owenkelley Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 It was kinda funny, I called Customer Service Monday morning to see when my car might arrive and they told me between 03-24 and 03-31. I called my buddy whose the salesmanager at the Ford dealership and he said he would find out the railcar # and where it is. He called me back & said it was only 300 miles away and should be here today (Monday). It arrived that night and we picked it up late yesterday afternoon, a week before CS thought it might get here!

It's my 20 year old daughters car, it's a nice one. Eibach springs, connected frame rails, full length headers, bigger injectors, CAI - really a fun car to drive. My 18 year old daughter has a 5.0 LX Fox Body car, it's got GT ground effects, chrome Cobra R wheels, it's a great car too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice cars man, and you are soooooo lucky, I called C/S Tuesday and all they had to say was the delivery date of 3/6/07 or week thereof. My response was "well it's not here". all they could say then was its still on quality hold! And yours got there before the delivery date. WOW I wish those folks could figure out what they are doing.

owenkelley Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Congrats Owenkelley! How much do you plan on it now that you have it? I'm hoping to use it mostly for travelling, but we'll see, I may not be able to keep from driving it more than that. I put about 100 miles on it today, got my first little rock chip so at least that's out of the way! We're planning a trip down to Denver and maybe to New Mexico towards the end of next month, but I think when it comes down to it 5000 miles a year will probably be where I'll try to keep it.

Today is the 1st day of spring. :hyper: It was spitting a little snow this morning when I was leaving for work, so I decided to leave the new car home. An hour later it was blue skies and sunshine so I went home and got it. I've gotten on it a few times now and it is a blast! I haven't smoked the tires yet though, I'm working up to that!

owenkelley Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Thank you for the nice comments. I haven't been paying too much attention to this site lately because I've been too busy playing with the car. I've only put a couple hundred miles on it, but I've washed & waxed it several times. The weather hasn't been too conducive to driving it much. It's amazing how things have changed in 40 years! The new car has every creature comfort you can think of, while the old one has power steering and that's it! Oh well, as much as I love the new car, I don't think it can replace the old one as my all time favorite car! Drive safe everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy23c Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Congratulations, Sir! Loooong overdue. You deserve this..... Two Beauties you have there. You have to post more pix when you get the chance! PS- always loved the '67s, one of my favorite classic Shelbys! Nice side-by-side shot. ~Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
