My new to me 2011 Grabber Blue GT500

[hyvltge]

So some of you may remember me and some may not. I sold my 2012 Grabber Blue GT500 some time ago and started looking for a replacement almost right after. Years later one became available so I flew out to CA from AZ and picked it up. I plan on doing a similar build to my last, but won't shoot for peak numbers as before. I will keep it tuned on 91 and be more of a driver rather, able to jump in and road trip as I want. I plan to do a build thread to track the progress and a photo shoot will happen soon to set a baseline. Until then here are some images from yesterday's trip home.

First gas stop after the transaction was completed.

Mileage check, this was the highest I had ever seen. Not bad for a stock GT500, then again I have never had a stock one.

Stopped just on this side of the AZ border for fuel and some quick iPhone photos.

Congrats on the GB pick up! 23.1 MPG, that's awesome (Yes, I know they weren't bought for their fuel mileage ).

Funny story. In the car business since many many years ago, that color was lovingly referred to as "loser blue". Meaning that any model of any brand in that color, would sit until you discounted it to the point you were losing money on it, to get it to move off the lot.

But since you were able to get it on the mustang, its been very popular. Now they are so rare to see, and pull very strong money on Boss's, GTs and GT500's. But everytime I see one, I still say hey thats loser blue. But admittedly I'd LOVE to have one in that color.

Haha, that's funny. I had never heard that before.

Congrats, how was the drive home?

Drive home was good, uneventful other than a big smile form time to time. It was about 5.5 hours.

Glad it put a big smile on your face. Too bad it wasnt eventful.

Color looks sick in any s197 and up mustang.
