Most here know I'm in love with the Hertz cars. Check out my handle, for cryin' out loud! I also own a 2006 GT-H. I agree these should be ones to look for in the future. Having said that...
We also agree with you
I think the 08-09 GT500KR cars deserve a seat at the table. These were genuine pre-title Shelby Mustangs sold through Ford dealerships as completed Shelby cars complete with Ford warranty. Just like they did in the 60s and just like they did with the 07-08 SGT. Unlike the SGT, the KR has more unique parts and lower production volume.
We also agree with you. But on the production numbers the 08, 09 KRs had more produced 1,571 versus the three year run 06, 07, 16 of GTHs 1,172. The SGT is a non contender for the moment[/color]
As much as I love the GT-H cars they aren't quite in the same category as the GT500KR, simply because they should likely be considered post-title Shelby conversion cars. However, their historical significance (GT-H) is unmatched with putting Shelby Mustangs back on the map in 2006 and of course the nod back to 1966 when the Shelby GT350H catapulted the Shelby Mustang into the mainstream.
Agreed but the GTHs have the unique mystique of having Ford, Shelby and Hertz collaboration that no other Shelby has. Rent a Racer.
The problem with both of these vehicles (and all the so-called future collectibles) is that there are far too many that all look the same; each with low miles because they haven't been enjoyed properly. I find it humorous how many GT-H cars have been stored away with only their rental use miles...all in the interest of preserving the value. I drive mine! Why should the renters get all the fun (:
Not really a terrible problem, look at all the 65 and 66s white with blue stripes. I find them all very pleasing to the eye. As far as driving them well you should know my preference.
Again all we are looking for is what new age "Shelby" maybe collectable in the future. That is the question.Currently we have the GTHs, the KRs and the Shelby 1000s as picks, all are very formidable choices.
To say these Shelbys are worthless and will not be worth anything in my honest opinion is preposterous
Troy thank you for your input
