Wow, i may pull the trigger on this......
 

Been itchin' to get a car for sometime now and the dream of the '07 Shelby is fading away. The owner of the dealership i'm using wants to keep all the cars for his personal collection. The VP and salesmen are left scratching their heads and dealing with a few pissed off customers because the owner wants to play Trump with his cash. Anywho, i'm the only one left that still has a deposit in place but i may bail out because this came along.

This is something i always wanted to own and i came across this one for sale. The price is right and i'll know in a few days if i'll pull the trigger on it. Damn, i'm nervous.

What do you think of the finished product?

simply beautiful. Buy that bitch.

thats nice. is it new, or is it rebuilt?

Ok, i'll give you a quick history of the car. Pictured is a 1965 Cobra Daytona Coupe replica. They only made 6 original cars ever so....owning an original is out of the question unless you had a few million dollars and could find a seller willing to part with one. Carroll Shelby built these cars to compete against Enzo Ferrari for the world cup. Shelby beat Ferrari in 1965 with the coupes and brought home the championship.

The 1st pic shows the actual car thats for sale. I'll need to finish building it and have it painted. It's set up for a Ford small block and tremec transmission. It comes with a 9" rear and disc brakes all around. I'm thinking it'll take me between 12 - 18 months to complete the build. Once done, i'll have a lil' piece of Ford racing history in the garage.

Can't wait to go get ice cream in that thing.

simply gorgeous. I've always been a sucker for Shelbys.

Thats beautiful man, go for it! screw those little cars you have in display cases, wouldn't you love to pick up some ass in that car.

You only live once. Do it Arkan rock:

price

will you be building it or someone else?

the car looks badass!

I'll be building the car myself of course! We worked out a tentative price of $16,500. The whole thing will probably end up costing me between 35 - 40k when all is said and done.

rock: buy it...

I say go for it...especially if you've always wanted to do it...if I get rich...ill buy ya an original one.

Do you even plan on driving it to work and stuff? I hate people who buy cars just to buy them, and keep them in their garages for the next 40 years of their life.

please tell us you bought it. Then post pics of you picking up chicks in your beastmobile.

Win... She will be mine, oh yes, she will be mine.

looks beautiful dude..sorry about your 07 cobra

Well, i contacted the seller and told him i want the car. Been doing alot of researching and head pounding over this and i came to the conclusion that it's a good deal for me. I just put both 1966 Fairlanes up for sale with one being the 1st car i ever owned. It'll be sad to see it go but i'm sure it'll only be a temporary sadness.

My deposit on the '07 Shelby stands. I talked to the VP yesterday and the '07 is a wash. They have 1 car in transport now that the owner was getting all along. I may have a crack at the 2nd year run if i want. I have nothing to lose if i keep my hat in the ring.

As soon as the final details of the coupe deal is worked out and i take delivery, i'll post pics.

EDIT NM.

very nice project you could have here !!!
