You shouldn't! Talk about service after the sale. I posted on the Forum yesterday morning looking for one of the Ford trickle chargers to complete my "OEM" package of stuff for #422 which I had purchased from Shelby a couple of weeks ago. Neither he nor I realized that it was not in the black bag with the car cover. It is a small item and folks rarely use them but I just wanted it for completeness. I wasn't about to call Shelby after two weeks and complain that there was no charger especially since he had already sent me a new tire (I discovered that one had been plugged after I got home with the car and neither he nor I noticed it before). Because I was obviously being picky, I was quite happy to procure one of the chargers for myself. True to form, folks on the Forum responded quickly and within half a day I found one through FastPartsNetwork.com which is tmcphail's company - a member of this forum. All of the sudden Shelby sees the post I made, contacts me to see if I am looking for the charger with regard to the GT I purchased from him and immediately, without my asking, offers to send me one. I told him that I didn't expect that and that I had already purchased one and it really wasn't necessary. He promptly volunteered to pay for the charger I had purchased and wouldn't take no for an answer! That's what I call service after the sale and I thought you guys would enjoy hearing about it. Thank you Shelby, You're a stand up guy as far as I'm concerned! :thumbsup:cheers
P.S. here's a photo of # 422 from Shelby's website.

dbtgt,

I have not personally dealt with Shelby, though he is talked about very positively for being a standup guy out here in SoCal. :thumbsup

I just feel good customer service is the right thing to do. Wether I sell a person a $20k car or a $200k car, I treat them how I would want to be treated if I was on the buying end! Hope you enjoy the car David! :thumbsup

Monaco greetings and 'WAY TO GO, DAVE!!

Hey, Dave!!
Greetings from Monaco and congrats on the purchase of a nice looking GT40, especially one bought thru Shelby, certainly my vendor-of-choice!
Start saving for 2010 and Monaco Historique's, F1 and the Mile Miglia. I can assure you, this adventure has been top-shelf from the get-go!
We'll down a nice bottle of AMARONE when we get to Brescia tomorrow in celebration of your new car, sort of like smashing the champers over the bow!
Best regards,
Paul
