Hey everybody, just bought a used 17 with 340 miles on it. Having it shipped from New Mexico. Original owner was an older gentleman with buyers remorse after a couple of weeks of ownership. Got an amazing deal on it and can't wait to enjoy it. Looking forward to discussions and meets with anyone interested. I'm coming from a supercharged 67 mustang coupe and was missing the power. This will surely make up for it.

My old one and my new one....

Cheers!

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys! I'm located in Ventura County and will be enjoying drives up and down Mulholland Dr. and PCH in the near future.
It is a shadow black with blue stripes. I'm going to evaluate once I actually receive the car if I'll keep the stripes or remove them completely. Contemplating a matte black stripe as well.
I ordered the redline hood struts and the side skirt inserts already. Anything else I need to know, accessory-wise, let me know please!
I look forward to chatting and learning more about the 350 with you all.
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your GT350. There are a few of us in a Ventura County. Personally I live in Westlake Village. I love the drive on Old Topanga Canyon Road between Topanga Canyon Road and Kanan/Dume Road. The country roads back around Lake Sherwood are also pretty cool. Hope to see ya on the road soon.

Hey Rob, I know those Sherwood back roads well. I'm in Moorpark, but spend a lot of time in Westlake and T.O. I'll probably head out to Malibu cars n coffee at the end of this month, weather permitting. Honk if you see me!

Hey SoCalShelby77, welcome to the forum and that's a great color combo. Looks sinister!! I too live in Ventura Cty., Simi Valley area. Last minute I know, but if you are interested, we are heading to Fab Fords Forever at knott's Berry Farm this Sunday the 15th. Please check out the thread over in the Gt350 Events Forum. If you want to join us, I'll be leaving the Starbucks in the Simi Town Center, (right off the 118 at Erringer Rd, NW corner), right at 8:00AM, and meeting the other guys near Burbank Airport for the convoy down to KBF.

I'll be in Lightning Blue (see my avatar)

Would be great to meet you, Brad

SS77, just noticed your stripes don't appear to be outlined in white? Did you cover with black stripe?

It came that way. The window sticker just says blue over the top racing stripes. I've yet to see another one like mine though.
Son is 6 years old and he loves going for rides in it. Maybe in ten years he can take it for a spin.

I was wondering if that was the same car. Mine is the white one parked right next to you. There are a bunch of GT-350's that go to that CNC most every time it's held. Really friendly guys, and they actually helped push me over the edge to buying mine.

Welcome!

Right on, Ryan! Was too pretty a picture not to take. It was my first time out there so I was busy checking out all the cars but I'll say more than "nice car" next time Haha. Seems like a nice group of guys and gals out there. Went for a drive along Mulholland afterward and I was quite impressed with the car.
On another note, was that you I saw on tierra rejada in moorpark too?

Definitely, the location isn't too shabby either. I might head out there again soon.
