mrdci Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Just wondering if you can still rent one. I am planning a trip to Vegas and was thinking it would be a nice rental car while driving out to the see the Shelby Factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy23c Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Just wondering if you can still rent one. I am planning a trip to Vegas and was thinking it would be a nice rental car while driving out to the see the Shelby Factory. When I went there, I waited too long and missed the opportunity (none available) . I would call the Hertz dealers there well in advance. Another thing to consider: these cars are sold after reaching around 12k-15k miles, so depending on when they took delivery, you may be out of luck as they might have been auctioned off already. Let us know how you make out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVTregistry Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I saw a whole bunch of them being rented out in Fort Lauderdale at the Hollywood airport. When I got to South Beach there were two I spotted on Washington Ave and Deco Drive. Two weeks later on another trip to Miami I saw yet another one downtown Miami. --Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoTheDigitalDiva Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Just got back from Atlanta last weekend. I reserved a regular Mustang convertible 2 months in advance with Hertz and was excited about driving around town in it. When we arrived the car in my rental space was a toyota convertible. After my husband spent 15 minutes explaining to the Hertz agent that a Toyota convertible would not cut it for me they pulled up a white Mustang. Yippee i thought! But then they pulled up the GT-H right behind it and it was all over. We negotiated an unbelievable price of $95/day for 5 days and it has changed my life. My order for a new 2008 Shelby GT was placed this morning. My husband told me I don't need to buy everything I rent/test drive but I strongly disagree. Everytime I watch the video of me in that car, I get goosbumps and stomach flutters. I can't wait to get my very own in Dec!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoTheDigitalDiva Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Thanks! The story gets better. One day we drove her north of ATL to the highest point in GA (approx 2 hr drive). At one red light approx 30 min north of ATL I was asked to "open her up" by the owner of an SS (not sure what that is but that's what the husband is calling it). So of course I did. We were pacing each other for a few miles around, well let's just say it was fast. OMG FUN!!!! Then a half-hour later an 80's mustang and I were revving engines at another red light. We also had some fast fun together. People love that car!! Then there was the guy in the passenger side of a pickup truck whose neck I was sure would spin 360 degrees as we drove by and the young barefooted boy who couldn't stop telling me what a nice car I had while we were in the parking lot of that highest point in GA. Finally when I was forced to return her to Hertz the guy checking the cars in didn't think it was a Hertz rental car. After he realized it was and my husband asked if we could get a luggage cart somewhere he said, get back in and I'll drive you to the airport drop off, I need to drive this car. I replied, OK, thats a deal BUT I'll drive us there - you can drive her back. How's that for service!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
