A Sad Day

[jmimac351]

Sold my '08 Bullitt with 7200 miles on it in preparation for the GT350. Yesterday I saw two of them around town here. Still sad I sold it.

You chose wisely.

Congrats, still fooling myself by trying to think I can keep my Boss at the same time. Until the GT350 gets a VIN, then it'll get real.

Thanks for sharing the pictures and stories guys. I feel a little better. It is hard waiting for the new car to come and became even harder since the old one sold so much faster than I expected. I am totally on foot now.

You got me thinking...I'd like to keep both ;) Wife approval pending.

When you build this from scratch, it's hard to let go. (I did sell it once years ago and traveled across the country to get it back.

I sold my 97 Supra single turbo a year ago. I was originally going to buy the Hellcat, but a GT350 will now be sitting in its place as my garage queen. Never think of your new car as a replacement, that can never be. Always see it as a new start.

Funny thing is, in the past, I never really liked Mustangs

Today is a sad day for me. I sold my 2005 Saleen in preparation to buy the 2016 Shelby GT350 I have on order. It sold faster than I expected and now I will be on the sneaker express for a few months. I will miss the old car but the new Shelby will be much better!

I feel your pain, brother. I have to let go of my 71 Boss 351 for my new R but I'm so ready to make the transition.

Way I see it, we are passing on a legacy to others that will appreciate what helped us to get to the point we are today.

:cheers:

I feel some what the same way.
Mine is an 08 GT/CS Vert. that I have put
a lot of money, time, effort, blood and a few bad words
to get it where it is. I will sell this car to make room for the
new Shelby. As one friend said, the pain will ease with the
exhaust note of the new Shelby, I do believe he is right

I feel your pain. To make way for a GT350 I parted ways with my first car, 68 Firebird, that I owned for 21 years and restored from a rust bucket . Only have one garage but asked the new owner to keep me in mind for first dibs to buy it back in the future.

My tale from the dark side: I sold my 2007 C6 Z51 to fund the GT 350. It only took me a year to finally let it go, but the offer was just too good to pass up. My 11-year-old son and I went to Bowling Green to watch the assembly of the car, he got to install a part on the line and I got to start it for the first time. It turned out to be ridiculously rare, which would have paid off at a collector car auction around 2030 - the only '07 of more than 42,000 '07s built this way - but the ghost of Carroll Shelby was too hard to resist.

Thanks Drum.
Great story Spa about your kid and u sharing in the C6 build. It would be great if Ford had a similar program but I guess the line the GT350 runs on is way to busy for it.

It looks like there's a little bit of Ford on that Pontiac.

yep!

Good eye guys. It's a Mach 1 scoop and fit the pontiac hood line pretty well. Also was functional since the car had a high rise intake and allowed cold air to the air cleaner.
