ilmor Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Why are they being called "Custom"? Will these be sold on the black market at Pre-Title Shelbys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAI-Steven Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Interesting news but horrible news reporting. They "borrowed" video of a Shelby GTH and NOT of a Shelby GT350. Then the reporter claims six cars were stolen but their news footage graphics say seven cars. The reporter then goes on to say that the cars were stolen right off the assembly line and that the owners were to take delivery of them "today", say what? I don't even see any GT350 stripes on this white car so how were they to be delivered today? GT350's sit for weeks at Flat Rock so how could they be right off the assembly line and ready for delivery today? Speaking of stripes, are these stolen Mustangs even GT350's? No stripes, no trunk spoiler and those wheels don't look like Shelby wheels but it could just be the poor video I'm looking at. Has to more to this story or at least more accurate reporting.

mhr1961 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I agree. I noticed the burned car had no stripes or spoiler. The car was trashed and stripped pretty badly. I guess they could have stripped the spoiler but I doubt they took the time to peel stripes. And yes it was horribly sloppy reporting. I tried to find other info on the web about the theft but could find nothing else but this particular station. One would think this theft would have been picked up or reported on by other media.

freakyjoe Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 It's horrible news the the owners may have to wait longer for their Shelbys. My 350 has no stripes, and I'm being badgered to have them added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shel-b001 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Wow how sad for someone waiting for their car , but the thieves would not be able to drive that fast because they would be in Transport mode. No? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to find other info on the web about the theft but could find nothing else but this particular station. One would think this theft would have been picked up or reported on by other media. I too found it strange that no other Michigan news websites reported on this theft. "Speaking of stripes, are these stolen Mustangs even GT350's? No stripes, no trunk spoiler and those wheels don't look like Shelby wheels but it could just be the poor video I'm looking at." You can get the GT350 without stripes. Yes I understand that no stripes is an option. What I was trying to convey is that the burned car had no apparent signs of being a GT350 so how did this reporter know the burned car was a GT350 when the reporter uses video footage of a GTH rental car to depict what was stolen. In my opinion we do not have the full story. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubbsFaris Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Who cares? LOL Same thing happened to a bunch of GT500s back in 2008 or 2009. Union Bosses getting the merchandise that "falls off the back of the truck", Capeesh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there's probably six (or is it seven) people that I'm sure care especially if these cars were pre-sold units Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denstang65 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 I know who did it; Memphis Raines! Just sounded like his work! LOL All kidding aside, that is a bummer! I know because I have been a victim myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhr1961 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 I still think its odd that only that one station had any mention of this theft and that it wasn't even clear if they were actually GT350's. I spent about 15 minutes searching the net, even checked other local newspapers for May 4 thru May 7 and got nothing. Also went over to police and fire report pages for Detroit and got nothing on it. I guess so many cars get stolen and burned there that even seven cars at once isn't "headline" or middle page news anymore..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
