I'm sure he was at least tender.

 

256,000 miles?

 

 

Just caught the hind quarter. She never missed a beat.

 

Yes, it is my business car. It has been everywhere.

 

WOW! That's amazing. Got to be one of, if not the highest mileage S197 out there. You should make a thread about it, and what all you've had to do to it in that time frame. Would be an interesting read.

 

Would love to hear of your maintenance history with 256,000 miles on your S197?

 

Cars look great guys!

 

Car looks great!!

 

What grill is that? And were did u get it?

 

I met Bambi too!!! Therefore all new front end and hood

 

Only damage was to the passenger fender and the bumper cover. Replaced the cover, lights, and windshield (very pitted after 250K). Had the hood "corrosion" repaired and repainted along with the fenders and roof. All leading edges (hood, roof) and the bumper and mirrors have been 3M'd.

 

Still really wish you would make a thread to chronicle what it has needed and how the experience has been over that many miles. Like I said before, you may well have the highest mileage S197 on the road. Ford might like to hear about it as well.

 

**@Wades GT i know its a very old thread, but is there any way you could tell me where to find those lower grille "bar style" center and side sections for the lower grille??? I cant find anything anywhere and i REALLY dislike the honeycomb!!! PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!**
P.S. can you tell me exactly where i need to look to cut that gt500 splitter to get it to fit, or have pics or know of a video?? Thanks again!
ALSO... absolutely definition of a PERFECT S197 build right there my man beautiful car!!

Is This The Grille you Want??

@05stangkc yes, but in black. And im also looking for the outer portions of that "bar style" grille too

 

I did a Little Digging and Found My 2011 Shelby Book Catalog & It Lists Grille Only. $79.95 Back Then! And Only in Polished Aluminum. Maybe Jim The Man Who Placed the Shelby Link Knows More About it. I will Say in the Pic in My Book You Can See Just a Little of What Looks Like Those Outer Grille Pieces. Call Shelby & Ask as Well. I will Keep thinking on it and Post if Something Pops Up! Just Click on Jims Name and you Can Email or PM Him!

Good Luck!

@05stangkc dang, i appriciate the effort! Ive been buried DEEP in google and youtube for 2 days now without any info lol! In that catolog is there a phone number? Ill try to google it too if you cant see one on there.
