Sorry..i stoped looking as soon as i saw the 72k number. I guess that owner is special then :lol1:

lol it's all good. was the black and read leather seats a factory option or is it a limited edtion thing because my dads torch red w/white stripes GT500 has the blk and red leather interior and i haven't seen any other GT500's like that around here, all just have blk leather

The red interior was a stand alone option (have it on mine), and the Red Stripe package was basically a badging exercise.

You have an 09'. If I remember correctly, 08's (may be 07's, not sure) had this option for a very short period during the middle of the model year. Obviously Ford killed the uniqueness when then made it an available option for other years.

^ Two posts up pretty much covers it.

In '09 the only way to get it was to order the package and it was only available with Black or White exterior. Most rare in '09 was a red package 'vert (of the "Red" option config. cars; black was most common).

At any rate, not much to it in total other than the red seat inserts, stripes and badges.

Other than that it's the same car.

Mine is a 09 with red and black interior and its a torch with full stripe delete.
As I understand it only 15 like this were made in 09.... does that mean I can sell it for 72k...ROFL

Given that it's been offered every year and is easily reproducible, there isn't anything special about it...

A Ford dealer near me has a 2007 with less than 100 miles on it asking $80k plus for it. He has a 2010 Cobra and you can drive it off the showroom floor for $100k plus.

The sales manager there must be addicted to sniffing glue.

If its reproduced then its a FAKE. The people that bought a RED STRIPE APPEARANCE PKG CAR were probably looking for a car with a little bit more exclusive production numbers. You can also reproduce a GT500 supersnake but it will be a FAKE SNAKE. Every Shelby can be reproduced but the paperwork following it will not reflect it to be the real thing.
