GT500FLYBOY Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 The secret handshake club refers to that as the "Gen 1 splitter" There are several of the first SuperSnakes that also have them. ...and I sold mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thanks Don for the acknowledgment!! As you and the other 13 know, it was quite a challenge to pull off a "party" that had never been done before, and since. I envy you Owners who have driven and enjowed your cars to the fullest, I really do. Me -- I'm content knowing I have #1 of the 15 and it is still a "virgin" and never been driven, titled, or registered with any governmental agency. I look at it every day in my garage and think to myself and know it is a one of a kind and it's mine. Some may not understand, but that feeling is as good to me, I'm sure as your feeling is to be burning up asphalt on a track. I have no illusions that I will ever see a huge monitary value out of my car. May be my kids or grandchildren will, who knows. But the enjoyment for now is mine as your is yours. The "Party" was a once in a lifetime experience for me and I'm sure for the other 13 as well. Take care to all, John That's so cool that you have a daily driver and a piece of history. Both 500's. My hat's off to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500-2007 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 40th Anniversary CMS 07XL0223 and #10 of 15 Party car sold this weekend. It is going from Calif. to Florida. 40th Anniversary CMS 07XL0223 (#10 of 15 Party Car) arrived in Florida this past Friday. It was on the truck for over a week so it was a little dusty. At least I know what I'll be doing this weeked. Thanks to jdaallen for being patient with me while I peppered him with questions about the car. The seller was a great guy to deal with and helped me out quite a bit with logistics. With the car in Ca and me in Fl, there was not much I could do hands on so all the help was greatly appreciated. I was looking for a GT500 convertible for some time. Although I wasn't really looking for a 40th or a car with any type of history I just could't pass up the opportunity to purchase this one. It was the color combination I liked and features I wanted. The history and the fact that it is a 40th just makes it that much more special. I tried to post pics..hopefully it worked. Thanks once again to John!

I was part of that group we still have our own mailing list and stay in contact. I think there are only three of us that do any serious driving with them., Tood, Mike and myself. Most of the rest are garage queens. Register for some of the events and meet the rest of the gang. You're going to love being a step child in the attic!

gt67 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Way to go, George. I knew you were drawn to my 40th, but you never said anything about adding one to your already fantastic collection. My daughter and I were very pleased to learn you were the one that bought the party car, Congratulations. Did you do anything with your 427 graphics on the SS and how did those coil covers work out? I think the time has definitely come to park next to each other at some show. Call me today or tonight if you get a chance. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torch40 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Welcome! The nice thing about being a 40th owner is you can buy all the 40th stuff from the store in one shot. B) And you won't spend much money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really just looking for a daily driver convertible GT500 or SGT, something with some miles on it that someone else had already "broken in" and I wouldn't feel too bad about driving to work and in the wet weather of Florida. This just kindda happened so now I have three in the garage and still no daily driver. Although my selection for weekend driving has moved up a notch. Go figure.... I still am toying with the 427 graphics for the other car but haven't made the jump. I still think I'm just going to buy them and stick them under the bed just to have them. Also haven't made the move on the coil covers. A lot going on and just haven't had a chance to get back to them. I'll be in Sebring this coming weekend for the Shelby sponsored track event with the white car. I'll try to call you tonight (05/22) but probably not until 8 or so. Have a bunch of family thinks going on most of the day. Best to you and your daughter.... GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Johnston Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Looking forward to meeting you and seeing your ride. Your GT500 is quite a start for a first Mustang. I have been a TS member from its early years and a SAAC member for 45 years. I play with a 1966 GT350 and a 2011 GT350 45th Anniversary.

Darryn Dela Vega Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Howzit Don, wow! You are a Shelby dude! Awesome cars! Scot emailed me about Sunday’s AMSCH meeting at Ho’omaluhia and the drive starting at Lagoon Dr. My wife and kids are excited to see the cars and I would love them to get their first taste of AMSCH this Sunday. Would love to take part of the drive, but i am a humble newbie and don’t want to be to overt in my excitement. So deciding whether to drove or meet at Ho’omaluhia. mahalo, Darryn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
