WYTSNKE Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Hi all, I'm a Team Shelby newbie in San Jose, CA and I recently purchased a low mileage, white '07 Shelby GT. I've owned a few Fox-body 5.0 Mustangs -- great cars to mod -- but the Shelby has been a blast to drive "as is." I've already been checking out the forums ... lots of good info here! (Hope to also contribute as time goes on). Here are some photos: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clark17357 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Good to have you with us. You will like it here - pretty grown up bunch who are pretty good at clearly expressing themselves without profanity and without using the relative anonimity of the internet to bash others. Don't be shy about sharing what you know. Everything each of us knows, we learned from someone else. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torch40 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Welcome, we have quite a few Team Shelby guys around here. Be careful though, this forum can get addicting at times and VERY expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYTSNKE Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Thanks, Jim ... I already like what I see so far. It's nice to join a group that focuses on positive interactions with its members. I've seen what can happen on other forums, where just a few trolls, flamers, or spammers can ruin the experience for everyone. I'll definitely post whenever I feel that I can be helpful to someone else. Cheers, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYTSNKE Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Much appreciated, Torch40 (see that you're in my neighborhood -- nice red GT-500!). Yeah, I know just how "dangerous" these forums can be: Good ideas or the latest high performance mods can lighten your wallet faster than a pickpocket at your favorite tourist destination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csm198 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Welcome, Team Shelby is the nicest forum around . Like another said grown ups to can express them selves in an adult manner. There are a few disrespectful statements sometimes but it is rare. Enjoy your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WYTSNKE Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hey CSM198 & glory, Thanks for welcoming me to Team Shelby ... I'm definitely enjoying the forums and driving my Shelby GT (just wish the rain would quit for a while here in San Jose, CA). I sold my '67 Oldsmobile 442, which I owned for over 25 years, to buy the Shelby. The 442 was build locally in Fremont, CA and it had a Muncie 4-speed with a Tri-Carb setup (lots of fun to drive and not too many around). It was hard to let her go, but spare parts were getting more & more expensive, and I've always wanted a Shelby Mustang. Since I don't have the cash for a 65-66 GT-350, the Shelby GT is a nice, modern day example. I look forward to chatting with you guys on the forums!

Love the torque thruster rims and red paint. I'm sure it was hard to let go. The Shelby looks great! I had a 65 Skylark conv (my grandfathers car) but my heart wasn't in it so off it went for a 68 GT fastback. Anyway, enjoy your new ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT0547 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Welcome to the "club" And please take the time to register (or update) your SGT with the Shelby American Registry... There is a link below in my sig block to the on-line entry form... As well as my e-mail address if you have any questions or problems along the way Gregg 07SGT0547 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYTSNKE Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hi richstang, Glad you like the '67 442 ... the old school AR Torq Thrust wheels worked well with the factory Spanish Red paint. The '65 Skylark convertible must have been a nice ride, although I completely understand how it is when your heart's not into the car. The '68 Mustang GT fastback is a nice substitute, though I look forward to spending a lot of time behind the wheel of the Shelby GT. Enjoy your ride as well!

WYTSNKE Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Thanks, Gregg! I did register with the Shelby American Registry through Steven Thornton when I first joined Team Shelby (appreciate the reminder). I'll be sure to drop you a line if I have any questions/issues ... see you at the Shelby Bash :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
