denohew Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 I have been on this forum for awhile now and it just dawned on me that I have never posted a pic! This is a 2013 one of one. 4,000 miles. Only option not on it are Recaro's because Ford would not install them in this particular order. But hey the only Superman made in 13. The one in the background is a loaded 14 with 100 miles! . denohew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Alibi 2 Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) According to the 2013 GT500 order PDF, red accents weren't an available order option with Grabber Blue. . According to the SVT 2013 GT500 production number spread sheet, Ford built no Grabber Blue coupes with Colorado Red Stripes. . According to the SVT 2013 GT500 production number spread sheet, there were 159 Grabber Blue coupes built with Black accent Recaro seats, & 53 Grabber Blue coupes with White accent Recaro seats.

Torched10 Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 When I bought my 14.that's the combo I wanted but it wasnt offered that way. You can probably still get window sticker to confirm. if it's real than you have a unicorn It doesn't show up for 14 either= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a window sticker, this is little more than a cool story. Data provided by Ford Performance lists the following "1 of 1" 13/14 MY GT500s: - a 13 MY SGM / White Convertible with Standard Seats - a 13 MY DIB / Red Convertible with Standard Seats - a 13 MY SGM / Red Convertible with Recaro Seats - a 13 MY GB / Stripe Delete Convertible - a 14 MY GHIG Convertible - a 14 MY RR / Blue Convertible with Recaro Seats* - a 14 MY OW Convertible with Smoker's Package** - a 14 MY RR Convertible exported to Mexico* - a 14 MY OW Convertible that was exported** *Data from Ford Performance lacks detail to confirm whether these are the same or different cars. **Data from Ford Performance lacks detail to confirm whether these are the same or different cars. My car is 1 of 22 I believe, it's DIB and red stripes. Not my first choice but I wanted a blue Shelby. According to Ford Performance, you are correct if your car came equipped with Recaros. (There were 9 additional DIB/Red Coupes built with Standard Seats, along with a total of 6 similarly colored Convertibles.)

2007red40thGT500 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 the dealer could have easily changed the stripes for any reason in the world and you'd be none the wiser if you weren't paying close attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007red40thGT500 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 in fact, they (or somebody) must have. there were NO red package badging on any 14 model year cars either. easy enough to buy and add though by anybody with opposable thumbs.

Robert M Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Yup. They wouldn't go to expense of changing out the inserts. It could be dyed but itd show.must be real. Wow But, there are many Shelby auctions recently on eBay that offer the GT500 take-off interior seat covers for the owners who are choosing the Super Snake upgrade interior option, so I would not count that out either. The GT500 leather seat covers (all varieties) are wayyyy to common on eBay through Shelby Auctions and have been for the last few years, 2013/14 most recently. These leather interior GT500 covers are easily bought for less than $1000 for the complete set front and rear, so if someone "really" wanted to make it "Red Stripe", it would not be hard, or that expensive. As was also mentioned above in post #13, I looked for the Red snakes on other Red Striped 2014 GT500's as searched in Google, and in "images" of those 2014's with Red Stripes, I did not see any that had Red snakes as was the case with the earlier cars with the Red Stripe option, but this 2014 has Red snakes??

denohew Posted February 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) It also had red inserts in the S-H-E-L-B-Y lettering on the back of the car. The fake gas cap in back does not have a red snake. All the other red snake emblems are the exact same size as my other Shelby.

Robert M Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Also, if the factory window sticker is unavailable, the drivers door jamb sticker will tell the story. Below is my 2008 GT500. The D3 Torch Red Exterior Color in the upper left, the GR Black/Red Interior Color Option is shown below the D3 Exterior Color and the Stripe Option E is shown below "TR" to the right of "AXLE" which is the Exterior Trim. Mine is a factory Torch Red - Black Striped car, "E" being Black Stripes. denohew - Your car should have CI (Grabber Blue) in the area mine has D3. Your car should have 6D (Standard Seats) Red Accent in the area where I have GR. Then note #3 below is the indicator of exterior stripe color. Please Note: 1. Convertible requires (CA) top code 2. Over-the-top & GT500® side stripes standard on coupe and convertible 3. Interior choice determines exterior stripe color 4. (46D) stripe delete requires (6X or QX) Interior ^^^^^^^^^^^So if there is no window sticker, this info. on the car door jamb tells the story. To verify, this is where the information came from, related to the 2014 GT500. http://www.mustangheaven.com/info/2014-Shelby-GT500-Order-Guide.pdf R Edited February 6, 2016 by Robert M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norton Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 A ghig gt500 sold at Barrett for 500k Think it was a 13 but not sure.had black stripes Correct on the auction, but it was definitely a 2014 MY car. (As the story goes, it was one of the last ones in the production run.) Pics located here.

This Grabber/ Red car was ordered by me and is an early 13 year model. 20th anniversary on door sills. denohew That confirms it's been modified, whether by the dealer or someone else - factory badging was not color-coordinated to the stripes on these cars. As indicated on page 24 of the 2013 Mustang Brochure, Grabber/Red was not an available combination to order, regardless of whether it was early or late in the production run.

( vehicle order confirmation ) This sheet will list the: Exterior color. Seat color combination. Stripe color. . While ordering my 14, I had the salesman input a ( 47D ) code, ( OTT delete ), and the system locked up. The computer wouldn't accept any code other than what the factory would build. To process an order, you have to play by Ford's rules. . I don't see how you could have ordered a car Ford wouldn't build ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
