Richard Saute Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Looking good! If I was to get a Tcar, I'd want a convertible also. Otherwise it just wouldn't fit in with the others..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naa-V-Doc Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I want to create a team and help sponsor it. SCCA Supplying the car is the first step. Due to military injuries I am unable to pass medical to drive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am in the same boat as far as Military Med Issues. At least that is what I was told. May give it a try and see if they (SCCA) pulls the plug on me. Next year, when I go to VIR I will get it a shot...

tispco Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Terlingua convertible #21 is up for action today if anyone is interested. Saw this link on another site. http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=KC1210-100988&entryRow=380 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NordicShelby Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Is this Thumpers car? To bad the seller didn't post this auction on this site earlier I highly doubt they are going to get killer money for the car without letting the diehards know the car is for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJ Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I'm confused. Thumper's car is said above to be #22. But I can't remember looking at the number plate in Terlingua to see if that was the number in the end. This sure looks like the same car, but no interior picture to see if it has the same. Can't tell by the headrests, as those are the same. If this isn't Thumpers car, nobody on this forum knew about this one, unless this is the test/concept car, but those are usually not numbered. Somebody help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGT500 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 It is not Thumpers car. Thumper had Borla stickers below the Eibach and on the third brake light he had the billet Shelby letters cutout and a Sirius satellite antenna on the decklid and no yellow steering wheel.

tispco Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 This isn't Thumper's car, it is the other Grabber Orange vert. The Terlingua package covers 2005-2009 model years. Each with their specific TRT number for that year. There could be 22 build in one year but 450 total build, spread throughout all years. The first series of numbers is always held back, traditionally, usually the first 10. There are 2 Terlingua convertibles built out of Shelby in Las Vegas to date. Both Grabber Orange.

kryptonite Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 So, how many convertibles have there been and in what color (other than GO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJ Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Ok, cool. This is not Thumpers car but the other convert. So to date, as far as we know, there are only two Terlingua Converts, both Grabber Orange, and look very similar. Both 09's, car numbers 21 and 22. Cool. Hopefully who ever buy's it will come on here, or it may of course no sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NordicShelby Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Thats good to know that its not Thumpers car. I am watcing mecum right now hoping to see the bunny come accross the block. I often wonder why people have these very special cars made and then sell them right away. I understand if its for profit but in most cases its less and actaully much less than what they have into the car. I suppose really weathly people just want the newest greatest thing so move on to the next toy. I will never sell my car but only add to my stable.

dh777 Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 I think this might be the third one I have seen. When I saw my first GO vert last year I thought it was a fake until Bud told me that they did make one. The main reason I thought the first one I saw was a fake is because of the bottom stripe. It did not look right. The font and the lettering were not right and the lettering was GO. I noticed that this is how Thumper's bottom stripe also came out. This is the first GO vert that I have seen with the original style Terlingua stripes with gray lettering. So.. I could be wrong but I think there might be 3 GO verts.
