Hertz Shelbys

[Thrust]

Saw these at summit over the weekend. Its kind of cool to see these cars together considering that they were never for sale new to the public. Im sure that they had the crap beat out of them as rentals.
Took these with my phone, so you get the idea on the lack of quality.

Old school '66

New school '06

Completely off topic, but I am listening to "The end of the Line" off of Metallica's new CD right now, and your sig is hilarious if you watch it with the song.

Anyone know what they typically auction for once they end their rental tour of duty?

My father works for Hertz and when they went out to Vegas they had some. He said his boss got in one and did a bunch of burnouts and donuts in a brand new one in the parking lot. So ya they have been beat on lol

when they are done with rental, they go to Ford corporate auctions. My wife works for a auction that is dealer only, dealing with the Ford side of the auction, and they get them in every now and again. They do come in with a lot of damage. They try to get the most out of them, but she says they are a hard sell.

"Hmmm, let's see. I have $250,000 burning a hole in my pocket. I could buy a Ford GT, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari F430, or a Porsche 911 GT2... Oh I know! I'll buy a Mustang!!!"

I'm a Mustang fan through and through. But some people have more money than sense. :nonono:

I was waiting fot this reply. There is NO WAY the new GT-H is going to hold the same value as the 350H. The guy that bought it payed way more than it will ever be worth. Just like the '07 GT500 wont ever be as valuable as a '67. So these "07 zero mileage bubble cars are almost pointless". People are thinking that they are going to get $500K for them in about 50 years. I have a feeling that they're going to be in for a rude awakening.
