pony23 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Saw this at Barrett-Jackson last night. The red 2013 behind the prototype had a nicer twin 5 star style wheel. Looked kind of like a grey Laguna Seca. Much better looking than that ugly new mesh design. Thinking the 5 star might be base and the mesh is for the PP.

svtkeith Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 For the price we're going to be paying for the 013 GT500 you would think they'd have at least 3 different options for wheels...IMO all the wheels on the 10-11- 12 GT500 suck...Lets see an option that looks like the chrome wheels on the SS or the KR.

Gotta remember, that Red car you show is the "One-of-one" BJ give-away car for the Fantasy Bid winner. Those wheels may or may not be what comes on the production model. It's basically a Super Snake without the CSM# (750HP Whipple, FR3 handling pack, SS Hood & CF pieces, SS A-pillar gauge pod, etc. etc. etc.). So now I'm wondering if those are the wheels that Shelby will replace the Alcoa Dura-Brights with, that the 2013 Super Snake will apparently no longer have (a preview of the 2013 Super Snake wheels, perhaps????) Only time will tell (cuz I know Robert L. or Roger S. won't!) Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I pictured is another 2013 that was on location. http://www.speedfantasybid.com/sweepstakes.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I pictured is another 2013 that was on location. http://www.speedfant...eepstakes.shtml OH! My bad. I watched the auction last night and just ASSUMED the red car behind the concept car was the Fantasy Bid car! Didn't pay much attention to it and now realize, I should'a. I'm still wondering why some FOOL would pay $300K for a workhorse car. That car's wore out before it's even sold. Yeah, I know...Ron Pratte. Big deal. The ONLY reason I can see him paying that kind'a money for that car is for the first rights to car #1 in 2013. That pretty much assures he'll get it (that, and having more money than brains plays a part). Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the words going through those guy's heads. Just because of the money. BTW is it just me, or are the two guys who bought the Fairlane 500 for the troops and the old geezer who bought the pierce arrow the only guys barrett jackson focused on and bought the majority of the cars? The tricks that money does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 The car in the photo, above, has the std. 2013 wheel. Phil, Nothing to tell my friend. Still in planning stage. Don't look for a Super Snake until late 4th qtr. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Late Q4 of '12 or '13??? I ASS-U-ME you mean late Q4 of 2012. Either way is okay by me, My secondary annuity pays me a annual $15K lump sum dividend at the end of Q2 (~15 June) so the longer you wait, the more my account has in it!
