New Shelby GT owner needing assistance


Bishop #0447

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I'm totally new to this and am trying to get the hang of it. I just bought a 2007 Shelby GT and unfortunately it had an unfortunate accident. I have looked a lot of places for parts including hood, grills, and a front bumper but have failed finding true parts. I figured this was the place of experts! Please; any help will be great.

The hood is a OEM (Ford) piece and should be easy to locate both new and second hand at salvage yards/eBay/Craig's List. The hood scoop on the other hand can be a challange. Try contacting Shelby directly if you need a replacement. The front bumper is also an OEM piece but was unique to the SGT and California Special. Again should be easy to locate new through Ford and some web searching. Shelby still offers the grille and grille surround through the store and eBay, but assume their supply is limited.

 

Good luck, and welcome.

when I read the post this morning I thought this was the case but I didn't want to lead him down the wrong path. If the original scoop isn't damaged you may be able to swap it onto the replacement fairly easily. Hopefully you'll be able to find everything you need. Good luck!

I bought a extra front bumper cover from my local dealership last year. The first one they sent was shipped/stored incorrectly so it was twisted and they happily ordered me another one. This is something to watch out for. As Larry T states the grill is available at the Shelby Store or their Ebay Store. I have also purchased stuff from the Tasca Parts site for another Ford product and their prices sometimes beat others. -Kevin

I don't know if it would have changed since the original recipients of the front body parts are as old as they are, but there was a significant difference in cost between the (same parts, different parts numbers) accessory version (cheaper) and the replacement (what insurance companies would pay) items.

I'm curious on two things...

 

Is your car Black or White?

 

By your User Name, is your car #447?

Here is your front fascia part number. Even comes with a license plate bracket. You will have to source the underside air deflector seperately if you damaged it. You will be pleased with how affordable this piece is: 6R3Z-6320049-AA

 

Like others have shared the hood is standard Mustang and your scoop (if savable) will attach onto that. I see the grill assemblies for sale time to time, but haven't looked lately. If you can't find one, I have an extra I could possibly sell you (I'm keeping it as a spare in case I need it).

Yeah I would definitely be interested!

You guys have been super helpful! I started the fun part of buying parts and am going to work on getting a bumper. I bought a cervini hood actually (was going to go stock, but said screw it and changed my mind), but I will find out about that bumper! THANKS GUYS. Car is in shop right now getting touched up.

White and yes 447.

I own 446. White. And I have the white Shelby GT hood from it, if you need it. Complete with stripes, scoop, hood pins.

I got a Cervini hood instead of the stock one. Hopefully getting the stripes painted on and I believe I can snag the pins from SPP, unless you want to sell me them!! That's crazy that you are 446. Small world I guess right?
