JeffJ Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 So while I was at the Shelby Bash this weekend, I saw one of the 200 factory hoods that they had signed by Carroll at the beginning of the program. I learned that there were like 10 available which they didn't realize were in inventory up stairs back in boxes which were never sold. So there's one in my buddies truck on it's way to Colorado right now. I believe that they are going to get the others put up on the SPP web site here soon to get them gone. I believe that they will be $399. At the beginning of the Hertz program, they took 200 of the first factory hoods which they took off the cars and had Carroll sign them with gold paint marker. There is a metal plate attached as the authenticity which is serialized. One of the best must haves for any GT-H owner. These are already boxed with packing and the sig is covered with that white car covering which covers new cars in transport. I'll get some pics of mine when I get it out of the box later this week.

Contact them and I'm sure that Sharon or April can help you out. They are all boxed up, so shipping is not a problem.

JeffJ Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Picked it up from my buddy this evening and opened it up. Only thing that's a bummer is that the painters tape on the paper over the sig is really stuck to the hood after being stored over the past five years. The protectant material comes off good, but the tape is stuck. Oh well, I'll get it off, just not tonight. Also, there were 300 done originally, not 200.

shel-b001 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 A good wax will take it off. So do we know how many are left? Is it 200 of 300? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 300 originally done based on the plaque on the hood. When I left, there were 9-10 left. My buddy who brought mine home also bought one for himself. These were all thought to be all sold back in 2006-2007 until they just recently found these remaining up in storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soak it with spray detailer first. You want to dissolve the petrified adhesive. Detailer will have enough solvent. If that doesn't work, try bug and tar remover. Whatever you do re-seal the signature area. Any of those materials can contain a solvent for the paint marker that was used for the sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJ Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Was there any paperwork that came with the hood??? There's a paper stapled inside the box stating that this hood came from the manufacturing process of the GT-H program, while great care was taken to keep them in the best condition, there may be minor scratches from the process. Between that and the plaque on the hood, not sure what else you would be looking for as to the paperwork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07SGT4578 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Jeff, if your going to remove the tape, get a 3M stripe off wheel. It will take it right off, with no damage to the hood. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
