QuickSilverShelby Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I just saw that. It sure is pretty sweet. How did you come about it? I have one of the hoods but of course it does not have everyones signature. Can you give us any additional history? Thanks QSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of the hoods but of course it does not have everyones signature. Can you give us any additional history? Thanks QSS For sure: I was the director of production at Shelby, working for Gary Davis. I went to work for Shelby in March of '06 and built the line and the team that has built the '06 GT-H (and every Mustang between '06 and '08). These hoods, signed by the whole team were given to the 30 or so guys/gals on that original team. We lined them up next to each other and had everybody sign each of them. The first 10 were given to the management team and other VIPs. I chose #6 to match with '06... I'm cleaning my storage place and I would like to find a good and appreciative home for this hood. Happy bidding, AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akos (AJ) Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 As a side story, just when I pushed "Add Reply" there was a Time Warner Cable commercial came up with the original chase scene between the GT-H and the cop car: AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy bidding, AJ Very nice. AJ can you shed some lite on the hoods that were packaged with large star on the box. I have hood # 120 and it had a star and the box and also indicated that the hood was signed sideways. It also seems to have only one R in Carrol. I posted pictures on the GT-H site.

Akos (AJ) Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 really its just like having a family photo. Yes and no, really. It's more like a pinging that people put in a safe deposit box instead of hanging it on their wall. I truly hope it gets displayed well in its new home...

QuickSilverShelby Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I remember this thread. The hood was a great item and I became an acquaintance with AJ because of this thread. Although I didn't wind up with AJ's hood it's still super cool to have one of the autographed hoods from 06 GT-H production. QSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phyllis Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I have two GT H hoods 1 with all signatures ( this one has a certificate of authenticity ) and one with just Carroll's signature. They are pretty cool items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty cool items. I've got the GT-H hood with all the signatures that hung in the old museum out in North Vegas. The hoods with all the signatures are awesome and super rare. I think only 6 or 7 of them out there. QSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phyllis Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 The way I understand from Shelby there were 4 GT H hoods signed by everyone. Who knows but that's what I have been told. Also they were not number 1 through 4. It was 4 out of the first 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the one a couple months ago on ebay from the Shelby store and I know where one other is. I guess that sounds correct. Only 4 of them out there.
