    Buy it and then peel off the Silver CS8 Side Stripes. They clash with the White Lemanns Stripes. It is a GT 500, not a CS8.

    Those are some butt ugly side stripes in my opinion;peel 'em off and you got a good looking car.

    I do like those Razor wheels and I've got to agree with you guys about the side stripes, they've got to go.

    I wonder what makes the original MSRP $84,554?

    What's the Shelby stage-1 performance package (with serial #001). Is that the SS600 equivalent (TVS/tune) or something but without the suspension/interior upgrades? Pics seem to show a stock engine (and not even clean), no TVS, no pulley -- razors and silver side stripes.

    I must be missing something? <lol> :confused:

    If the side stripes are from the same source as the vinyl stripes on the Shelby GT and GT-H you don't have to worry as they will peel off naturally in no time. Check the comments(i.e., gripes) from those that own these cars.:cool:

    This car would seem to be a total rip-off.

    The MSRP is misrepresented, imo.

    The serial #001 is misrepresented, imo

    The CS association is misrepresented, imo.

    I'm sure the Ford/dealer franchise agreement covers dealers legitimately representing Ford-Shelby contract cars (S-GTs, KR, etc) for sales purposes, but if Shelby has a R(tm) on "CS" it would seem this dealer may even be infringing if such usage is not one of the marks included under the Ford/Shelby contract as passed thru the Ford/dealer Franchise Agreement. But this outfit doesn't seem to eve be an actual Ford dealer. Notice, they never seem to say "Shelby" in association with any of the pseudo-provenance hype (one-of-one, #001, CS Peformance package, etc). Maybe that's why?

    It would seem this is just another in the long line of dealers who will walk that hairy edge, trolling for the ignorant in the [inter]national e-bay market.

    It's a nice $38K used GT500 with nice Razors and tacky strips masquerading as something special with intent to deceive the unknowing, imo.

    What a deal! :p

    Hi Guys, this looks like a Gt500 with the CS8 stage one kit, stripes wheels, other items, not sure about 600 HP, but they must think the GT500 is 600HP. I have never seen this combo. Weird
