2008 Shelby G.T. 500 December 14, 2007, 06:19:57 PM Some of you might remember my dad's '69 428 SCJ Mach 1. Well he auctioned it off in August and ordered this beaut with the money. It arrived at the dealer on the 8th, he took it home on the 11th. Loaded except for Sirius. Can't really drive it since we live in Ohio and it's December, but it sure was fun on the ride home! Sorry about the pic quality, they were taken on my phone. Quote Selected

2008 Shelby G.T. 500 Reply #7 – December 15, 2007, 12:32:42 PM Thanks everyone!Quote from: V8Demon;192777How soon till it gets a pulley, intake, and tune?:burnout: Instant 130+ hp.Not sure how long 'til he gets the goodies, though he is definitely going to get CAI and a pulley, and probably the tune since they all come in a kit. He wants to lower it as well and is even considering some aftermarket wheels. Quote Selected

2008 Shelby G.T. 500 Reply #13 – December 16, 2007, 09:30:08 AM I got to drive a 07 gt500 vert and it was pretty insane. I would have gotten a second mortgage and bought the 08 so he could have both. the 69 will be worth way more in the coming years. Quote Selected
2008 Shelby G.T. 500 Reply #14 – December 16, 2007, 02:04:34 PM Actually, the older market is starting to peak in my opinion. For example, 10 years ago, a '67 G.T. 500 was ~60k. Since then, the 'baby boomers' have started to retire and are buying the cars they wanted when they were kids in that era. I suspect the market will level off. Quote Selected
