Don't give FoMoCo any ideas.

 

FYI- There are a few of these cars ready to hit the street. They actually look pretty nice in person.


The HOT ticket is the last one........glass roof.

 

Wow! They look pretty sweet!! Whats up with the glassroof one? Was that a custom done by a customer??

 

Prototype I believe. Stangs have the option in 09 for glass roof. I assume that will carry through to Shelby - GT.

 

Just not feeling it on the black/red combo. JMO.

 

Me neither. Black/Silver looks much cleaner to me.

 

Hey guys, I saw the car in person at Barrett-Jackson (I went out there with a few friends. One was selling a car on Saturday night. More on that soon). Anyhow, the car is MUCH better looking in person!!! Really is. I liked the coupe they had sitting out there.

 

I believe you.

 

I was at B-J on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, I saw four black Mustangs with red stripes parked in rows of two between a building and a chain-link fence. One was completely covered in clear plastic, the only coupe. The remaining three were convertibles. They were definitely not parked for show so I wasn't sure whether we could go look at these cars. We did anyways. What was interesting was the handwriting on the passenger side airbag cover:

Convertible #1: "To Steve, Enjoy! Carroll Shelby"
I'm assuming Steve Davis, President/CEO, B-J.

Convertible #2: "To Spanky, Enjoy! Carroll Shelby"
I'm assuming Spanky Assiter, Auctioneer, B-J.

Convertible #3: "To Amy, Enjoy! Carroll Shelby"
Amy Boylan or Amy Assiter????

The only coupe: "To Craig, Enjoy! Carroll Shelby"
Must be to Craig Jackson...


These are the only pics I took of them. Could not get any pics of the signatures due to glare.

 

Willie, thats too funny. I saw the same cars behind the tent where the cars that weren't getting auctioned off but were for sale. I never took notice of the writing on the airbag cover. VERY COOL!!! BTW, did you stay all night? I ask as my friends car went off around 10:45 PM. LONG STORY and a very P.O'ed story let me tell ya. The guest passes did work like a charm let me tell you.

 

Well I also saw those B-J mustangs at Barrett they looked ok but my highlight was going to Ron Pratte's garage and office, too bad no pictures it is forbidden I only got some shots of his planes boats helicopters and LS7 powered dune buggys

 

Willie - good job on the pics. Must be nice they all got a 40 K bonus from CS.

See the attached pic, is this a scratch already?

 

No, I didn't stay Saturday night. I went with a friend of mine in my GT. In fact, I was not planning on going back on Sunday but when I showed my wife and daughter the pics I took, my daughter said she'd like to go. So back to Phx we drove.... this time with my daughter in my GT500. Got quite a few stares in the parking area.... too cool...

Greg, I noticed that "scratch" on my pic too. I don't recall if it was really a scratch or not. I was totally focused on the fake gas cap when I took the pic.

Well, just found this one on ebay!

Take a look, here's the link:

Yep. not a bad looking car!

 

You are correct about the 2 of the cars, Spanky Assiter lives about 5 houses up from me and he has 1 for him(a standard) and 1 for his wife Amy(a automatic). I got to take the automatic out for a drive yesterday and it was great. The car sounds so good, the car had about 190 miles on it. And yes both of them are signed, I almost did not want to take the car back. Also from what I understand Spanky had to buy them they were not given to him.

 

Thanks for the info Chris. And welcome to our forums...

Willie

 

Wait a sec...you live five houses down from Amy Assiter and got to drive her car?! Man...that's way cool.

 

So, does anybody want one of these? They can be had for UNDER MSRP.

Grab it while you can!
