erupff Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Hi All, Well, I finally sold my '86 SVO and bought a nice 2008 Grabber Orange Mustang which will soon be off to Tasca for its Terlinguafication! Paid the down payment and waiting for Dennis to email me with a Shelby tracking number (?) so that I can drop it off. If I remember him correctly he had stated that this will be the first performance package shipping to Tasca directly from Shelby instead of Tony Branda. My car as purchased has the side scoops, V6 spoiler, quarter window louvers, chrome grill (looks like the Shelby GT one) and chin spoiler. Can't wait to git-r-done!

kahmann Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 I had no idea Tony Branda played any role in the Terlingua up-fits, past or present. Very cool info. Regardless, congrats! Post pics when you have any to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchBunny Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Very nice. Congratulations. Tony Branda? My Terlingua was the first Terlingua built at Tasca. It has the Performance package and all options. It is CSM08TRT0301. Do the optional seats. You won't regret it. It will be a long wait. Good luck.

And my understanding was that Tony Branda was initially distributing the Terlingua packages for Shelby, at least to Tasca. Respect everyone, but FEAR THE BUNNY!

Your bunny was very inspiring to me! Hey, was wondering what the wait time is to get this done? Made my deposit a month ago, but still no word about a drop off date. Figured maybe you could help me out with what your time frame was? ANYWAY, hope all is well on the farm! Evan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made my deposit a month ago, but still no word about a drop off date. Figured maybe you could help me out with what your time frame was? ANYWAY, hope all is well on the farm! Evan Thanks, lovin' life here in the Midwest! :D Well, my build was a bit unusual. Here's a short version of the time frame: Placed Deposit--Oct 08 Shipped car--May 09 Received completed car--Dec 09 This was Tasca's first Base package and part of the delay was SAI kept changing the outfitting of the base equipment. Believe mine is the last car built with the rear exhaust system, but with the front bodywork of the Performance package. The front end changes are currently standard on all Terlinguas (There's also a white base one built before mine in Texas with rear exhaust and the Ford Pony package front end as the Base package was initially designed.) Also, I had my Bunny customized after the Terllingua package was installed, and inspected, by adding the Ford CAI kit (this was part of the initial Base package, but had been dropped by the time my build started), Mustang GT front brake upgrade, TCI Racket shifter and Rear window louvers. I also added the 3.73/8.8 rear end, 20" Razors, and interior upgrade to the Base Terlingua package. There were also some issues caused by staff changes at Tasca during my long built time, but all of that should not be a problem for your build.

I ordered just the performance package for the car with currently no other changes/upgrades, and have already experienced what you mentioned about staff changes at Tasca. Am thinking that maybe Shelby changing their procedure for shipping parts may contribute to possible delays as well....but I appreciate your detailed summary, it is very helpful for me! Hardest part for me will be being patient as I have wanted a Terlingua since day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANOTHER UPDATE: Just got word from Don at Tasca 2 days ago that my bunny has a great chance of being done end of next week, which would mean that the build once started only took 5 1/2 weeks!!!! Unfortunately I am unable to attend Tasca's open house on 9/11, but am excited at the prospect of the bunny being back in NJ, at least in time for Halloween!
