Enjoy the summer with your convertible - I'm sure you will love it driving in beautiful Lancaster County

Thanks to Wayne1948, SGT0128, and 2+2 for the "welcome aboard" they gave me earlier.

I have been reading this thread long before I bought the car. Yes, have been enjoying it. So far though, we have had lots of rain. Not as many miles as I would to put on it yet this summer.  Car had just under 5400 miles when I got it in April. BTW, is someone maintaining the VB Registry these days? Thanks.

SGT convertible, # 0847.  Vista Blue,  GT/SC, converted by SAI in Las Vegas.  I didn't see my car listed yet with the others!

Hi Vista Blue folks,

Does anyone know if body parts are available for 2008 SGT's.  I would like to get a front facia replacement.

Also my 08SGT0712 has the deep reach two piece Autolite spark plugs which can be a bear to remove.  I replaced them with the one piece Champions and they are working great.

Just got back from a NAPA AUTO show in Mount Holly. New Jersey. We took Best in Class (1980 to 2013). Corvetttes took 5th, 4th & 3rd - and Mustang GT took 2nd - GO SHELBY GT

Congrats Wayne! I got back a little while ago from a local cruise...didn't win a thing but had a great time!

[Wayne1948]

Thanks Gregg - I would have given you a trophy!  I did another show this weekend and took Sponsor's Choice. Gotta love Shelby and the Vista Blues.

[Wayne1948]

Don't know how many of you have had the opportunity to drive past another Vista Blue Shelby GT, but I did and found it to be an exciting experience. Barb and I we up in Forestport, NY at my daughter's camp and we had left to go out to eat. My son-in-law was driving and we both see this Vista Blue with stripes coming from the opposite direction. When it was close enough it proved to be an 08 Shelby GT! My other son-in-law calls me from work and tells me that his boss just told him that a friend of his just bought a blue Shelby and that he has a camp on the same lake where we were. Went for a ride and there it was. He had just bought it from the Utica Ford dealer the day before. It was a one owner with 4100 miles on it. AJ was now the proud owner of #1672. I gave him a quick rundown on his car and Shelby and told him how great the Team Shelby group is (hope he joins). I found that going past one of the 2214 08's was something I would probably never get to do - It is a great feeling though when it happens - Wish we had driven ours up from South Jersey.

I pass them all the time, there are quite a few here in VA.  At least 5 or 6 Vista Blues in this area alone.

There are two Vista Blue coupes here in Montgomery. And we're both in the same Mustang group.

I saw that someone at Oceaneering on FM 529 in Houston has recently picked up a pretty blue SGT. It had paper tags on it.
