Shelby G.T. 5 0 0 E convertible

Saw this on another site. $550,800 was the winning bid on the car at the Barrett Jackson Palm Beach Auction.............WOW!!!!

 

You have to register with the site in the link and I don't know about the other guys on this forum, but I'm not registering with a site titled 'Girls Can Too"!

 

This has been on the main page of the site for like two weeks.
The name of that site made me laugh too Tom

 

I'm tempted to register to see the article she's talking about.


....and maybe to get some "inside" information on the female mind....

 

The person who bought that is a moron imo.
It's just a replica Shelby made into a vert :scratch: what is so special about that?

 

Sorry GUYS.I did not know you couldnt click on it.

I will try to get the article and post. It was just a replica, and maybe at Barrett Jackosn site would have the info.

In any case.......way to much for the car!!!

 

HERE YOU GO GUYS!!!!!!

$550,800 was paid to purchase Unique Performance's Shelby G.T.500E Convertible at the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Auction!

The first 1968 Shelby G.T.500E convertible sold for a world record $550,800 during the 3rd Annual Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Collector Car Auction on April 2, 2005 at the South Florida Expo Center in Palm Beach, Fla. After a spirited battle, the winning bidder captured the only Shelby G.T.500E convertible in the world with a portion of the sale benefiting the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation.

Built by Unique Performance for Mr. Shelby, the G.T.500E convertible is the latest Shelby continuation car. The Shelby G.T.500E convertible features a 525 HP aluminum small block with fuel injection, five-speed Tremec transmission and a Unique Performance Parts rear suspension upgrade. This vehicle is the first documented Shelby G.T.500E convertible, giving the new owner a rare opportunity to snag an original piece of automotive history.

Actually, the cars made by Unique Performance are considered legitimate Shelbys. If I'm not mistaken, they are given new VIN numbers and are list in the SAAC registry.

But I agree, it is WAY too much money.

 

That is just silly. Nice car but not worth it even though Unique worked on it. Big whooop.

 

Thanks for the info Rene, but there are other threads already on this, as well as on the home page.
