NordicShelby Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Awesome. You will have the only Grabber orange SS with Silver Stripes. I wonder if Shelby would convert a Silver KR into a SS? A person could take off all the KR parts and replace them with stock GT500 parts then send it in for the conversion. They would have the only silver SS ever and still have $20K of KR parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A person could take off all the KR parts and replace them with stock GT500 parts then send it in for the conversion. They would have the only silver SS ever and still have $20K of KR parts. Why replace them with anything at all? Take the KR hood off, leave it off (Shelby puts a new SS hood on). Take the KR wheels off, put 2 steel mustang wheels on with junk rubber. Same with everything else. No need to replace with GT500 parts, just parts that allow the car to move. Shelby keeps the take-off parts but they don't say they have to be GT500 take off parts!

supersnake junkie Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Well I got the OK from the boss to put my hat in the ring for the signature edition Super Snake build. At this time we have yet to even purchase the donor car, but I can tell you its almost MORE exciting the second time around. I have reserved #11/50 total cars spanning all years, and our intention is to start with a low mileage Grabber Orange GT500 as a base car. Any thoughts on if one year is better than the other? I am also curious to hear what you all think would be a cool wheel finish and stripe color as we can choose any combo we want! Merry Christmas to all!!! Jim Well Jim & Coleen, Congratulations to both of you!!!! You are living life to the full for sure,I'm excited for both of you!!! So I'm assuming that you are keeping the widebody convertible as well,and adding the GO to the stable.............Wicked!!!!! I think your color combination is going to be awesome and will certainly "Grab" people's attention! You had better save a few more pennies for next years Bash so we can all hook up again and hang out together,we are missing this years but should be there next yearso no excuses!!!! Look forward to hearing and seeing all the updates and the finished car!⚠️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could, but this car will probably be done mid March, so it just doesn't make sense to do 2 trips in one month. And yes, we are most definitely keeping the WB Vert, need another garage tho......lol Oddly enough, I got some updates yesterday...will post soon.

supersnake junkie Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Thanks for all the input guys! I am waiting to hear back from the seller of a nice 08 GO with around 4500 miles on the clock. Waiting on undercarriage shots..... While I would love to start with a '13 or '14 for the power, I foresee most of them being built this way. If only they offered the GO for more than 2 years!!! I am looking for something different, and I think Pat nailed it with the silver stripes. I think the wife really digs the silver on the GO, but then what about the wheels....polished aluminum? I wish they still offered a chrome, but there is always aftermarket wheels I guess. Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!!! Jim Just as an afterthought Jim,I personally would go with the polished wheels with your GO with silver stripes car. I love the polished look on wheels and I think that polished would look great on your colour/stripe combination! If you had black stripes going on it them maybe black or the darker option would look ok on it,but silver stripe and polished.........Sexy!!!!

mavisky Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I like the silver stripes over the middle, but the sides stripes in that one photo posted prior just disappeared.I think the GO cars really look best with the black stripes. Maybe go with a subtle change to matte black instead of the factory gloss black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you get closer it is not very pronounced, which is what I prefer. I wanted something unique and subtle, thus I went with the silver. Thanks for the input!

shelbymotorsports Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Steve, what about the Upfitter or 427 package for the KR? The upfit package nor the Nascar 427 package came with a unique CSM number so that would not be considered double stacking. Same with adding the SC package to a Shelby GT, there's no CSM number for the SC package so it too wouldn't be considered double stacking of packages.

Picking it up during the Bash would be very cool! I am hoping at least to get her that week. More than likely I will not do the bash due to lack of time. I would like to meet up with some of the folks I have hung out with over the past couple years even if only for a bit! That's looking awesome, Jim!
