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 |

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
Cadillac CT6 production ceases January 2020 as part of D-Ham layoffs
Fri, Dec 6 2019General Motors filed paperwork under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act with Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity this week, detailing events to come at the automaker's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Starting February 28, 814 salaried and hourly workers at D-Ham, as its called, will be laid off. The 753 workers represented by the UAW will begin receiving offers in January to relocate to facilities in Michigan and Ohio, or buyout offers. As the 4-million-square-foot plant winds down through April 3 to a skeleton crew, the Cadillac CT6 ceases production in January 2020, and the last Chevrolet Impala comes off the line on February 28. The loss of the CT6 represents the end of Cadillac's latest brief, and highly regarded, adventure into flagship sedans. It might also mean the end of the 4.2-liter Blackwing twin-turbo V8 engine, at least for the moment. Both casualties are calamities. The death of the Impala closes the door on a nameplate in production for 52 years since 1957, having started off as a top-tier trim for the 1958 Bel Air known as the Bel Air Impala, once advertised with the line, "Lets you know you're the boss." As part of the new four-year labor agreement with the UAW, GM is keeping D-Ham open to build a new line of battery-electric vehicles, ultimately investing $3 billion and tripling employment to 2,225 workers when fully operational. The agreement described the coming EV as a "van" that would commence production in late 2021, but various reports say what's actually coming is a range of premium EVs in pickup and SUV bodystyles under the program codename BT1. The easy predictions put an electric GMC Sierra and Cadillac Escalade among the EV fold, but not until 2023, according to auto industry forecaster LMC Automotive. Before that, LMC claims an electric van will debut in late 2021, along with a battery-powered rebirth of the Hummer brand in pickup and SUV forms, also in late 2021.Â
Before Chevrolet's Redline, there was the Saturn Red Line
Thu, Feb 9 2017While Chevy rolls out Redline special editions across more of the lineup at this year's Chicago Auto Show, we've been eating some 'member berries and started thinking about the last time GM used the term. Back in 2004, Saturn rolled out Red Line (two words) editions of the Ion and Vue. The lineup was joined by the Sky Red Line in 2007, and the second-generation Vue kept the tradition going in 2008. This was in the heady days of the mid-2000s, before the financial crisis and GM's bankruptcy reorganization that saw the end of Saturn. The press release headline for the 2008 Sky is now cringe-worthy: "Hot-selling Sky helps drive Saturn product renaissance." Performance lineups were the hot new thing, as automakers attempted to cash in on the tuner trend popularized by The Fast and the Furious. Chevy had SS models, Pontiac had GXP, and Saturn had Red Line. Across the Detroit Metro area, Dodge had a slew of SRT models, and Ford's Special Vehicle Team brought us the SVT Lightning pickup, the SVT Focus, and a smattering of hopped-up Mustangs. The performance cred of Red Line models varied from car to car. The Ion Red Line shared the same engine as the original Chevy Cobalt SS, a 205-horsepower supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 65 hp more than stock. Car and Driver tested one with a 0-to-60-mph time of 6.1 seconds and said the Ion "tears down the wall that has separated enthusiasts from the Saturn brand for so long." The Vue Red Line, meanwhile, came with the same optional Honda-sourced 3.5-liter V6 you could get in the regular Vue, and added a stiffer, lower suspension, bigger wheels with more aggressive rubber, and recalibrated steering assist. When the Vue was redesigned for the 2008 model year, the Vue Red Line was a similar proposition. The engine was now from GM, and up 7 horsepower to 257, but you could get it in both Red Line and XE trim. Aside from the tire and suspension upgrades, Red Line models now came with a unique front fascia and rear exhaust cutouts. The most exciting Red Line, of course, was the high-performance version of the Sky roadster, which shared underpinnings with its Pontiac Solstice twin. This model came with GM's hot 2.0-liter Ecotec Turbo, good for 260 horsepower. The extra power was crucial in covering up the Sky's unfortunate manual gearbox ratios, which left the non-turbo model aching for torque in lower gears. As we all know, Saturn was taken by the grim reaper in 2009 after an attempt to sell the brand to the Penske Group.
