hello i'm new here from rural ohio. have never owned a shelby (except a omni ghls) but i've driven a new gt 500 at a ford dealer that my dad is a service manager at. although i've owned many high powered fords and mercurys currently i . looking forward to talk to some folks in shelby land and learn some more and even maybe hear some good stories, or get a lead on a shelby car of some sort. pete
thanks for the warm reception. once i get a little greener on this site i'll share some info on local cars that i know of that people own or have sold locally. pete
no i don't have it any more. i have my used car dealers liscence and bought it at the dealer auction a couple years ago for 350 ( nobody new what it was) it needed door handles a clutch brakes and a heater core. it had been pretty beat on, but boy was it fun. i wish i would have kept it just to (have a shelby in the garage)LOL i scrapped a few shelby chargers too a few years back they didn't have turbo's on them or someone took them off and they were in terrible condition though. pete
did you ever get a full exhaust on that beast? if so what's it consist of? ( mufflers size of pipe and where it exits) i've been dying to hear that thing with full exh. nice runnin into you on here.
Yes I did, it's got a complete flowmaster system from the headers back in 2 1/2. It sounds pretty good. I've had it out to a few events this year. It is pretty cool to run onto another BS member here.
I used to own 1967 Shelby GT500 number 899. I had to sell it a few years ago when I got divorced and I really miss it. I also owned a 69 GT500 back in the 70's. On another note, I just got off the phone with Mark Houlahan, the editor for Modified Mustangs and Fords magazine. My 68 fastback is going to be featured in the January issue and on the news stands the first week of Dec. It was chosen as editors choice at the NMRA/ Ford Expo show in Columbus this year. He was telling me that they are changing the format of the magazine and will be focusing entirely on vintage cars starting with the January issue. I'm pretty pumped about it. Check it out when it comes out.
SWEET!! i'll deffinetely buy a copy. i'll tell my buddies hey i uh......i know that guy.LOL any how that's great can't wait to see it. i'd really love to see and hear it in person. where they doing the photo shoot? and friend of mine on bs was in that mag with his modified 84 mustang gt 2.3 turbo (418 h.p.) at the wheels last year some time. later, pete
Thanks. The photo shoot was already done at national trail raceway early this month. I don't know how far you are away from me but you're more than welcome to come over any time. I'm in the southeast part of the state.
