    Hello everyone. I just found this forum and had to sign up as a new Shelby owner and the previous owner of a 1966 GT 350 and a 1968 GT 350.

    I've owned over a dozen Mustangs in the past, and currently own my original 1983 Mustang GT convertible that I purchased new, and recently purchased a 2008 Shelby GT convertible that is currently at Shelby Automobiles in Las Vegas being converted to a GT/SC.

    I live in Flower Mound, Texas, near Dallas/Ft. Worth, so if anyone is close, feel free to send me a message. I also enjoy the motorcycles and currently own a couple Harleys.

    John

    Hi, I've been trying to post some pics, but they aren't taking. Is it a few days, or a predetermined number of posts before you may add photos to a response?

    Thanks.

    Re: Hello from Texas - Car Pics

    Here are a few pics of my cars. I purchased the 1983 GT new, and the other is my 2008 Shelby GT, which is in the process of being converted to a GT/SC.

    Is your 83 an early 4 speed version or the late year 5 speed version? Oh yeah, I guess it could be an automatic with throttle body injection also.

    It is a late one, I purchased it in September 1983. I don't believe any of the GT convertibles were a 4 speed because the GT convertible was introduced late in the 1983 production. Mine is a 5 speed with the cloth interior, which was a very late option for the convertibles also. It also has the dealer installed from air dam and luggage rack.
