Holy smokes...words fail me.

And ya think YOU got dicked over by the insurance, dealer, auto body guy, etc. when you wanted your '95 Taurus fixed after that little fender-bender....

I'm glad i've never had any issues having any body damage repaired. It was pretty nice dealin with Public Insurance. No hassle, and a HELL of a lot cheaper than i pay now with private ins. companies.

Me too.................by the Grace of God, I've never been in an accident in the driver's seat, in 26 years, needing that attention.

$18,000 for a hood...? HOLY CRAP...! And to think, I would sit back and think how cool it would be to own one...

Exactly what I was thinking

Ole Carrol builds and has built some pretty cool cars. The were all based on existing cars, basicly just a "Tuner" of sorts.

I would think he would want that car fixed right for the image of the GT500KR and forget about trying to gouge the hell out of his customer.

There's a little more to the story that came out this morning.

Apparently the original vendor that produced the hoods for Shelby made no extras, or very few. (Which strikes me as a poor, poor decision on someone's part...) As part of cost-cutting Ford took the molds from that vendor and is trying to get more pieces elsewhere...and what pieces vendor #2 has produced so far aren't acceptable. As of right now, it would seem that whatever stock Shelby has...if any...is the only source, and, "the price is what it is".

I wonder if you can get $18Gs off the price of a Shelby by ordering it "without the hood"?
