going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(O) 516-729-2003 (F) 631-389-2605 Coming on to this site and trying to push your sales pitch is probably not going to get you anywhere. Anybody can enter anything in the registry, pink stripes , yellow wheels, etc, etc. It will be entered as "owner modifications added". If you don't believe me, contact RogerS@Shelbyautos.com, AKA Shelby Registry Manager. In my personal opinion, you're deceiving a potential buyer. The car does not have every possible SS upgrade, maybe at the time it was built it did. It doesn't have rear brake upgrade, cooling pkg, interior upgrade, etc, I think you'd be better off being honest on what has actually been done to the car. It was an early SS, that has been modified. One of one.....maybe in your eyes. Anyway, good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you will see the truth.. ///Michael BTW we didn't enter the registration information... That's good. Because if that's the case, Tasca violated their agreement with Shelby American, and their asses will now be in a sling for modding a Super Snake outside the packaged components that Shelby American put together for the SS package. Oh, by the way, the (ex) Shelby mod shop field inspector is a member of this site, and has advised us that while the blue stripes and the other components may have been physcally installed by Tasca, they were installed AFTER he blessed that car and plaqued it as a Super Snake. Read this and read it well...NO TRUE SUPER SNAKE WILL HAVE ANY COLOR STRIPE ON IT OTHER THAN FLAT BLACK...PERIOD! So you can go ahead a spin the information anyway you want, but WE, all of us here, know the REAL TRUTH about the origin of that car and will make sure that anyone who asks will be told the TRUTH...the REAL TRUTH about it. You insult other SS owners with your BS claim that this is some kind of one-off "prototype" SS when all it is, is a Super Snake that has additional, owner requested modifications on it and nothing else, and that is the real truth!

RogerS Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 For clarity on registry entries: - The registry will accept any information which will verify with a legitimate VIN or CSM # - All vehicles converted at an authorized mod center on our Super Snake platform are inspected by Shelby American, Inc. employees prior to issuing a CSM badge - All vehicles must conform to Shelby American, Inc. base specifications and build of materials - Any additional modifications above the authorized list of approved items become "owner added modifications - No vehicle is badged that does not conform to the above - If the vehicle does not meet specification a re-visit is scheduled prior to badging - No "Shelby American, Inc. authorized proto-types" are built in our modification centers - All proto types and concept vehicles originate at our Las Vegas facility - When data is entered into the registry any owner is allowed to enter any information regarding their vehicle or modifications - We validate and authenticate the base build with authorized modifications only Hopefully this will help.
