ShelbyEra08 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 saw this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SHELBY-AUTOGRAPHED-GT-500-KR-OWNED-AMY-BOYLAN-EX-PRESIDENT-SHELBY-/160740223936?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item256cdd2bc0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyman Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 100 grand for a KR because Amy Boylan owns it. How stupid is that. Who cares, what was she other than an Albatross for SAI. This is flatly laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJ Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 See this thread already out there. This car is actually quite a bit different then just belonging to Amy. Now if it's 100K worth, well that will be up to the buyer. http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php/topic/72952-amy-selling-her-500/page__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyman Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 So it has some extra paint and insulation. Extra insulation? Nice for a land yacht but hardly necessary for a hot rod. $100,000.00 for a "starting price", indeed. Not enough Kool Aide in the world to get someone to cough up that kinda cash for this car.

ShelbyEra08 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 probably would of been better for that car to go to Barrett-Jackson instead of ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Sounds to me like a 30-year early asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZD263 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 probably would of been better for that car to go to Barrett-Jackson instead of ebay. +1, although even at BJ, $100K would have been tough to reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyman Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Really can't see why this car would be worth any more than any other used KR. Who is Amy Boylan at this point other than someone who was booted out the back door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goin2dirt Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Bet it doesn't sell for close to that. Look at a few of those pics. Car looks beat up. I bet this car looks even worse in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldgus Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Not sure its worth the $100K either, but that one-of-a-kind carbon fiber KR hood with all the sigs on the underside is pretty cool... I'm sure Ryan Friedlinghaus can find a well-off customer of his who just HAS to have that car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagledriver Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Speedy, seriously? I'd love to have a pysch profile worked up on you. I'm thinking either you were ran over by a 68 KR as a kid or your boss blew your bonus money on an '08 KR. Why do you constantly obsess over KRs. You seem to drool at the chance to rag on them. Just drop it already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I like the CS screen on the navigation. You'd thought they would of cleaned & detailed the car before asking that kind of money for it! Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terumi71 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 It is very odd. The whole thing is just so......odd. The President of a legendary company selling her car on.....eBay. Odd The car looks like crap in cleanliness. Odd. Exorbitant price. Odd. She should have bought a hood. Put the new hood on. Sold that fancy one at a high level auction somewhere. Or just keep it and do it later. But get the hood off the car. It's all just......odd. eBay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyman Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Why is an Ebay listing so odd? There are times when Ebay has 15 KRs looking for a home. Percieving a KR as "too good" for Ebay is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be an awesome thing also i am surpised the listing isnt more "professional" since WCC listed it.

On my laptop the listing has huge capitalize letters, i think that is annoying Matt, obsessing over Shelbys is a good thing!! I should know... LOL if you read Speedy's posts you'll find that he is 100% negative towards Shelbys in general but more so towards KRs for some reason. It just gets so tiresome after a while. Over priced land yacht,overpriced carbon fiber, and on and on and on... Oh and yeah on my laptop the listing size is all out of whack. For a listing coming from WCC I would also agree that it should be more professional. I also think it's way overpriced but I'll bet if you had WCC build you a custom car that 100K price would seem cheap in comparison! I don't see how he gets six figures for some of those ugly creations he makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is with 100,000+ with those cars, he probably has some kind of WCC name mark up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagledriver Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Agreed, there has to be serious "brand" mark up involved. The one-off complete custom cars I can see generating that kind of $$$. The "repaint,new wheels and a new stereo" cars that they build are certainly not worth that $$$. Back to topic, I really don't see the KR selling for 100K but I've been surprised before on final selling prices. What are the ebay fees for the seller if it goes for 100K?

robertlane Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Really can't see why this car would be worth any more than any other used KR. Who is Amy Boylan at this point other than someone who was booted out the back door. As per your statement, what factual information do you have that she was booted out the back door? Were you in Shelby's upper management during this time? I don't recall you being at any Shelby staff meetings? You don't know why this particular GT500KR is worth any more than and other used KR because you simply don't have the facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the ebay fees for the seller if it goes for 100K? i think ebay commission for automotives is around 9 or 10%. So if they did sell it for $100,000 probably only getting less than $90,000 but since its WCC selling the car plus you have to add an listing fee, fees for mutliple pictures probably WCC and Ebay has some kind of dealing with eachother and they might not get that high of commission.

What? A $10,000.00 fee to sell a car on Ebay? Are you on crack? The fee for a successfull sale of an auto over $2,000.00 is only $125.00 for a low volume seller and $60.00 for a high volume seller.

bmezz Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I don't usually get involved in these kind of discussions, because it does nothing to promote our hobby. But a Shelby KR that sells for $100;000 makes all Shelbys more collectible. I wouldn't care if it sold for 50 grand or 100 grand I'd love to get behind the wheel of that Baby for an hour or two.

terumi71 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 It seems odd because: - Amy was the PRESIDENT of a legendary company. Notice I said company.....not KR. - Amy, I would think, swims in high car circles as a result. Listing a car on eBay somehow seems beneath her. To me, it seems....odd. Thats all I can use to describe that sentiment. -Amy should pull that hood off and out a factory one on. Keep the hood. Sell it separately, whatever. Then list the car on eBay. Without the signature hood. - Amy should take off the highlights of being SAI President. I find this also, odd. One thing I know for sure is Amy hasn't been calling asking for my advice! . So she has a plan obviously. Wish her well and all that. Speedy, don't know what to say of your constant harangue(s) other than that. Has nothing to do with a kr being on eBay.

KR_Mac Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I like the cd/dvd player, I wonder if it has a functioning phone button (unlike the ones in the KR) .... anyone know how to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
