Don Johnston Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 The primary concern for Shelby GT350 owners now and in the future will be the availability of replacement parts and customer support of this model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Johnston Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 The 11' to 14' Shelby GT350 will become the most collectable of all the new era Shelby's. I have not even seen one in person yet, When I was driving around the California coast last month, the most common comment that I received was that it was the first time the viewer had seen one. GT500 Mustangs were very common, but not the GT350. Since total production (yet unknown) is estimated to be only in the few hundreds, versus the 2007 to present production of GT500 Mustangs being over 40,000, the rare sighting is obvious.

Jer I am also concerned about the availability of specific exterior and interior that were made exclusively for the GT350. Items such as the rims, bumpers, hood, logo items, etc. Mechanical parts will be around as most are still produced for other Fords. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the GT350's all the time , you just don't see many 40TH anniversary GT500s - maybe people get them confused with other GT500s The 11' to 14' Shelby GT350 will become the most collectable of all the new era Shelby's. I have not even seen one in person yet, Wonder what that will do to the resale prices of a more "rare " Shelby like the 40th anniversary and Terlingua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Johnston Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 So far in Hawaii there are two 2011 GT350, one 40th GT500 and no Terlinguas to my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 40th and Terlingua will surely be collectable too, but not as disirable to the average buyer. The Shelby GT will be the one most can afford.

mikeljgt500kr Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Yes, it will be a valuable collectable eventually. I remind people my '68 GT500KR sat on a dealer lot from early May, 1968 to October, 1968, and it took a steep discount and some extra options (AM/8-Track player) to get it sold. So, the GT350 could take a while too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be the fact that 4 of my friends have both. In fact, half of the total number of Terlinguas belong to friends. I think that is pretty cool!

39Mustang Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I wish they would bring the Terlingua's back, but Gary P. explained its complicated and don't want to repeat what he said. That's a shame because a 2015 Mustang Terlingua with the eco-boost V6 could have huge potential and I am NO fan of 6-bangers! That is one of the things that irk's me is how greedy do you need to be!! We all could be enjoying a newer version but too much selfishness ruins it for everyone Yes, I know why and leaving the names out of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Johnston Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 It would sure be nice that Shelby American Mustang model had posted total production numbers as soon as the last one was completed. It has been repeatedly stated by SAI spokes[persons that each model would be limited production in order to sustain rarity and value, yet it is like pulling teeth to get the final production numbers. I have also seen very few Terlinguas except at a few regional Ford/Shelby events. I have never seen one on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Johnston Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 If it has to be an EcoBoost, enviro-kook type six-banger car, forget it. Agreed. I have the twin turbo 6 in my Explorer Sport and cannot fathom a 365 HP power plant in any Mustang, much less an upgraded performer with a GT350 nameplate. Keep it powerful or keep it home!

ShelbyKR664 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I hope the 40th anniversary 08 KR's have stopped their free fall and start leveling off. The KR is a beast which can't hurt things. I agree with the GT350 collectability formula. Limited build, quality package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
