Replying to: shelbydude (Apr 28, 2006 8:44 pm) Hey dude, You may have the loot to spend on a Shelby but alot of us working non dudes don't. If I could get past the Ford dealers and had the money I would gladly take the Shelby, why not it has been my dream to own one of them since 1968. Maybe some day I will luck out like you DUDE! Camero and Challenger in case you haven't been around, these two are not in production as yet and maybe never will be DUDE! Enjoy your $75000 Mustang man, I mean DUDE! Sorry for the masked profanity in last posting. I just get so worked up with meatheads!
#44 of 547 Shelby for sale....... by 52tuff May 01, 2006 (5:45 am)
I have the option to buy the 2007 Cobra when it first comes out - I'm debating whether to keep the car or sell that option. I find it hard to believe you can get $20,000 additional MSRP for the car. If I can get that much I'll sell it. What do you all think? Replies to this message: sssst (May 01, 2006 9:15 am)

#46 of 547 Spotted Shelby Convertible by rorr May 01, 2006 (1:30 pm)
Are these things out yet?   Because I saw a red w/ black top Convertible with dealer tags, "GT500" side stripes, Shelby rims, and the Shelby grille (no big fog lights but with a small running horse emblem on the driver's side of the front grille).   Car was in a Texaco service station in Lakeway, Texas. I spotted it as I went by on the street.

Replying to: sssst (Apr 28, 2006 4:49 am) Demise of SVT? according to Ford's web site, SVT is still around.   "Coming summer,2006: The newest Mustang Cobra developed by the Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) in collaboration with legendary performance guru Carroll Shelby..."   I don't really think Shelby had much to do with the car, Ford already had the power plant, and the body.   If memory serves me correctly (correct me if I am wrong) Mustang's went to Shelby American to get overhauled into the classic street machine's of the late 60's and early 70's, not built right on the Ford production line., like the 2007 Shelby GT500   But, hey, it's going to be a sick car, collector's item, and nothing screams muscle car more then "Shelby GT500"   Other then the Corvette, I don't see an American car that has the nostalgia as the Mustang does, or the constant demand. Not the GTO, not the Charger. Replies to this message: sssst (May 02, 2006 6:50 am) aviboy97 (May 02, 2006 9:12 am)

Replying to: aviboy97 (May 01, 2006 2:26 pm) I agree with most of what you said but SVT is done.. The Shelby is the last hurrah for that division of Ford. Maybe sometime in the future it will rematerialize. They did do some great things and gave us some excellent performance vehicles didn't they! Replies to this message: aviboy97 (May 02, 2006 9:12 am)

Replying to: sssst (May 02, 2006 6:50 am) Yes they did. I really liked the last Mustang Cobra, 2003-2004. The SVT Lightning was a beauty as well.   I've been reading a lot here about dealers charging stupid money over MSRP for this car. I am affiliated with a Ford dealer (I work for a Mazda dealer) and I asked the GSM there, and he said they have not set an asking price yet. I'm guessing it will be over sticker, but, not $25,000 like I have been seeing here. But, even if they do get over sticker, it won't last forever. Personally, I would not mind paying 2 or 3 G's over, but not 25.   They had a 2 Ford GT's in which they got $200K for, that's a bit over sticker, but, then again, it's a GT, not a Mustang.

Replying to: shelbydude (Apr 24, 2006 5:19 pm) Shelbydude,   I say these words as a staunch Ford/Mustang/Shelby fan...   Obviously, you are very excited by the new GT500, and so am I. I put a down payment on one on March 30th, 2005 right after the 2005 New York Auto Show. However, EVERYTHING you have said about this car was also true of the 03/04 supercharged Cobras. They were the most powerful Mustangs ever at the time, only built for 2 years (not "many years"), and in limited numbers, approximately 18-19000 total cars. Sound familiar? These cars also required special tools and training, many dealers bought one for themselves, and they commanded a premium price early on. How do you suppose the people who paid over retail feel now? Anyone with a calculator can divide the numbers, but everything you have said also applied in 2002.   Mustang GT sales are down to last year, and there are lots of new Mustang GTs on the lots right now. In other words, wait a year, and buy a Mustang GT at a discount.   I know this new GT500 is a Shelby, and not a Mustang GT, which is why I put money down on one so long ago (back before speculation had driven the price up). However, all of your posted speculations could have been, and were, said in 2002 about the new Cobras. Paying over retail for a car is not good value for my money, Shelby or not.
