Is the tax something new as I was told if you buy from a private party (not a dealer) you didn't have to pay sales tax, in Florida you have to pay no matter who sold it to you. I am getting ready to move to Georgia soon from Florida if house sells..
I have seen a few GT500 below $50,000 recently, maybe it's a sign of the times, money is getting tight.
I have thought about one for awhile but need to sell 1 of my Backdrafts first.

Got any more pics of your Backdrafts? those things look sweet.

What's it like to drive a true Shelby?

Today at the dealership they had three 427R's, 1 awesome V6 PP "Mach 1" car, and a S-PJ BOSS 302 replica. Good stuff. The Mach 1 v6 was grabber orange with black stripes, black hood scoop, chin spoiler and was selling for $22k, the BOSS clone was used and had 10k miles but was being sold for $25k - they'll probably get that out of it too.

The salesman was suddenly nice enough to start up one of the ROUSH's for me once I popped the ol' hood and showed him my Shaker system. They sound beastily.

NELS GT
Just a question, are thos boss clones actually something ford does or is that a kit people buy from a company? I saw one near where i live and the guy was looking at my Stage 2 like he wanted to race and the car seemed to be a V6 with a fancy sticker on the side. Is there anything different about these cars or are they just all show and no go? because i seriously thought about smacking the guy for trying to pass of the V6 for a BOSS anything let alone a BOSS 302 because there is no comparison between the 2. An old friend of my dad has one and it is an amazing machine. No V6 short of a 20psi blower would stand a chance at hanging with a real boss. Anyone have info on this, sorry to hijack the thread but i had to know...

Ok i found out they actually did make a replica, but it only comes in grabber orange and this was just some punk in a V6 with the sticker and the car was black... Sry for the hijacking again...back to the topic...

I wish I had stuff like this around me. None of the Ford dealers have any interesting cars whatsoever.

This sales tax thing need to be double checked. When I was stationed overseas (germany) and purchased a car there, I did not pay any sales taxes. Once I shipped the car to the US, the first question the DMV asked me was to show them where I had paid taxes. Since I stated that I had not, the state collected sales taxes before I could get my registration/plates. Lucky for me the state sales taxes for vehicles was very low...

Bottomline: I would imagine same would be true for all states, but who knows..I am no expert of DMV stuff....

Fraser Dante is a company that sells classic cars ... either outright or on consignment ... they usually have 2 or 3 cars for sale at all the car shows in Georgia. Since they are a business you will need to pay sales tax if you live in Georgia. Every classic are I have seen them selling is way overpriced ...

I hope the person giving you this "advice" isn't the same person that does you taxes!
