QuickSilverShelby Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Damn, if the 07 #001 sold for $165,000 then the 06 #001 is +$200,000 easily. Shitty. QSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJ Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Where did you see that it sold? QSS Watching live on TV, but the list should be updated now to that one. You now have to register at Barrett-Jackson.com to see the sales price list when you click on the docket. It only takes a minute to register. I guess they want marketing info. Harald, Yes, this car 07001, was an auto. 06001 has a number that places it on Saturday's auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickSilverShelby Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I just had a look at the BJ site and yes indeed it went for $181,500 including commissions. I guess I can kiss 06 #001 goodbye. I thought if it went for $110,00 to $125,00 I'd be in the running. Jeeze, I was wayyyy off. Oh well, at least I get to save $100 for the phone bidders card I was set to get. Maybe a Ford GT. QSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITHERTZ66 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 The winning buyer on the vert was wearing a Camaro shirt? Yea, it looks like the coupe is going to have to be $200K with that strong vert price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickSilverShelby Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I bet both the 06 #001 and 07 #001 wind up in the same collection. I bet somewhere in Oklahoma. QSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Harald, in no way was I thinking $125k for a Ford GT but if you're gonna look at spending $200k+ you might as well look at an 05-06 FGT. You never know, the new one might be in that price range.

07H231 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 The 2007 was selling at no reserve as is the vast majority of the Pratte collection. The 2006 is one of the very few in the collection that has a reserve (according to the BJ website) so it may not sell at all. I drove over and back yesterday from Las Vegas just to see some of these very special Shelbys in person that may be locked away for ever after this week. I didn't want to regret not seeing them while I had the chance. Could not believe the number of people that were there on a Tuesday. Well worth the trip.

shelbymotorsports Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Anyone notice that 07H001 was missing the fog lights/brake ducts? And again another low mile GTH with silver brake calipers, but hopefully that debate has been settled. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbymotorsports Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Well the #001 07 Vert just sold for $165,000. So that's pretty amazing I think. While that certainly is a respectable price but after re-watching the auction coverage this GTH clearly stalled out at $80k and if if was you or me selling the car, the hammer would have fallen at that price. But since this is the B-J "show" and its who you know, that the car was keep on the block so that Davis could manipulate the bids as only the B-J folks can. I highly doubt this car would have brought $165k on eBay or AutoTrader. I'm in no way putting the car down and would love to own it myself, I'm just commenting on how B-J can manipulate selling prices. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again another low mile GTH with silver brake calipers, but hopefully that debate has been settled. Steve It also didn't have the rear spoiler and it had a GT emblem on the simulated gas cap on the trunk instead of the Mustang running horse. So - missing the foglight and brake ducts, rear spoiler and wrong trunk emblem. How does that solve the black brake or silver brake caliper question? That car had more wrong with it than right to effectively call that the measurement by which all others should be judged. With all respect Steve and no desire to start an argument. I am not convinced about the brake calipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phyllis Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Like I said before I have a low mileage executive GT H and I have been around this GT H since new and the calipers came black on this GT H.

shelbymotorsports Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I thought the brake calipers were only painted on the '06? The controversy is, did SAI paint the brake calipers black? The answer is no they did not. Now that doesn't mean your GTH can't have black brake calipers but if so they came that way from Ford's supplier or were replaced during rental service. I've inspected a GTH with black brake calipers and although most of the black paint had flaked off there was a portion of black paint that had either a part number or inspection number silkscreened on top of the black paint. There is no way that SAI is going to paint a brake caliper black and then duplicate silkscreened numbers on top of the fresh black paint. This is in addition to that I don't recall SAI painting the calipers and that every employee I've asked says no to the painting of them. This controversy all stems back to an early press release or magazine article that said the calipers were being painted black but in production that didn't happen. Same with the prototype Hertz emblems, they had a black background that was eliminated when the cars went into production. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phyllis Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I will look at mine this weekend to see if I see a number. I saw this GT H come off the shipping truck to the Hertz executive and they where black from day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve, So you're saying that every single 2006 GT-H that I've ever looked at which also had black painted calipers, was done by some Hertz location? Including the one I rented as I watched it come off of the truck from Vegas to the Denver Airport? 06#100. So if this is the case, you're saying then that Ford shipped it to SAI this way? This car had 12 miles on it when I picked it up from DIA. Came off the trailer, they stuck a temp tag in the rear window and I was off to the Rocky Mountain Mustang Round-up in 2006.

Jeff Yes I'm saying that if the car has black colored calipers that either the car arrived from Ford that way or that the calipers were changed during rental service. When I say being changed in rental service I'm not saying that Hertz changed the calipers because of the color but am saying that perhaps the service replacement calipers were black. I've been told from Hertz that the number one service issue they had was brakes. Makes sense when you consider how many renters power-braked these cars to death and how many renters took the car up to speed and them back down.

Steve Steve, AJ stated in a post some time ago that the black calipers were a last minute request of HERTZ. With that, he did not mention anything as to who painted if any. I have also heard that some early cars were done and then discontinued. That may have just been a rumor and most likely is based on you and AJ's information. All that said, I love the mist eke of these cars. You are correct about the press release because there was one where it mentioned that each owner would get a autographed picture that never happened.

JeffJ Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Yep, that would be very different from what Amy told me at dinner in Terlingua in 2008. I guess we'll just never know who painted the calipers. I just went through my old pictures from the RMMR in 2006 where we had 6 cars fresh from delivery at DIA as rental cars. All of them clearly have black calipers. Quite the mystery. Going through all of the magazines I have (including the GTH Book), any place you can see the calipers, they are black, front and rear. Only picture I can find in stock finish of silver, is on a lift where a car has not been striped yet, Mustang Monthly August 2006 page 33. The world may never know how they became black.

phyllis Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I'm sticking to black because my GT H was never rented or the calipers changed. Funny how 9 years later we are having these discussions. Wait until 25 years past and the stories start. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
