A dealership in Vegas ... Neil was the original purchaser, he then drove it back to Canada.

Yes, I had a customer that came to see me and I remember commenting on the fact it was #281 (CI size of the 4.6 engine) He rented it and had it for 5 days. I am in Palm Springs. Car had really bad tires when I saw it...

Hey Larry! New member here.

I was looking through my old car pics on a backup hard drive a few days ago, and ran across my archived "Rentals" folder.

I used to travel extensively, and when the GT-H cars came out I swore SOMEHOW I'd find a way to rent one while I could. I was always a huge fan of the originals, and there was NOOO way in hell I was letting these pass me up.

Then one week I flew to SoCal and had none of my usual equipment to haul around, and was somehow able to convince/hoodwink/finagle my old boss into letting me expense the Shelby, so long as I picked up the extra costs over our normal 4x4 SUV rentals. I couldn't wait!!

It was a TOTAL blast. The entire SoCal office came out to see and oogle the car, and I took a couple visitors from overseas on short rides, where I got one of them to scream (and laugh) like a little girl. Took a handful of pics for posterity, and I've kept the rental contract etc on the wall ever since as one of my favorite a souvenirs.

So going through my old car pics I ran across the "rentals" folder and pics I had taken of the GT-H. Out of curiosity last night and wondering where the car is now, I googled the car number, CSM06H281 (which always struck me as interesting as it was also the engine size). The top returns were your posts here asking for old pics and information.

I rented it from Ontario CA late March 2007, and drove it to our office complex, which was across the street from the famous Pomona Speedway.Had a great time on the road parallel to the drag strip. Never abused it, but did open it up a little to see what she would do.

I was impressed. I ended up driving it all over Los Angeles visiting different sites, including Mulholland hills, PCH etc if I recall correctly.

I was sad to give it back, and it was a memory I will never forget. Even had the full blessing of my wife. One more thing off my bucket list.

Anyways,here's a couple pics of your car from its working days you might be interested in. I have a few more, and possibly even video if I can find them. Glad to hear she ended up in good hands.  DSCF0911b.jpg   114.15K   18 downloads
