regalt87 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Its been a year and one half but I finally got one today at a price I could live with. 5 over and only 38 miles from my house. Saw it on E- bay called them and they took my offer rather than let it run out. It could have done less or more,who knows but I didn't have to fly up or stay in a hotel and that saved a-lot of time and money. Took 1/8 tank to get her home. I can't believe I am posting in this thread finally!! I want to personally thank Shelby Dude and Ruf draft for taking the time to answer my questions, there support has been a lot of help. Thanks again guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastfords Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Congratulations. Another person for me to envy. Enjoy your car and don't worry about if you could have gotten it for less or not. I have never bought anything that was not on sale for less within 6 months. I don't see why a GT500 should be any different. Have fun. :beerchug: :beerchug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZD263 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Congratulations Regalt87 :happy feet: 5K over is a fine deal. If you're comfortable with the price you paid and you do enjoy the car, that's the most important thing. By the way, nice color choice... Have fun and be careful getting used to her.

regalt87 Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Very nice! Where you at in Central Florida. I am retired in south Florida-Cape Coral. Call me after tomorrow for any help. 239/573-1855. You and I need to meet at JLT Tunes.Haines City, Dundee area about 35 minutes south of Orlando. Yes a CAI and tune is a must. But don't let Wifey know she still isn't over the purchase. might have to sneek the mods for a while. Got to tell a funny story- I bought a Grand National and hid in my paint room for 6 months and drove it during the day when she was at work. She hardly ever came out in the shop much less went in the paint room. And then it happened. She opened the door one day and said "who's car is that?" and I said ours and she said oh, nothing more!

regalt87 Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I got it from Crown Ford in Wauchula. really nice staff. The pic is on the back ramp to my shop with the neighbors house in the background. There is a contractors trailer sitting in the back yard as we are remodeling and the place is a mess so I thought it best to get the neighbors house rather than mine at the moment!! Its actually a nicer house any way!! I took a couple shots but this one is the only one that came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a passion with this car unlike any other. Your day will come also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you buy that Grand National from a guy whose initials are JW. He sold it to buy a Shelby! He would love to talk to you because he still loves his old Buick!

He would love to talk to you because he still loves his old Buick!No I got it from a friend of mine in Winter Haven. I had a couple Regal T's one I drove for 8 years and I must say it was a really good car. Sold it and got another 87 Regal T that had 38k on it TA 49 alcohol injection and much more. It had only been driven in the rain twice. nice show winning car that I sold a year later because I didn't have the heart to kill it with the miles. However, the Shelby will get some miles, I don't think I will be able to not drive it much!! Too much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCobra666 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Congrats on getting your Shelby! Back in 87 I tried to buy a GN. 19k and I just couldnt muster the payment but I got a chance to test drive one. That thing was wicked fast, grossly underated HP. I was all of about 24 then and the car salesman looked like he needed a vacation after that ride . KC666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
