Hey all.....I know that these next few shots will not do this car justice and sorry....this is all I could grab while I was out. Small story....I heard this car around the corner as my family and I walked out of PF Chang's for lunch....I hustled a little to see what is was....Wow....it sounded better the closer I got. I spoke with the nice man and wife....they were here for the mustang show later on that weekend. I ran up to the parking garage and grabbed our van...took out my cam and shot some. He was nice enough to let my daughter sit in the driver side! This ID tag in the dash was signed by Carol Shelby.....the ID was #3.....3rd one produced! Shelby has #1 and Shelby Charity's has #2, I am told. Sorry....i thought it was a cool little time:

I like, even the nose looks like a snake. That nice couple better beware of those GTRs lurking around.

Those definitely are good looking cars. Just FWIW, that is a $34,000 option. :eek:

Was this PF Chang's at Pembroke? Was the owner local? I'll check with my car buddies to see if they've seen it.....definitely a rare one to see out on the road. :cool:

Indeed it was at Pembroke......The man and wife had VA Beach tags on the plates but not sure if they were local. thanks all.

Ohhh yeah...on the 34,000 option....he said it took like 2 months and had to send the car to Vegas to have the work done.....and even then...most people have to get on a waiting list....he did not.

Nice pics, friend of mine has one that looks just like it but he opted for the 650 hp version because of the warranty. Still cost over 30 grand to do the conversion.

Fwiw, his wife drives a white Roush 427R.

A man local to me has one of those. Nice car, but I can't imagine spending that much money on a Mustang. Think of what you could have instead for that amount of money...

(this is coming from someone that own and has sunk way, way too much money into their own Mustang)

I don't mind the new look of the Mustang. I only wish they could have spent more than 2 seconds trying to place the trunk key hole location. Cutting it into the faux gas cap is just wrong. They've had 3 chances now to change this and they haven't lol.

Nice find though. I really like what they did with the wheels.

I got to drive one similar to this for a brief time. not a super snake but a GT500KR. The car dealership I work for had one in for a while and I had to move it to take pictures for ebay. It was just about the best experience i've ever had in a car.

I think they finally fixed the hole, all the 2010-2011s I've seen have a remote trunk release.
