Sherri Leicht Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 ^ oh but it was! The car is a blast to drive. It is quick and has some torque. I was her foster mommy for a while. She has always been in our shared storage with great company. Always super well maintained and kept clean and covered. She has been to lots of Shelby and MCA functions. I didn't quite agree with Tim taking her away from "stock" 40 Anniversary condition but it was his car and his choice. Enjoy her and learn about our 40th Anniversary Edition cars :-). Only 312 made and a few have been totaled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007tungstenGT500 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 thank you! i'm going to ensure i have all the correct parts to restore it exactly to 40th specifications, pack some of those components away for safe keeping and add a few mods of my own. OEM Eaton and gunmetal razors will be among those that get stored and will be replaced by my current silver razors and FRPP TVS kit for normal use. Also plan to swap my current Eibach Pro-Street suspension pieces to the car as well as my current exhaust setup (will buy another Borla kit for storing). Lastly, i'll swap out my Super Snake shifter, extreme duty heat exchanger and aluminum drive shaft. Should be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b17drvr Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Msmap (Sherri) has the extra key. You may have to fight her for it. Also, Sherri- I think you took yours from "stock" condition too when Alex did the work on it. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Leicht Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Suspension and smaller pulley but all else is 40th stock :-) I guess I better go find the key for a small ransom!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007tungstenGT500 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 the dealership is going to provide a replacement Shaker 1000 head unit, but do you still have the subwoofer and sub amps? i may just upgrade to the Kicker system but not sure yet.

b17drvr Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Yes, I have the original sub and amps- and a few other goodies. There is a list in the PM I sent you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vapor08GT500 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Congrats 2007tungstenGT500!! You are getting a great car at a great price!! I think it is great that someone on TS bought it. Both Sherri and Tim are fantastic people and took great care of her, so no worries and be assured you got a fantastic deal for the money. I think it should also be noted that Tim is amazing to have posted so much after he traded the car in, even during the holidays and his busy work schedule. It goes to show what a great guy he is!! I hope you are still enjoying your LS, Tim (I haven't had time to drive mine since the 50th in Vegas) and that you are loving the 50th 15. I went to the 16 GT350 Reveal in Gardena and think you will love it too!! Sherri: See you in a few days!! Bring your 40th...haven't seen her since 2012....have to see her every 2 years right?

Ford Fest Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Congrats on landing the 40th! Sounds like you got an amazing car at an amazing price.

LOL Alex Thank you to all of you. And "yes", I absolutely agree... "thank you" again, Tim. I really appreciate it. I plan to bring the car to tip-top shape and basically store it, with the exception of an occasional hill-country drive or car show. Guess I'd better wait until I take delivery and inventory everything before I buy any replacements, but it sure is hard to do! I'm wondering if this is Sherri's car...?

2007red40thGT500 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Happy New Year! Thank you, very much. I'm pretty amped up about it. I plan to take delivery of the car this Saturday. While I don't think the 40th package went far enough, it's definitely my favorite from SAI. I'm also excited about owning a more exclusive version of the modern-day Shelby Mustangs. I absolutely fell in love with the tungsten/silver stripe combo, of which there were only 384 GT500 coupes manufactured only in 2007, but it's nice to have a car that was also modified by Shelby American. So, I've already purchased the extreme coolant tanks and radiator, as well as a watts link and replacement Borla touring cat-back system. I probably won't install that exhaust kit since I have had it on my current GT500 before and wasn't all that crazy about it, but I want to have it for correctness. That said, I'm curious what the rest of you might think about the following: - I plan to install my existing FRPP TVS, which will require that I find an OEM Eaton for my tungsten car. If so, should I keep this original OEM Eaton with the 40th car? Or is it enough to pick up another used Eaton in the future (one with the OEM pulley still intact)? - Anybody know where I can get a replacement leather seat cover for the driver's side seat? I remember when SAI couldn't get rid of them fast enough just a few years ago and now I can't find any (other than the ridiculously expensive Ford parts dealers).

NordicShelby Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 I suppose a new TS account is in order. You can easily change your name instead of creating a new account.You just have to email an admin. I had Robert change my screen name back in 2009.

2007red40thGT500 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 ahh ok. too late. thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Fest Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 In regard to the OEM Eaton, I wouldn't be concerned. Put the TVS on it and ask Steve to update the registry showing it as an owner mod. You'll want to update the registry as being the new owner as well. Have you contact SPP about the seat cover? They may still have one available, especially with the new Special SS conversions coming up. I too, am a fan of the tungsten w/silver. There was a tungsten 40th sold recently on Russo. Nice looking car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007tungstenGT500 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 ok, thanks for the info. yeah, that car was really awesome. a touch out of my price range though. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Leicht Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 You can get the seat repaired at an upholstery shop. It is the standard Ford 07 gt500 stuff. It has Corsa exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
