MyBlueHeaven Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Found this browsing the Shelby's on ebay today. Not sure if it's a tru CS8 or not but I'm sure Steve could probably weigh in. they provided the vin# so it should be easy to check. Very nice looking car though. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-Mustang-Shelby-CS8-Prototype-2006-Ford-Mustang-Shelby-CS8-Prototype-/300844654209?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item460bbd1e81 Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK PONY Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Saw it a few days ago, it looks right.....hate their choice of seat coverings though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHELBYCS6 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Wow...this car only had a max bid of $26k, that is truly sad. I know you don't get out of them what you put into them but I know with ordering my new vehicle, the turn II kit, installation, paint etc. I have over $70k in my CS6. This CS8 even has the engine built and custom interior (don't know what they were thinking there...lol) A bid this low must seem like an insult...I wonder what the reserve was.

shelbymotorsports Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 At one point the seller was asking $64,000 And for the record, Shelby Automobiles did not build this car. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbymotorsports Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 So is the "Prototype" dash plaque from SA? No the plaque is NOT from SAI. Steve UPDATE: More research has done on this car. This particular Ford Mustang GT, VIN 1ZVHT82H965211458, has been reviewed by SAI management and should not be considered an authorized Shelby build. Upon closer inspection of the dash plaque you will see that it contains a Southern California buisness name. I am unable to confirm if even that company modified this Mustang GT.

stngfever Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 The plaque having been provided by SAI shows that this was an authorized "Prototype" and therefore don't see how this is any different then other "Prototypes" ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007tungstenGT500 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 yeah, no offense, but that sounds like a bit of back-tracking. it might have been built by someone else, but it looks a lot like a shelby to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stngfever Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 What about the 40th, supersnakes, SGT/SC, Terlingua, etc... vehicles built by the mod shops, should these also "not be compared to the ones built by SAI in vegas"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyKR664 Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 And this story still continues. I just found the same car, same pictures, same ad, same price on Ebay. Did anything ever come from verifying if this was a true CS8? I love the car . http://www.ebay.com/itm/222176030277 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyKR664 Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Thanks Steve, I see that now. What a shame . The owner needs to come clean on this. I doubt the car even exists sense it is the exact ad from 1/13. The kids should be out of school too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the car even exists sense it is the exact ad from 1/13. The kids should be out of school too! This car has been through multiple owners and I suspect the seller is putting out there what they were told. That doesn't make it right, just something we have to accept happens all the time. I've never understood buyers who purchase a car without any documentation to back up the sellers claims. Do they not understand the seller has an incentive to tell them mis-truths to make the sale?
