Any high mileage Heritages out there?

GTdrummer · Mar 19, 2011

I recently bought a 400+ mile Heritage from Shelby and swore (knowing I was lying to myself) I would not drive it much. Now I have 700 miles on it already.

Anyone out there putting much mileage on a Heritage? Just seems the way they have appreciated --driving it does not make much sense. Also, it gets almost too much attention--like driving a parade float.

I guess I would feel better if Jeff had a Heritage.

I'm closing in on 10K on mine. I think Spirit is WAY over that now since he drives his to every Rally. To be honest I've never seen one with many miles go up for sale...I know mines not so nothing to base prices off of other than they are now hard to come by.

Just had one in our shop last week getting serviced with 14k+ miles. I tried to buy it from the guy, but he would sell it

Are you offering one of yours for me to drive?

Checking on air fare this evening.

Truth of the matter, on the noteriety, all GT's attract attention. You can not hide what it is.

"Arrest Me Now" Red and "go Directly To Jail" Yellow and the beautiful Vintage Heritage Edition may be slightly easier to pick up visually, going down the road or parked, but the recognition by the populace is very intense for all GT's.

btw- red eye into Dulles gets in @ 6:45 a.m. Is that too eary for you, or should I stop and have breakfast first?

GTdrummer · Mar 19, 2011

Jeff-- breakfast is fine. We can even take out "write me up white". I think it is awful your odo has been stuck on 85k for 4 months---you gotta try harder.

I know Camilo drives the wheels off his Heritage. DBK probably would know the mileage

shelbyelite · Mar 20, 2011

Camilo sold his heritage about a year ago. It had well over 20k miles when he sold it

Why not just put the miles on your white one and let the Heritage accumulate miles more slowly? I'm guessing you bought it to sell at some point?

SteveA · Mar 20, 2011

I sat in a Heritage at his studio in May of last year, is this the same car? If so I'm surprised he sold it, he look at it like it was his a child. Is he without a GT now?

Here is the info

It's not really supposed to be a secret who has it now. Camilo came out to Utah with me last year and he hit it off with Greg and his wife Heidi, and they loved his car. After this year's trip out there, Camilo drove the car out, but came home on a plane. I'm sure the car will end up spending considerable time parked at Miller Motorsports Park, but it is Greg and Heidi's car now. I'm pumped they get it, because the Miller family has a stellar collection of all things fast Ford, and Greg has bought alot of Camilo's art the last few years. It's a nice addition to their historical collection. :cheers

If ytou look at the photos from the Rally at VIR, you will see Camillo's new car. Light metallic blue with white trim like a heritage.

GTdrummer · Mar 20, 2011

Thanks, Black Ice. I did notice Camilo in a non Heritage car with a one off paint scheme at VIR . Pretty car.

AtomicGT · Mar 20, 2011

I have 4500 on my tungsten, about 400 in the last year? Does that count?

Drive her...joining a celibacy cult is no better

metalman · Mar 21, 2011

I have 14,000 on mine, bought it new with 2.2 on the odometer in April of 2006, it shows like a new car still and much better than most that I see for sale with a only a few thousand miles. Drive the car and enjoy it, if you respect it and take care of the car, it will still look great with some miles on it.

Metalmans car IS nice!

I owned it for a few minutes..... LOL

GTED · Mar 21, 2011

I have 10,3xx on mine. I'm absolutely convinced that the odometer on a new GT (or a hardly used GT) is off; it turns much quicker than the actual mileage incurred....... At least that's the story I'm sticking with.....hahahahaha

I was told that the first 3 thousands miles are difficult to take, but it gets easier......

You know with all these gauge failures why can't the damn odometer fail?
