Took me 4 years but finally got my dream GT350R and WOW!

[trackHERO]

I am new to the group but have wanting to get a GT350R since the day i started reading about Ford building them. I currently had an 800hp GTR and as soon as the R hit the dealer I went right away and then the markups happened and there was no way i was paying $30k over sticker so I decided to hold tight and ended up doing so for a couple years until I decided to possibly try and get a GT350 as a daily and really couldn't make a deal happen that made sense with my trade. Im in Florida so dealers are sticklers on GT350's. 2019 I got real close this time hunting for a GT350 that met my criteria and while searching found a new GT350R without stripes that i made a great deal on and was ready to get it when the wife says.....can we just hold off for a little.........well I was crushed...so i gave up for a little. But as crazy as 2020 has been, i was having a hard month but I search Autotrader every day (I have a problem) and pops up a White 2018 GT350R without stripes and only 3k miles!! I jumped on it immediately as soon as the dealer opened with a text, email, and phone call and was able to secure the deal and pick up the car the next day!! THis has been a car on my bucket list and it really is amazing, I literally can't stop giggling when I drive it and look at it every day in the garage lol. I can't wait to get it on track and just have fun with the car.

Down below is a video from my youtube channel the day I went and picked up the car, and I feel like only SHelby GT350 owners will really understand it

Congrats, I found my Shadow Black GT350 in April and have been smiling ever since. The garage is getting new paint and epoxy floor so it will be comfortable this winter.

I looked and can’t find it. That’s actually why I made one. What’s the exact title of it?
