IASHELBYGT Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Well, 5 years ago today I picked up my SGT at Gretter Ford in the little town of Washington, IA. At that time Gretter was the only dealership in the area that would sell me a Shelby with no ADM. My how things have changed. It's been a great ride with this car. I've gotten to meet some terrific people as a result, including Carroll at the 09 Shelby Bash. I've modded her up and won a few car shows. Overall an unforgettable time. I've posted a few pictures of the delivery day. One good thing is I'm now 100 lbs lighter than the guy on the right in the picture below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JASPONY Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Congrats...very nice. California Edition? w/ factory gauge pod and deep-draw hood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2+2 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Did you special order the deep draw hood. Do you have an idea on how many came from Shelby with that hood. Still hoping to see your car in person some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IASHELBYGT Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Congrats...very nice. California Edition? w/ factory gauge pod and deep-draw hood? Nope, while waiting for my car to be finished at Shelby, then director of sales John Walker told me about their "new" Shelby Mod shop and asked me if I wanted anything done. I added the CS6/Hertz hood, the gauge pod cluster for non-supercharged cars and the lower grill w/driving lights before it was shipped to my dealer. So I think my car is somewhat one-of-a-few with those options installed at SAI. Man if only I'd had the funds to pull th trigger on a factory installed Paxton SC at the time! Did you special order the deep draw hood. Do you have an idea on how many came from Shelby with that hood. Still hoping to see your car in person some time. 2+2, see my post above. I can't imagine more than a handful had that hood installed prior to dealer delivery. If the weather is good you can see it at Shelbyfest next year.

Sam Thanks Sam - I may talk to you when I finally take the SC plunge. I'm leaning towards the Edlebrock E-Force and remember your install thread.

SoDakMac Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hard to believe that it will be five years since I picked up my 2007 SGT on 9/11/07. I had waited since March for the car. It was a very long summer. I still have the car and it will stay in my shop until they throw dirt in my face. I did get a 2012 Boss 302 to give her some company.
