Poisnus Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hey gang, I just joined the forum and wanted to stop by and say hi. The wife and I are in the market for a Mustang convertible and our search has lead us to the GT500. We are going tomorrow and looking at a '08 with 2k on the clock. If it checks out hopefully I'll be sitting in it in the garage this time tomorrow night Anyway, look forward to meeting all you fine folks.

My daily commute had me on the interstate or toll road. Here is a pic of the Shelby. Stripes would be in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010KonaBlueGT Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 It's a buyers market right now so hopefully you can pick that Shelby up for a great price. Phew, boy! Don't tell the folks at Phil Long Ford/Motor City in Co. Springs CO that! I went in yesterday and they have a Black on black GT500 with a ADM of FIVE THOUSAND ($5,000.00!) dollars on it! I told the guy "you won't get that" and he said "ya never know"... He's right of course....ya never know! Not from *this* kid, they won't. I got mine from them at MSRP and NO ADM was my line in the sand. Crazy, I tell ya, Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisnus Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Well I got up this morning and called that dealership. Appearantly someone had put a down payment and was picking it up today. So we are looking again. We are eyeing a 2010 Grabber Blue GT500 but the wife wants a convertible but she loves this car. We will see. I'll keep everyone updated.

Poisnus Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Alright, we are now proud owners of sweet little Shelby :happy feet: We spent about 6 hours last night on the net and found a 2009 GT500 convertible about 200 miles from the house at a Ford dealer in Michigan. The car had 187 miles and never titled, a phone call first thing to confirm they had it and a little road trip up there and I was driving back home in it after signing the paperwork. I think we got a good deal on it. We paid $43k for it. She is Ebony and #229 of the 555 convertibles and #97 of 222 in Ebony. It had the strip delete and the very dark grey GT500 at the bottom. Car is a blast. I was smiling a the way home. Cant wait to get to meet you fine folks and spend some time here on the forum away from diesel performance company. I'll add some pics hopefully tomorrow. James RSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look forward to seeing your pictures, but one question...has the $#!+ eating grin come off your face yet? Don't worry if it doesn't; it's perfectly normal. It will happen everytime you get behind the wheel of your Shelby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poisnus Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Grin is still plastered all over my face I ordered a few parts for it last night, JTL Cold air and SCT tuner, Shelby billet shifter with white knob and sequential tail lamps. Looking at KR mufflers for a more agressive bit. James RSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
