Dave You mean other than our actual Hertz Rent a Racers? ha....ha... I can't imagine the odds of any other Terlingua builds starting out with x-Hertz rent a cars, or any other rental cars for that matter. I imagine possible, but unlikely!

Thanks Dave for the reply. Hi Dave, No, I cannot confirm the verts for the same reason as I cannot confirm the coupes. Until the official total is compiled it could be inaccurate any info I gave. I could give you a number and find out it was incorrect when finals are known. I do not have any information on a blue vert - if you have any lead please let me know and I will follow-up. Yours starting as a Hertz is the only Terlingua I know of with this distinction, key word is " know of" so far.

Yes of course other than those, lol. My donor was found in NC at a dealer who picked it up at auction from being owned by two previous dealers tracing it back to Florida where Hertz rented in some special "Beach cruiser" program to the tourist, hence the color and lack of V8. I do have the paperwork showing them as the original owners. When I mentioned this to Gary Patterson, he just laughed. I joked about putting the Shelby Hertz badges on it but never have.

This is #21, it has a new owner and is now in Houston - http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=KC1210-100988&entryRow=380 And I thought you where #22.

Dave My 2007 coupe started life as a "program" car, mostly likely in rental service somewhere and came with weird option set. We bought it with about 20k miles and it had ABS brakes, auto, leather seats, but base interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you off by one number or is there a #20? You are correct I was misquoting the numbers by 1. I had been told by Gary Patterson that a man simply named "John" in California had come in after me ordered his to look like mine and was built and finished before mine in Vegas. They did have to replace my front cap as the Terlingua nose they had installed was flawed and warped across the entire front. His car is simply beautiful but is a manual and performance model with custom Gary Disney interior but very few other options and that is where it is different from mine. That one went for sale in Caly, then KC then finally Tx it was sold for a whopping 40k+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear from you, David The blue one is maybe my imagination but I do recall in a conversation at Shelby, Gary mentioning in a side note to someone else he was talking to that they had made 3 convertibles at that time with 2 being orange and one blue.

Thumper Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Do we at least have a clue to colors or the basics? Like: Was there a red Terlingua? Was the pilot car the only V8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 This may be a stupid question as it may already exist but can we create a survey and have the known owners fill it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VorpalBunny Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hey Thumper, I have not yet found a red Terlingua that was made. It is not impossible there could be one though until we have final registry complete for this model. Not sure what you mean by the pilot car, are you referring to the concept Terlingua 001C? If so, that was a V6 with some interior changes that never made it to production (the Momo seats). Also, a V8 was considered pre-concept car early on but never made the transformation to a Terlingua beyond being painted yellow. I am not aware of any V8 Terlingua made with the current package specs. There is a thread that was started asking all Terlinguas owners to enter their cars. Some did, but many did not or have not yet found the thread. It is in this section of the forum, the Terlingua section. Glad you still have your vert and enjoy it!

JeffJ Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 David, the Need for Speed Terlingua is a V8. That is considered as a one off Terlingua is it not? Edit: I'm wrong. I could have sworn the NFS car was a V8, but it is definitely a 6: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VorpalBunny Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hey Jeff, No worries! There is at least one V8 "tribute" to the NFS that is truly nicely done and comes to Terlingua yearly, but says Terlingua Island on it. Plus at least one other "V8 Terlingua vert" tribute. Easy to get lost among these Rabbits, they err multiply! LMAO. Fear the Bunny! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Here is a link to a forum that someone has gone to an extreme amount of effort to worship or ..... stalk our cars. http://forums.themustangsource.com/f755/shelby-terlingua-mustang-520290/ Half way down the first page there is what looks like a black convertible?? As well, near the top there is a couple pics showing a black Terlingua with the wide body kit. Can anyone tell me if that is someone we know?

JeffJ Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Thumper, the wide body car is our very own Mike Stacey's car. Here's a thread I started in the racing section with some timeline photo's of Mike's car. Some may cry about the changes, but as we all know, Carroll would have loved it every step of the way! http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php/topic/81797-nasa-aix-terlingua-racer/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
