Slabo Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Looks like Texas plates. No airbag deployment but the gauge pod dislodged from the hit. Can't make out the CSM. http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php?/classifieds/item/282-2007-shelby-gt500-40th-anniversary/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt67 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Someone once said occasional drivers need to drive these cars more often to get a real feel for what they can and can't do. Cobrafan said, ''If you are an occasional driver and get on it in the wrong way, you are in trouble immediately''. Once I get my new daily driver ( CO Boss) I will finally gain experence on how to drive the 40th. I'm really good after four years at sounding like an FI car racing while being parked in the garage. I think this is around the 11th wrecked 40th that we know about, which would be around 5% of all 40ths. This number must be higher than average for any model.

cobrafan Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Guys, I'm almost certain this is the 40th that was at Quantum. The owner was fighting to try to keep the insurance company from totaling the car and he was going to rebuild. Quantum believes it can be rebuilt, but it looks like the price is going to be to high. I think this one is toast for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now on the other hand, when the Boss arrives I will drive it until the wheels fall off or til my ticker doesn't tick any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportscars Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 From the pictures I would say it is in Dallas. I am familiar with most of the salvage lots in San Antonio, Austin and Houston and this one doesn't look like any of those. At first I thought it was an easy fixer from the front pics, then I saw the roof. Dont get me wrong, it can still be fixed - and fixed well, but that asking price is a bit on the high side. I wish him luck with the sale however. The gauge pod doesn't suprise me at all. It is only held on with velcro. I have seen them come lose on a hot day at the track.

09 Red GT500 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Definitely Dallas. In the last picture, you can see the arch for the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge (still under construction) in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
