I thought that he was kidding?

The new car manager at Earnest MC Carty Ford in Alabaster, Al. told me today that they had sold a Shelby already. They have taken this persons money and he is waiting on the vehicle to be delivered. The dealership has received the invoice? build sheet? or what ever this document was.
The car is "Hugger Orange" with silver stripes as ordered by the customer.
Cost -$60,000.00 marked up for supply and demand.
Seems this person currently owns 17 other Mustangs of all years & models, and money is of no object to him.
He just likes them.

Forgive me I'm from the Muscle car era, when Chevy called it Hugger Orange on the Camaro.

What I heard was they got five- all already sold. I also heard, no markup on em.
One going to Ernest, One to his son, One to a Doctor in Alabaster and I don't know about the other two.
They don't even see the lot- they come from the truck to the warehouse and then home to where they will live.

I stand corrected on the stripe color, Jeff Wheeler told me white and took it upon my self to correct him to silver. Or was it Lanny that told me, or maybe David Mc Carty.
Anyway there is someone getting an orange one, here in the local area.
Cool, at least someone gets one.

By the way SVTSTANGS, if you are who I think you are? Bring it by my play shop in Calera, not my work shop in Homewood.

Whats your playshop in Calera?

And for the record, I begged for ten minutes to let me have a peek at one of em. They were not going for it.
Ernest can let me have his Jag- I would settle for that.

April,
My wife, Jill called this afternoon from the house. Since I am out of town in Chicago for the race, she took it upon her self to go buy a new ride.
She was at Ernest Mc Carty when the gentleman picked up his SHELBY Convertible today. Grabber Orange with "white" stripes on the rocker area.
Loaded it in a enclosed trailer that had Ford & Mustang decals all over it,
the one on the rear said something about Gainsville? mustang club?

She said the car was "HOT" except for the paint color. IN her opinion.

But then she informs me about her purchase '06 Explorer Limited in dark cherry metallic. Great, now maybe she want continue to bother me about a Cobra.

My play shop is near the airport in a warehouse. Has all of our" toys" in it,
maybe during the MCA labor day meet, we can all get together.

Somewhere, someone, today, is driving that orange convertible SHELBY and loving every minute of it.


And we the "common" people can only wish.

If they loaded it on an enclosed trailer at the dealership, odds are they aren't driving and enjoying it. It's probably sitting in a building that it will seldomly ever leave.

According to my wife, it was "different" but not her cup of tea. Did you buy it, and do you like it?
