FILF Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 My buddy is thinking about buying this SGT on Craigslist. http://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/cto/3458233634.html Just thought I would put some feelers out there for what you guys think and if anyone knows any history on this beauty. Only 700 miles I doubt there is much of a history though! Thanks in advance, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffIsHereToo Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I looks as though the hood scoop is original. I would check that and get with Ford/SA to see if the car still qualifies for a warranty replacement or what it will cost out-of-pocket. Jer can tell us perhaps if the new scoops are even still in stock. Bit it's for sure something I would get done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffIsHereToo Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Oh...stripes should look good (though right now based upon the pictures it's sitting outside) but these are the VERY early version and prone to environmental damage if not WELL taken care of. So depending upon how he intends to use the car that would be a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stngfever Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Google search shows the phone number is potentialy a body shop. Could be nothing, however, further review may be neccesary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FILF Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thanks for the info. Already warned him about the hood scoop and the stripes he knows about since he has seen mine The stripes are actually on my winter project list. Also looking at the front of the car the stripe on the left bumber looks like there is a pretty decent size scuff on it but that may just be the picture. What do you guys think about the price?

shelbymotorsports Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Google search shows the phone number is potentialy a body shop. Could be nothing, however, further review may be neccesary. That body shop comes up under Results for similar searches so I don't believe its the same person. 07SGT0031 was shipped to a New York dealership. Price seems to be in the ballpark considering the mileage. On a related note, this SGT was one of the first 25 cars to arrive at SAI back in December 2006. If your buddy is looking for a white SGT then I would say this is a very good candidate and that he should go look at it. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FILF Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Much appreciated Steve, I just relayed that info over to my friend. On a side note my wife Kami said she had a great conversation with you the other day, I'll be ordering a new window sticker to forward over to my insurance company in the next day or two.

2007_Shelby_GT Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Not a "Sandy" sale, I hope! Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 and it has the rare grey interior. Is the signature just the dash plaque? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FILF Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 The Sandy sale phenomenon that seems to be happening around this area was the first thing I brought up to my friend and yes I do believe the "signed by Carrol Shelby" is just the dash plaque since the seller can't even bother to spell his name correctly.

ChicagoChris Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Aside from the visual inspection, a 6 year old car with <1,000 miles can have problems. Was the oil ever changed? If so, when in the mileage/driving history? How and where was it stored? Chek the AC compressor as the seals can dry if not run enough. If purchased I would flush all fluids first tihing; brake fluid is often over looked. Not driving a car is as bad as over driving one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FILF Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Great detective work! My friend tried calling the number last night and it was ringing to a Verizon recording that the call can't be completed. He's going to try calling again today but now he is also thinking about this one: http://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/3402079808.html Price seems a bit high though. I just sent him the link for the 40th anniversary for sale in NJ in this thread: http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php/topic/78614-07xl0215-for-sale/page__hl__%2B40th+%2Bsale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
