Nah KC666 Cobra head shift knob that lights up, I'm liking that idea. Maybe some aftermarket company will jump on that. Alan, placed another call late afternoon and left another voice mail. I'll try one more time today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksmach1 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Alan. I tried two more times today but no dice. I left another voice mail so I'm guessing their to busy to deal with parts customers. If I knew what his email address was I would go that route. So maybe someone else on this forum can give us a hand. Maybe someone who lives in Vegas can help?

It's probably some sort of a production problem, When they re list it I'm sure it will have a updated price too. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgr31 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Alan, Just got back from Shelby, bad news on the snake handles. I spoke to the head sales guy John, he said they are not going to happen as he put it "more trouble than they are worth" hope this helps. I picked up some other info on the 40th package and a couple other items if anyone is interested. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgr31 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Well, I was told some of the parts leaving the website are because they want some items to be unique to the 40th package. The package for coups is $11,200, I was told everyone that gets put on the list will get a call. The order for the numbering system depends on your place on the list, not when your car is received! If you place a deposit and get put on the list that determines your S/N for the car. Also, they will be coming out with chrome Razors in the near future (unknown price). They had a 40th anniversary Shelby there that was in the back, I just missed it. Hope to get pictures next trip. They had several GTH's with mods that looked pretty cool. They have a supercharger and some other goodies that are going to be included in a package for those cars. The plaques are supposed to be online THIS week. I was told we will have to submit our VIN's to a 3rd party for engraving, Mr. Shelby has pre-signed the plaques. Shelby does not want to be responsible for errors on the engraving (lazer etched), thus the reason for giving our numbers directly to them. Armrest pads are not going to be produced with the logo shown on the website, they apparently had issues with the snake logo for some reason. They are looking at re-designing, unknown if that will happen at all. They had Borlas on all the cars, looked cool. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head, they told me a lot, I just didn't write it down. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
