I know there were some out there for the Hertz executives....anybody ever see one for sale?

[JeffJ]

I'm always looking, but haven't seen one yet.  There are only 4 2006 5 speed coupes, which Caroll has one, so only three others out there.  There are 17 2007 converts though, so may have a better chance of seeing one of those for sale.  We know 1 is out of the country for sure, so that's one less opportunity.

There was one for sale on ebay about 3 weeks ago.  It got up to $60k but it did not sell as the reserve was not met.

I found one for sale in May 2009 on the SAAC "Members only" section for cars for sale.  I had been looking for about 8 months for one at that time.  I bought it too .

There are apparently 18 Hertz sticks out there ( 17 were sold to Hertz executives and 1 "mystery car")  the Hertz executive cars are numbered from #483 to #499.  #500 sits at SAI in Las Vegas and it is an automatic.   I saw #500 a month ago and she sure is fine.  The unknow #18 stick car is still a mystery.  I don't know what number it is or where it is but I believe she is "special".

According to Hertz records, as invoiced from Ford, there were 17 manual transmission 2007 GT-H convertibles. If an 18th car exists, it did not come through the Ford-Hertz ordering / invoicing systems. All of the 17 2007 Convertibles were invoiced from Ford to Hertz on October 5, 2007. Interestingly they are NOT in consecutive V.I.N. order but are close.  Perhaps there was an 18th, maybe  a "test mule" from SAI  ??   One of the 17 verified manual 2007 cars went to Hertz in Austria.  Also to clarify, the 17 manual car were sold to Hertz Corporate Executives AND to Hertz Licensees. The Licensees (operating as "Hertz" under license contract but NOT part of the Hertz Corp) were given the opportunity to buy GT-Hs in both 2006 and 2007. For technical accuracy, "executive" owned should be defined as "Hertz employed Executive" or "Hertz Licensee / Executive".  Hope this information helps,  Larry,  SAI  Registrar, 2006 2007 Hertz GT-H

I also have the invoice showing the 17 manual cars and their serial numbers BUT every time in the past I have quoted 17 manuals made for 2007 I get corrected by (I think its ShelbyMotorSports) and he states there is actually 18 manuals made for 2007.

So, I am pretty sure he knows something we do not and there is truly a "mystery" #18 manual out there somewhere.  Now, if we could be enlightened on this, it would help me be at peace with the world.

Help me ShelbyMotorSports, your my only hope!!!!!

Just to be sure I went directly to the list of 500 GT-H cars and sorted them by transmission type. Eighteen manual transmission cars came up. I then took these eighteen vin numbers and ran them thru Fords window sticker website and all eighteen vins were spec'd out as having a manual transmission for 2007.

So 18 manual transmission 2007 GT-H cars it is. Could one of them be a test mule, a mistake/error, a wrecked or destroyed car? Anythings possible.

Did you check the dash plaque on that alien ship? It should be number 10UFO-001P according to the registry  

If there was no dash plaque on it I'm guessing its a clone.

You gotta love this stuff, OK, now let's nail down this mystery car. Steve, on the Hertz  list I sent you  recently there were 17  Manual cars listed ("manual" was in italics) with the names of the Hertz Executives and Hertz Licensees that received the cars. Also on the list was all of the VIN numbers of all 500 (actually 498 that went to Hertz) 2007 GT-Hs . Which of the remaining VINs on the Hertz list  is the 18th Manual Car ?? Once I get that VIN, (last six will do) I will go directly to Hertz and see who got the car and where it went.  IF, the VIN is not on the Hertz list then we will have to defer to SAI records as to where the car went and who received same. Could it be the mystery car is one of the two VINs that appear on the Hertz list as "Ford Took" ??  Could it be that the Ford to Hertz invoicing is slightly off from SAI records ??  As the one of the world's greatest orators said, "Let's get 'er done"

I'll compare the two lists and see what if any differences appear.

Four manual trans Hertz cars for 2006. They went to Hertz execs and yes the CSM numbers are known. There are a few threads on TS discussing them.

eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww I'm so excited!!!!!!   

So, we know that number 500, that is supposedly owned by SAI, sits at the museum as we speak (and it's an automatic) so that leaves one lone car unaccounted for.  Could it be number 001 sitting somewhere?

Go get em boys, you get them answers and we'll be happy as "a whole bunch o happy guys" .
