2007 Shelby Gt500 Convertible 597 Hp 624 Ft-lb @ Rear Wheels! on 2040-cars

Year:2007 Mileage:17500
Location:

Phoenix, Arizona, United States

Phoenix, Arizona, United States

I am the second owner and have had this vehicle for over three years. I seem to only be able to keep a vehicle for about two years, then I'm looking for something else.  Every time, however, I start to list this car, I go for a drive and chicken out.  There is no way to have another car with this kind of experience!  With the top down, hearing the supercharger and exhaust makes it difficult to want to turn on the stereo (which sounds phenomenal). Here is a summary of this car;

I bought it from the original owner in December, 2010, on Ebay.  The car had 1900 miles on it and now has approximately 17,500.

Optional equipment includes;

Shaker 1000 Audio system

I have all receipts and paperwork for this vehicle, since new.

The original owner purchased the following aftermarket items;

“Shelby” map light accessory

Shift boot trim (billet) (I don't like this trim piece and do not have it in the vehicle, but I did include it in some of the photos)

Cup holder trim (Billet)

Dash Plaque (Autographed by Carroll Shelby w/cert of authenticity)

Shelby GT500 sill plate (2)

Shelby GT500 license plate frame (Billet)

K&N intake and aircharger

JBA exhaust w/Shelby tips

I have done a couple things to the car since I've had it;

Diablo Sport Programmer/Tuner (to be included with the vehicle).  The car was then dyno-ed at 500 HP and 472 Ft-Lb @ the rear wheels. Although this was a lot of power, I grew use to it and wanted more.

I installed sound insulation in the trunk and rear quarter panels, as the bass from the stereo caused a metal vibration sound only noticeable when standing outside of the vehicle.  The insulation took care of this issue. 

The original owner purchased Super Snake wheels and tires that came with the car when I bought it.  Personally I like the original wheels, so I kept the OEM and sold the aftermarket wheels.  I rolled that money into the engine and purchased;

Smaller supercharger pulley combo with idler

Afco Heat Exchanger

NGK spark plugs

Shelby Hood Struts (replaces hood prop)

The car now has 597 HP and 624 Ft-Lb @ the rear wheels, which is more than enough.

This car has never been raced and only adult driven.  This car will get away from you if you're too heavy footed, so you really have to drive it (which is one of the reasons the original owner sold it and one of the reasons I love it so much).  My favorite part of driving this car is getting on the freeway; that is pretty much the only time I let it run out, as I do not need a ticket.

Although it has 17k miles, it still looks great and has no door dings or curb marks on the wheels.

I replaced the tires about four thousand miles ago (Yokohama AdvanSport) and a new battery 03/13.

This car is not my daily driver and I pretty much only drive it when it is top down weather.  Additionally, I only hand wash it.  I will include the convertible boot cover and car cover.

Imperfections;

In my attempt to park as far away from anything in our garage, I brushed against the garage door and scraped the paint on the right front bumper (shown in photos).

There are a couple rock chips on the hood over the left headlight and two small rock chips on the driver side door.  I attempted to photograph them, but they’re difficult to see.

Finally, there is a small chip taken out of the vinyl stripe on the hood, by the right side windshield washer (the white paint is not affected).

I have described everything I can think of.  I am a man of my word, and my feedback reflects it.  If you do not have 100% positive feedback, or NO feedback, you need to contact me prior to bidding. I know the market and what this car is worth.  I am starting the bidding at 33k, which is the minimum that I will even consider, as I do not need to sell.  I am not interested in any trades.  There is no lien on the vehicle and I have title in hand.  This vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction at any time.

I have more photos available upon request.

Thanks for looking,

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012


Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
