I thought the GT-H was only going to the larger markets, but a friend told me he thought he saw one today, then someone else who works at the airport said they did in fact get one in. The population here is only about 65K so I have no idea how or why they got it.
I drove by after work, but it wasn't there.

 

I guess someone could rent it in any available city and return to any Hertz location.

 

That's what I was thinking. What if you wanted to rent it and drive it to an area where they had a Hertz car rental but wasn't in a large market? I think it would be hard for them to all wind up back at the airports.

 

This one was delivered, brand new, on a car hauler.

Just heard the owner of the local Hertz said he's not going to be renting it to anyone.

 

well i know the indianapolis airport hertz declined the car they were supposed to be one of the major cities to get them, but did not want to take on the liability.

now i want to know what its going to take to buy one after they go on sale

 

Just called. They actually have 2.
Both are being driven by local managers... i.e. not available for rental.

 

They wont let you return certain cars to other locations. At least Avis doesnt.

 

Huuum,wonder who will be first on the list when they go up for sale?

 

Im betting those 2 go "missing"

 

Good grief! First the stories about dealership owners hoarding Shelbys, now this!! I guess the only access we'll have to these cars is through magazine photos!! What was it Johnny Carson said? Something like "Playboy and National Geographic are very similar to me, they both show me exotic places I'll never get to go." Heehee!

 

saw one in Boulder, they are even cooler in person

 

I saw one headed in the opposite direction yesterday in Pensacola, Florida. I about broke my neck trying to get a better look at it. Pensacola is a very tiny market, so I was really surprised to see it.

 

I stopped by and saw one of them and I have to agree they look better in person. I wasn't too impressed when the first pics came out, but I really liked what I saw.
BTW, it was parked behind the building and had a guys personal effects in it. Yep. That one won't be rented... at least not for a while.

 

I thought it looked great. I wish it would have been stopped so I could have taken a better look at it.

 

Nice company car

 

saw this in sturbridge mass at MCA show

 

I saw one coming from the Columbus, OH airport - nice car.

 

Hey guys I'm hiring a GT-H tomorrow (8/22/2006) in Orlando, FL. They had 3 down at the airport when I landed, and availability seemed good. $94/day base price (before tax + insurance), but only 75 miles, additional miles $0.39/mile).

The Hertz guy that showed me around the car said there are clones in the market already, but that Shelby were keeping the hood to themselves to stop cloning. Not sure if that's true or not, could just be rumour.

I will post pics on my website http://www.stangs.co.uk/ (see right column for latest news) once I've processed the pics.

 

Clones? LOL. That's funny since there were plenty of black & gold new Mustangs running around before they even thought of doing the GT-H.
Nothing special about the hood. It can easily be ordered from Shelby.

Are you sure that guy wasn't a car salesman?
