JeffJ Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Wow, 4 coupes and the 5 speed vert. Cool. Maybe I can get my father in law to bid on the vert! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJ Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 First coupe just went for $30K before fees. Pretty much have been at this amount for quite a few years now. At least they have not been depreciating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dh777 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 06H186 was a Honolulu car. I always wondered what happened to it and 06H185. I rented 06H185 and happened to see 06H186 in the hotel parking lot one day while we were there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dh777 Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 It was the first Shelby I had ever driven ..... I remember. That's what started all this madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARALD KELLEY Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) It was the first Shelby I had ever driven ..... I remember. That's what started all this madness. This may not be 100% spot on but I think fairly close: Agree with Steve that it is cool that you remember. The GT-H started it for many would be owners and also helped kick started SAI again. IMO I have to say Amy Boylan & team did good with the program and then the SGTs. In 2006 Shelby stated "we did it in 1966 and we are doing it again". I think that's a fairly significant piece of Shelby history for the 2nd generation cars. Edited September 29, 2013 by H0050 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITHERTZ66 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I need to see video of that bidding on the '66. I can't believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJ Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) I need to see video of that bidding on the '66. I can't believe it. Doesn't seem to crazy to me? There are quite a few for sale out there right now for $130K plus for not very nice ones. It's not the record. There are some probably equally as nice for sale for $170K or less, so it is high, but not crazy for a Saturday night Barrett Jackson sale when people get stupid sometimes.

All including fees. I am going to say not bad. Of course these are all low millage cars. How about the 07 manual trans car? The 220K for a GT-350 H, wow.

Had it not been for the GTH there would have been no SGT or anything else! SAI would have continued to build Cobras etc. When the GTH came out Ford dealers were all up about the fact they had nothing to sell to a renter after. There was a BIG hole between the GT and the GT500 and Ford and Shelby saw an opportunity to do something together modeled after the 60's arrangement rather than the Ford factory arrangement of the GT500. The success of the SGT lead to other opportunities and the rest is history. See here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 30 years from now this will have a significant impact on the value of these cars for those who continue to own them. As some collector magazines state, one of many factors for car value is the impact it had on the automotive world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITHERTZ66 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Yep....The Hertz car is so much more significant than most realize. I would dare say that they are the most historically significant Shelby automobile built since the mid 60s. The initial investors/collectors who paid through the nose for these when they came to public auction knew..... I've been PLEASANTLY surprised that the prices for these have come down to an affordable level as of late, otherwise I would never have been able to get one. These are now collectible cars that you can enjoy and DRIVE. Keep driving them or they will not be seen/admired, and nobody will continue to care as the next generation comes into cars.
