I am having a hard time deciding what to do.
I own a 13 gt and put around $15,000 into it. major exterior mods , vortech blower and a few other goodies.
my wife is a financial manager at a local ford dealership near me and a customer was wanting to buy a Shelby gt500 but there is none available in the colour black as he wanted.
I was visiting my wife at work and he dropped in and noticed my gt....he asked if I would consider selling it....I pondered and said maybe.
after a few weeks I forgot about it and today my wife calls and said that guy made an offer of $60,000 plus taxes....my jaw about dropped.
now before the purchase of my gt I wanted a SBY BOSS but there was none available till now....there is one in my reach but im torn to sell my gt....I know the $$$$ im being offered is insane but I put my heart into the stang I have as I did all the work to it myself.
there are pics of my black beauty in my profile for those wondering what it looks like.


all this being said....would you trade and get the boss.
the boss has 7500 kms on it and my gt has 9800 kms.


oh and the boss is going for $42,500

If, and it's a BIG if, this guy actually has lost his marbles and just wants to throw Shelby money at a used GT, are you seriously asking yourself if you should do this? Seriously?

I know it seems odd for me to ask but what I have now is a really good thing
600 rwhp and all around excellent car.
If I go the boss's route I can't put a blower on it, it would ruin what the car is all about.
That's my issue
670 hp to crank as I have now or 444 hp in the boss.
Not to mention my gt just looks bad ***

Who says you can't put a blower on a Boss?

Her speed shop is the one that does the work on my Shelby. The car is an absolute beast.

Edit: It's a 3.6 Kenne Bell in the picture, but that's since been changed to a 4.2 KB Mammoth. She and I will be running the Texas Mile at the end of October. She'll likely break 210, unless she nukes another transmission.

I would not make sense to alter the boss though....not to mention all the headaches with the wife during the gt build....lol.


im not going down that's road again....

kcoTiger

Depends entirely upon your needs. A blower just adds HP to the track suspension. Besides, if you're getting that much difference in buying/selling, you could easily afford to make whatever changes to the Boss you wanted to and have enough left over for a Smart car.

Is this even a question?

The Boss, and keep it original.

Why would you even think about this, SELL!

shayner

this is where its going im thinking.


id be crazy not to agree.

Took me less than 2 seconds to answer this. YES!!! SELL SELL SELL!!!

You can do it again and make it better from what you learned.

But if I have 60K in my hand Hellcat for me...

Critical Mass

Agreed. The Boss Mustangs are rolling history and heritage.

Mustang Freak

I know I'm biased here but I would sell and get the Boss! This would be a no brainier for me! :-)

I would sell and literally skip and laugh all the way to the bank

Not exactly.... My buy out right now is $40,000 for the GT... I also put $15,000 into it and did all the work myself.
So after my personal labour it's kind of breaking even.
But then again it's a boss.
So if I buy the boss with the same payments and term I can take $10,000 in pocket I figure and another vortech unit kit from let's say beefcake racing ill pocket $2000
So really it is a win win.

You sure he knows its a GT with mods, not a Shelby with mods? You never know people sometimes might miss one bit of information.

Yeah he knows....he really likes the car, that's all I can say.

Oh, well you should be able to get the SBY Boss and still afford a pack of gum with the difference.

I'm not going to tell you not to get the SBY Boss.

=HYPERDRIVE=

I would for sure go check out the boss first in person, you dont want to sell then find out there's something off on the Boss(bad record, accident, bad paint condition etc.), and now you dont want it, and dont have anything other on your mind to buy afterwards.
