Shelby 1000...worth it?

[2011 gtcs]

So I was looking on car Gurus and saw a 14 Shelby 1000 for sale, would you pay that much for one if you had the money? I have always loved the Shelby 1000s so I probably would. But that's why I'm not rich lol. Just wanted to see what you guys thought.

I do like them but not at that price!!

I’ve seen that car in person pretty sure that’s the owner of les baer customs car. It’s located about 5 minutes from me. You should buy it

Wow that price !!! How much did it cost for a Shelby 1000?

^ 205k if I recall correctly.
Wouldn’t pay that much for a modern mustang. That’s a very healthy down payment on an 05-06 FGT or a CGT.


Pick your poison.

Hell no! Buy and mod a stock GT500 if you need that much power. You’ll have a lot of $$ left over.

I think the base upgrade alone was $155,000, not including the vehicle. No doubt higher if you went with the wide body conversion and other options. Pretty sure you could duplicate it at much lower cost, without paying the Shelby "tax".

Les Baer was one of the hardcore early Pro 5.0 racers. Seems fitting he would of be driving an S1000! I hear he makes badass guns too

I could never justify that kind of $$$ for a Mustang. Beautiful Shelby though.

Supposedly based on an Instagram post I saw somewhere les just bought a blue 2018 super snake. I have seen an s1000 at local car shows and it is pretty nice, to me it is much nicer than that 2018 thingy. I do not like badging that announces hp numbers so never got on board with that. I personally feel like anything with the Shelby name on it post 2013/2014 will have jacked up premiums just for having his name affiliated with it (was 2013/2014 gt500 perhaps the last model with his actual involvement and input?). I know the name carries with it some sort of premium as it is, but hopefully post-deceased name useage does not yield people thinking it is worth even MORE now.

If I was that rich I probably would buy it. I know you could build a GT500 to have a 1000hp way cheaper but I have always wanted a 1000.

I have to agree with you. 255k would almost buy you a 05/06 FGT and not going to lie, I would take the FGT over a 1000 any day of the week.

No way. That kind of money is FGT money

 

[pierce88]

Cool car but there is nothing about it to justify that price...

Also is it just me or is the one you linked not even a wide body? Rear fenders look stock width to me...

I also do NOT like those wheels.

If I had a lot of cash I would buy a 2005 FGT - it is at the top of my list. Easy to maintain, sexy, V8, manual trans, and supercar.

I've always really liked the S1000, but that's an insane asking price. There are many other cars I would rather buy for that kind of money.

 

[2011 gtcs]

this is the build sheet for everything it comes without the wide body

That's what I was thinking, not even a wide body....crazy.

Owner of that car needs to put the meth pipe down.

 

[blk96SVT]

Nope, I would not pay that much for a Mustang if I were rich.

 

[02GTKB]

I too would love to have one if I had that money, but to me it is not worth the asking price especially the super snakes depreciate after building them. This will to IMO..It is worth maybe $150k at most
