My newest Hoss....kinda lol, 1 of 1

I made this memorial day one to never forget. Long story short, I lost both my parents within 9 months or each other last year. I had been talking to my dad about getting a GT500, but since he had his stroke, he could not get into or out of the car. Well today I went shopping for my dad and I....drove 3 hours to Minneapolis, walked in and bought this little stallion off the showroom floor. Don't worry all you Mustang haters, I'm sending it to Shelby Motorsports to get Super Snaked sometime in the fall hopefully. Then my dad and I will have one kick ass super car. More pics to follow upon completion.

Just a few pics in the dirty ass garage after the drive home....time to get detailed!

Jim nice one there, looking forward to seeing you in oct

Way to go Jimbo, what a sweet ride. I guess you'll be driving to L.A. again. Hey, its not in a blister pack.

Jeff

[FONT=century gothic]Awesome Shelby Mustang Jim. Congratulations!

Looks like you may have Caught the Rainbow.
Very nice, congratulations!

And a convertible at that... very nice.

Wicked Whip Slim.


I dig the emblem on the steering wheel and tail end with a rainbow to cap it off.Looking foward to Super Snaked this fall.


A Youtube video of a burnout might be fun hee hee.


:thumbup:


Eric

Thanks for the kind words folks....man its a blast to drive.

Tried to get some better pics today, but the damn rain will not go away!!

Hey Jeff, heck of a photo op....giant sized piece of cardboard behind her....need like a clear greenhouse for the blister tho lol

And E, I think I may try to get some audio/visual clips at some point. The clips I seen on you tube were the reason I was sold on it. Those super snakes are ridiculous

^^^^^^thanks E, I cant wait:-)

Hey Jim, Sorry for the passing of your Dad, I didn't know. He is looking down on you and watching after you. I'm sure smiling at your new ride...and probably saying...ah...it probably doesn't need another 150 HP LOL.

Your car is a beast...and when you get it super snaked it will be burning rubber big time. I have a hard time controling mine...and yours will have a ton more HP. My favorite is getting on the interstate...cruises at 80...then the jets turn on and get to 130 in a flash. THen its totally scary when you know it still has a good 55MPH more to go before it bottoms out. Fun stuff...but also dangerous...well...I don't know... Maybe dangerous for getting tickets is all :) I'd like to race you sometime...just to see how far ahead you will be :) LOL

Awesome new ride Jim! What a beauty...

Congrats,
Kurt

Hey thanks Jim and Kurt:-)

Jimmy, not sure when we will be able to line them up? I would LOVE to take mine to the track once I get it from Shelby. I put down my deposit for the Super Snake tonight! Guaranteed a CSM build number under 100. Now to decide when to drop it off.....but I have to drive it for the summer!! 90-120 days is the build time....good winter project. Look for my new beast early next spring buddy:-D

BTW, mine will be getting jacked up another 250hp....supposed 800 at the crank, and street legal...fin nuts

Thats incredible! I don't know how they get that many horses from that engine, but its crazy. You'll need a great tire to put as much of that to the pavement as possible. That will be unreal. A great winter project is right...don't want to be without her...but those months are non drivers anyway. I was debating on getting a shelby, but went with my roots. The shelby is hands down the best performer of the two, especially the 2013. I can't tell you how many thumbs up, points and smiles I get from mine, its borderline harrasement out on the road, but I'd look look like an absolute fool if I went up against you at the line. :) In town, not too terribly bad, but on the strip... I'd look like an idiot LOL

Hey Jim, might I suggest a driving school such as Bondurant or equivalent. That thing is going to be a handful and then some. Not saying anything about your skills but Just want you to stay safe buddy.

Jeff

What a sweet Ride Jim! You'll have a blast with it.
I'm officially envious..lol.

F.

Jim, That is a killer ride.
My 7 year old son and I are planning on going to the Mid-America Shelby meet here in Tulsa in 2 weeks. He has not missed a show yet! You need to plan on coming down next year, as it is an unreal event with a road track racing event on Thursday, drag races on Fri and Sat and car show on Sunday. Usually somewhere around 400 cars show up.

Hey Jim,

That is an absolutely awesome GT500...one of my all-time favorite cars. Huge congratulations to you, I know you are going to have a blast with it!

Take care

- Andrew

Congrats Jim....She is a beauty!! keep us up to date with pics!!

Hey Jim........That Mustang is AWESOME!!.....I bought a NEW 1986 5.0 Mustang GT off the showroom floor back in '86. Back in the day those 5.0's were fast, but NOTHING compared to your Shelby GT 500...I have big RESPECT for all Muscle cars new and old......Good Luck with it and by all means Stay Safe!!!!

Dang, havent checked this one out in a couple days.....thanks again for all the comments guys. I just wish they had a hardtop convert....now that would be sweet!
I really think I may have to ship it off sooner.....depends on how my knee surgery goes in a couple of weeks.

Hey Jeff, I may have to check that out next year....long trek though. I think I need an enclosed trailer now:-)

Couple more pics...
