talladega Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 A friend of mine has an essentially new SGT that he intends to try selling at auction. He drove it a few miles home from the dealership and put it in storage. He's a long-time car guy so it was stored properly. Firstly, I'm curious what the concensus is on what kind of price you guys think it might bring. Secondly, I'd hate to just have him take it to auction if someone here is looking for that type car to keep or to drive. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT93 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Do you have any photos of the car that you could post? It would definitely help draw some interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 If you'll check and input info into nada.com and kbb.com, that will provide some good info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talladega Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hi guys Kbb.com doesn't even have SGT's as a Mustang model and NADA says about $28000. Would you sell a zero mile SGT for that? I believe those guides do a poor job of valuing cars with any potential collectability. Everything is just a used car to them and they certainly favor the dealer or insurance company in valuing a car. That said, it is only worth what someone will pay for it. Sorry if this sounds like a rant! Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITHERTZ66 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 $30K tops - that's what they cost brand new here at the end of the model year when they were stuck sitting on lots and had to move. These were never intended to be "investment" cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I agree $30K would be about right, it also depends on options, for $30K it should be loaded. If I owned it I would be happy to get $30K. I sometimes wonder what I would get if I sold, but I have over $60K invested in mine, I still think much over $30-35K would be difficult and mine is a Certified GT/SC.

2007_Shelby_GT Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 If he gets enough attention, he may do well at auction. Depending on the CSM number and with the passing of Mr. Shelby, as well as the low/no miles on the car, it's entirely possible to go over 30k. Need a detailed options list as well, rare interior colors and the like garner collectors. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 It's a shame when people buy cars and think they will double their money in 5 years. It simply doesn't happen. Now he'll sell it for not much more than any other used Shelby GT (and about 1/2 of what he paid), and have missed out on the fun of driving it. The SGT is a very fun car to drive.

I have never seen a real GT/SC for sale. I would think $35 would be easy to get for it if had under 10,000 miles. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoChris Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Why not put it on eBay with a high reserve just to test the waters? To your earlier piont, It is only worth what someone else will pay you for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this sounds like a rant! Brad Kbb.com does have it as a "Shelby package" if you go through all the steps. I think those guides are just that, as is anyone's opinion here. The jury is still out regarding "collectibility"' and I think that answer may be many years away. You hit the nail on the head though...it's worth is whatever someone is willing to pay for it...and hopefully that's a good, high number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I have never seen a real GT/SC for sale. I would think $35 would be easy to get for it if had under 10,000 miles. But that's just me. You are right it is very rare, I have seen only a few for sale in the past 5 years so it is very difficult to know what the market will bring. Good thing is I am not selling, my car has 13,000 miles. I would think $35K would be about right, but again it would take a buyer that knows what they are buying. I hope it is worth more, mine is paid off, every year I will continue to make it mine. I plan to paint the stripes and get the Interior Upgrade at some point, after those I think I am done with mods.

William Rodgers Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Forgive my lack of knowledge, what is a GT/SC? I know what a SGT is. It is a Shelby GT with the Supercharger Package on it from one of the Approved Mod Shops, probably one of the rarest Shelby's available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Rodgers Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Can anyone confirm this? I tried looking it up and could not find it. If this is true its a good sign, not that I am selling. Think about all those people that paid $70k plus for the GT500 in 2007, at least this guy appears to have broken even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblectric Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Sold on Friday. Lot #F171. No vin so I couldn't look up sticker to confirm options. Only interior pic revealed no interior upgrade package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
