Anton Ruighaver Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 WOW, Ouch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67R8L5vVbCE&feature=youtu.be If you look closely in the beginning, the car looks like it has a Team Shelby sticker in the lower drivers corner of the windshield...

twobjshelbys Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 What an idiot. He's lucky none of the pedestrians nearby were hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoChris Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Wow to the point above; glad no pedestrians were hit and that he didn't have a passenger. Guessing his insurance company is extremely happy to have him as a customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing his insurance company is extremely happy to have him as a customer. I'm guessing his insurance company is more happy to have him as a former customer. With the video, he's going to be toast. And with the prior company's note that it was wreckless (probably with a citation for street racing) he'll have big trouble getting coverage from anyone. In fact, a first time DUI may have an easier time than this guy. By the way, the area looked pretty residential to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shel-b001 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 To think he could have saved it by letting off when it broke away to the left instead he stayed on it & over corrected & spun out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry T Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 A sad way for a Shelby to go ... Just glad everyone was ok, but on a side note I am not a big fan of his rim choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbymotorsports Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 This GT500 was not listed in the SAI Registry but now is along with a note about the wreck. Rear window has an owner applied decal that reads "Carolina Super Snake". Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhr1961 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 This looked like it happened at a car show in North Carolina. All the license plates in the video were NC plates. You can see the Shelby’s Rear Plate clearly at .45 to .47 minutes in to the video. Unfortunately, this type of hooning happens at too many car shows. Downside: several nice cars were wrecked and driver was injured. Upside: No bystanders injured and that model year GT500 most likely just became a fraction of a percent rarer.

Secondo Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 They didn't even try to correct the spin at all, the front tires are completly straight and full throttle while hitting the truck. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing Jim....like all have said sad to see a Shelby destroyed but could have been much worse if he had a passenger or hit someone walking.

David Hawkins Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 I am not sure why the Truck was being Towed away, it looked Drivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_GT350 Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 I am not sure why the Truck was being Towed away, it looked Drivable. really I hope you're kidding.... the quarter panel was pushed into the left rear tire. The truck was running when it got hit so it most likely tripped the fuel pump kill switch and the lights were gone from the right rear, that's a safety violation.

We also do not know the physical condition of the trucks driver. He was whipped around pretty violently and may have not been in any condition to drive.

I looked at it again and to me, it looked like the Left Rear Quarter was not on the Tire, it looked about 3 or 4 inches off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seriously think it was safely drivable on the street? Maybe it will move under its own power but at least one tailight is nonfunctional. Even if you could drive it away why bother? Its next stop obviously needs to be the body shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ageishecker Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 The damage to the GT500 doesn't say much for the side impact protection. I know the forward motion increased the damage but that side was caved in pretty badly. I also saw no evidence of any air bags delpoying. Doesn't that seem strange for that kind of impact?

It was a center Side impact with no one in the Passenger Seat so I think no Sensors were activated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedrx Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 So does this car get fixed or parted out? Probably an insurance total and auctioned off, someone will probably put it back in service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
