I could have used an "lol" at the end of that, was a little slow to figure out the joke.

Just call Shelby and tell him what you want. That's how I got mine. Told him what I was looking for and he called when he had it. Easy Peasy. No Ads, no searching.
Everyone has been so welcoming! Thank you for the PMs, the tips, the leads, and affirming the Platinum reputation of Shelby and other professional stalwarts of this community.
Naturally, a rainbow's number of hues has brought us each to this shared space. For me, the learning and research, shopping and inspecting, buying, selling, and negotiating is all part of the delicious 7 course meal of obtaining a special car. I want to savor each step, and easy-peasy may or may not be my path to the promised land.
My new searching update is that I am delighted to have an appointment in two days to consult about this process with a collectible Ford expert, who happens to live in my same neighborhood. A few here probably know Rich Barnes, aka Rockstar. For those that don't, please don't think that the noob, me, has stumbled by using that description. He has a decades-long passion and career very relevant to this search. Will be so fun!

If not buying from trusted source, strongly recommended having a PPI done by knowledgeable GT technician. See link below of a PPI form I posted years back.

Very helpful, thanks!
I am heeding community advice and planning for professional PPI when the time comes.
You won’t find a better one than this

It appears it has been 4 weeks to the day since I started my searching thread. I am thrilled, geeked, and stoked all at once to post that I have secured my GT. Compared to my original target description, it differs mainly in being a lot lower miles (1575), more pristine, and a bit more money than I planned. All of which is pretty good news, I sure didn't "settle" for anything less than my dream car.
My take: who needs stripes with curves like these? : )

CONGRATULATIONS! That car looks GREAT...and the fun is just beginning, I have a tungsten with quick silver stripes. Where are you located?
That was fast!

Guys, thanks for the warm welcome! I am in Denver. I have been studying every online ad and doing homework for this for about a year. That prep had me ready to pounce during my first call about this car; if I hadn't, it would have been gone to someone else the next day.
