QuickSilverShelby Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Saw that, looks nice and it's an amazing driving car. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Mustang-HERTZ-GT-H-/122055369652?forcerrptr=true&hash=item1c6b1123b4:g:VYUAAOSwtnpXkOXw&item=122055369652 QSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAI-Steven Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 From the ebay ad: "We understand that there is a “GT-H” logo on the engine, a rarity in rental cars. I bet this has been done to tell the 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-H apart in case it is taken to a show probably by collectors in future." Wonder where this engine logo is at, strange that there is no photo of it in the auction. Maybe it came off with the "more juice" under the hood The dealership where this GTH is at does not show the car on is website, was hoping to find an asking price there. Let's hope it finds a nice home. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnhrvy Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Definitely would be great to add a third TS member with a 2016. Edited July 23, 2016 by jnhrvy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickSilverShelby Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 There's one bid on the car with 8 days to go in the auction. I did not place that bid. QSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye O'Saben Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 How is this car being sold already? Is this one of the execs cars? Did it sell? Looks like it was ended at 72K with no bids yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickSilverShelby Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) No this is not one of the 15 supercharged 6spd executive cars. There was one bid on the car earlier in the week but the auction ended with no bids so it seems that the person who placed that one bid retracted his bid. I think that the excitement over the new 16 GT-H is much more subdued as opposed to the excitement back in 2006 and 2007. I clearly remember a 2006 on ebay with low miles like this car being offered for around $80ish K. I don't remember if it sold but I was seriously considering buying it back then. I'm still super interested in the 2016 GT-H but I have a "wait and see" attitude. Back in 2007, at the end of the 07 GT-H production, Shelby was just back into the production game with Ford and there were only 1000 GT-H's built and the Shelby GT and the GT500 was just under way. Now in 2016 there has been what, 65000 Shelby's produced in the past 10 year? I think the market has had its fill and therefore demand for the new era Shelby moniker is much more reserved. Just my thoughts. QSS Edited July 28, 2016 by QuickSilverShelby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnhrvy Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 i think it was pulled off early by the seller before the auction ended. The one bid didn't meet the reserve so there was no obligation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye O'Saben Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 If it's not one of the exec's cars, and it's not a rental, then how is it for sale? Color me confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAI-Steven Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 If it's not one of the exec's cars, and it's not a rental, then how is it for sale? Color me confused. Might want to give the Ford dealership that has it in their showroom a phone call and ask just that. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HERTZ II Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Didn't realize it was at a dealership, now I'm really confused. possibly there on consignment??.......better exposure than selling privately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAI-Steven Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 possibly there on consignment??.......better exposure than selling privately? Most likely the case. Although the ebay seller didn't list the dealership by name all one has to do is look at the dealership signage in the ebay photos along with the ebay seller location and with a little help from Google you'll know what dealership has/had the car on its showroom floor.

Steve So my question is I thought "ALL" Hertz built cars went to Hertz rental so how did a dealership end up with one??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to call the dealership and ask. The car is not owned by Shelby American so we wouldn't know how many cars Hertz kept out of the actual rental fleet.
