2007 Shelby Gt500 Convertible 597 Hp 624 Ft-lb @ Rear Wheels! on 2040-cars
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, Scott 602-478-2308 |

2015 Chevy Silverado gets Custom Sport package
Wed, Jan 7 2015It's been on our mind for a couple of years that the Chevrolet Silverado could really use "a sophisticated monochromatic look." It is, at long last, a reality. Harking back to the Custom Sport Trucks the company produced in the 1960s, the 2015 Custom Sport package can be had in black or white on LT and LTZ models for those in search of "a touch of elegance." That means body-colored front and rear bumpers and grille surround, a black grille, and chrome applied to the door handles, mirror caps, side moldings and 20-inch wheels. The package, which will cost between $1,950 an $2,950, also throws in projector beam headlamps, tow hooks, and heated mirrors. LT trims can be had in black or white, LTZ trims - including Z71 - offer the choice of black or White Diamond Tricoat. The press release below has more information. Don't everybody rush to the dealer at once. 2015 SILVERADO OFFERS CUSTOM SPORT PACKAGE Inspired by Chevy Custom Sport Trucks that helped launch personal-use pickups DETROIT, 07/01/15 – With the new 2015 Silverado Custom Sport special edition, Chevrolet pays homage to one of its most iconic pickups, adding a sophisticated monochromatic look to double- and crew-cab Silverados. The Custom Sport package features body-colored front and rear bumpers and a body-colored grille surround with a chrome-accented black grille. Other accents include 20-inch chrome wheels, chrome door handles and mirror caps, and chrome body-side moldings. The package also includes projector beam headlamps, tow hooks and heated power-adjusted mirrors. "The Custom Sport special edition was inspired by Chevy Custom Sport Trucks of the late 1960s," said Sandor Piszar, Chevrolet Trucks marketing director. "Those CST models added a touch of elegance to a great all-around truck, just like the Custom Sport package for the new Silverado." The redesigned 1967 Chevrolet pickup entered the market at a time when trucks were starting to move off the jobsites and into the driveways of cities and suburbs. The 1967 Custom Sport Truck, with its bright trim, plush carpet and bucket seats, helped launch a wave of personal use pickups that continues today. For the 2015 Silverado, the Custom Sport package will be available as LT and LTZ models, including Z71s. LT models will be available in black or white, while LTZs will come in black or White Diamond Tricoat. Package prices will vary from $1,950 to $2,950, depending on the model. Dealers can place orders starting this month.

Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo could only work in a video game [w/video]
Thu, Nov 20 2014There's something wondrous about the Vision Gran Turismo series of concepts that has let companies go wild with completely imaginary concepts for Gran Turismo. For Chevrolet's crack at the idea, it has taken a page out of its performance past with the Chaparral Can-Am racers of the '60s and '70s, with its designers having reinterpreted that period look for the future of motorsports as the Chaparral 2X. In real life, the 2X looks even better than in earlier photos. The design takes inspiration from someone in a flying suit with head down and arms outstretched, an influence you can really see that in the vehicle's shape. The driver lies facedown inside with the instruments projected onto a visor. Unfortunately, the powertrain here is a complete flight of fancy and works purely in the video game world. It imagines a laser propelled by lithium-ion batteries and an air-powered generation to make 900 horsepower. The 2X has a theoretical top speed of 240 miles per hour and hits 60 mph in a lightning-quick 1.5 seconds. Scroll down to see the concept on video with Chevrolet designers describing their inspiration and read the company's full announcement. It's also downloadable in Gran Turismo 6. Chevrolet to Show Chaparral Vision Gran Turismo Concept Boundary-pushing, Chevy-powered race cars changed motorsports design DETROIT – When racers Jim Hall and Hap Sharp founded Chaparral Cars in 1962, few could have guessed how they would shake up the conformities of the racing world – and fundamentally change it. Through pioneering applications of aerodynamics and aerospace technology, and a partnership with Chevrolet Research and Development, Chaparral Cars advanced the science of racing cars. It also triumphed on the track over well-established sports car companies from around the world, using Chevrolet horsepower. It was that spirit of innovation that inspired the Chevrolet Chaparral 2X VGT concept race car developed for the Vision Gran Turismo project, which celebrates the 15th anniversary of PlayStation® racing game Gran Turismo by inviting manufacturers to give fans a glimpse into the future of automotive design. It will debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Nov. 19, and gamers will be able race the Chaparral 2X VGT following the release of an online update for Gran Turismo 6 during the holiday season.
