makapuu Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Hello everyone, I am a newbie to the forum, and to the Cobra brotherhood. Yesterday I bought a *NEW* 2008 Shelby Cobra GT500 Convertible black with the red appearance package: 2008 GT 500 Sales Page It was never registered, and had the plastic on the floors...385 miles on the odometer. The salesman told me he heard they only made about 600 with the red stripes, but I found on the production numbers that only 131 (?) converibles were made with in 2008? I see on this forum where some of you know which number your particular Cobra was produced out of the 131? i also saw one poster who knew which number out of 49 his was with the NAV system? How do you get this specific info as to which number your Cobra is sequentially?? Is there anything else I should know about my car? By the way, I paid $45,000 for the car not knowing of the rarity of its edition. The red stripes on the black and the upholstery colors were stunning, so I had to get the car.

makapuu Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Thanks for the help in finding this info. Very much appreciated! I recieved my Ford certificate today, and have added the history of the GT 500 to my signature below. One poster with the same car actually stated that theirs was # something out of 49 with the NAV system. Where do you get that info? The info in my signature is all Ford gave me?

glroy Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 welcome to; my car is black and I have to detail it again club. Black looks the best and of course it is the fastest. partially it the colour but mostly its all the s**t we put on to keep the dirt off makes it go faster. Lost of good detailing info on the site (you will need it) enjoy and have fun with your new toy. Glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
