2+2 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 There will be more. I had to wait about a year for the perfect used 08' automatic coupe. When it came up, I was ready and the whole deal just fell in place, dealer warranty and all. Also I remember that Kelly Blue Book KBB, had a check-off for the Shelby package. When you checked that box, it only added $1,500.00 to the GT premium. I used this to work in my favor while dealing on the car. When it was all said in done I only paid about that much more than a regular Mustang GT. These cars are awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank S Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Are these mods/items that I can install afterwards? I assume the lights and such can be, but what about the upgraded instrument panel? I though I saw someone's SGT that had one that sat up on the dash? Early in the S197 history there were a number of people looking for the upgraded instrument/gauge panel. Several Mustang sites have how-tos and parts numbers in case anyone really needs them. The two-gauge was standard and really undercuts the "luxury" aspect of an upgraded car like the SGT. It may be possible to get the parts from a dismantler; my impression was that the installation was not very difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyBlueHeaven Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 This was GREAT advice. I just did so; explained the process and that they were tagging the VIN back to it's original "GT" state from the factory. The underwriter did his homework and now I have another $4K to play with. Thanks a TON, Jeff! Hollowed ground for you, partner! No problem, now you have to find another car I guess huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang DAN Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 As far as the price guide, try NADAguides.com. They list the Shelby GT as a distinct model from the GT 500 and GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
