#382 of 547 Re: HEY MORONIX! HERE'S YOUR CHANCE!!! [shelbydude] by shelbydude Feb 24, 2007 (5:22 pm)
Replying to: shelbydude (Feb 24, 2007 5:16 pm) Forgot to say it is listed on ebay. Grabber Orange Convertible!   NOTE: I have nothing to do with this vehicle and I do not know the seller. I just seen it listed and wanted to let moronix know about it so just MAYBE he could get lucky enough to buy one for the MSRP price! Also, to let him see for himself that the price on these has nothing to do with the dealers and that is solely the CONSUMERS that are determining the true market value on these based on what the CONSUMERS are willing to pay!

Replying to: nipntuck (Feb 24, 2007 4:24 pm) For what I have seen anywhere the Cervini's are probably the closest looking window scoops to the original style on the 67 GT500's. Some people prefer the louver style over the vent style scoops. If I go with any for me the Cervini's would be my choice. I'm not too sure who you would talk to about moving the seat back. I guess you could start with a local body shop in your area and see what they say. Might be a safety factor preventing a business from doing it, but it won't hurt to make a couple phone calls. I have Hagerty antique insurance on my 66 coupe for a stated amount of $30K and pay around $225 a year for it. I can't get special interest insurance in the state of Massachusettes for my Shelby. The state does not allow those type of policy's unless it's an antique. For full coverage a year on the Shelby through Hanover Insurance I'm paying around $1K. I dropped collision while it's stored away for the winter in my garage, so I saved a little on it.

Replying to: nipntuck (Feb 25, 2007 11:44 am) Sounds like it will be a good time. It would be great to see all those Shelby's in one location. I know last summer while I was waiting for mine to be built they were talking possibly of having one at the Ford plant in Flat Rock. Events were to open up the assembly plant and tour their facility and meet some of the people that actually made our Shelby's on the line and of course the engineer's that designed it. I won't be able to go the one in June, but if they schedule one in Flat Rock next year, I'm there. If you do go take plenty of photo's and post them here in your album. I would love to see all those Shelby's together.

Replying to: rorr (Feb 23, 2007 4:45 am) I understand that the dealers can charge whatever they want for a car. How is negotiating a car price to invoice and below any different than 20% over sticker? As a current owner of a 2002 GT convertable, I was chomping at the bit for a GT500. Upon seeing the car, I was more than willing to plunk down up to 50K for one.   But at the prices that the market has set, I won't be buying a GT500 convertable. I will either get a Corvette or a SLK55. The reason is that the fit and finish of the GT500 is that of a 30K car. The interior of my 2002 is a rattling plastic box. I would be willing to pay the premium if the new Mustang was going to give me any more confidence that this will not repeat itself.

Replying to: ccpmurray (Feb 26, 2007 11:54 am) Ditto.   An alternative to consider is the Roush stage 3, which includes a supercharger. Trouble is, imo, the Roush's are overdressed. Also, not sure the 4.6 L engine was built for supercharging. Could drive it to an early grave.

Replying to: ccpmurray (Feb 26, 2007 11:54 am) The 04 and older mustangs compared to the 05 and newer mustangs are like night and day. There is no comparison. The 05 and newer are a much, much, much better! They are a lot more solid and have a lot more power.   I understand what you are saying about your 02. Compared to the 05 and newer you are 100% correct. The older ones are and feel a lot cheaper made in construction.   Have you driven the new mustang at all? Drive your 02 and then go drive a new GT Mustang. It will be like night and day between the two.   As for the Roush, I don't personally care for the look for what they cost. I personally like the look of the Saleen a LOT better and for the money.

I believe that you can take the look of the Roush or leave it and still get the power upgrades.   Mark. Replies to this message: tayl0rd (Feb 27, 2007 7:44 am) akirby (Feb 27, 2007 8:13 am) pony_pirate (Feb 27, 2007 4:57 pm) tayl0rd (Feb 28, 2007 5:19 am)

Replying to: mschmal (Feb 26, 2007 8:22 pm) Yeah, you can get the performance upgrades without all the gawdy bodywork. Replies to this message: akirby (Feb 27, 2007 8:13 am) pony_pirate (Feb 27, 2007 4:57 pm) tayl0rd (Feb 28, 2007 5:19 am)
