I BOUGHT A SHELBY GT500! Delivery Day of My First Muscle Car
Autos & Fahrzeuge
I've been talking about it for ages, but finally a Shelby GT500 has joined the my garage! Auto Tempest has made it easy to find my first American muscle car, and the first US Shmeemobile, bringing together all of the options into one place: www.autotempest.com/?
With the Ford GT and Heritage Focus RS holding permanent spots in my garage at home, I've long been keen to add the ultimate brute to the garage to pull the supercar, hot hatch and muscle car together. From the initial reveal through to my first drive of the Shelby GT500 in Las Vegas just over a year ago, the plan was always to make it happen whereby the car will be used int he US for some trips before eventually exporting and importing it to the UK to join my collection.
Like all Shmeemobiles, I've been very specific as to the options that I'm after; from the Carbon Fibre Track Package being an absolute must (with the large wing, carbon wheels, rear seat delete and splitter wickers) through to finding a bright colour. Then in stepped Auto Tempest to help with the search and support the latest arrival!
Having come across Auto Tempest from the fantastic Car Trek series with Freddy (Tavarish), Ed (VINwiki) and Tyler (Hoovie's Garage), it's been the perfect resource for these purposes. Being able to browse through cars available in the US and Canada over the last few weeks from across the biggest sites, using filters to hone it down to exactly my choices has made finding this car brilliantly easy.

Here are the modern GT350 and GT500 listings on AutoTempest. Which would you buy?

With delivery day arriving, the car is transported down from a dealer in North Carolina to be delivered to me at Ikonick, the home of Barry Skolnick's private collection. A garage which itself also now features some new arrivals in the form of a Ruf CTR3, Jaguar E-Type and a visiting Ferrari Monza SP2. ikonickmotors
The plans ahead for my GT500 include a visit to receive PPF and stripes before a full scale adventure across the USA heading from Florida, via Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisana, Texas, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and into California. You can bet there are some big things in the works and some great videos to come, while the car cements a spot as a permanent Shmeemobile along the way!
Coinciding with the arrival of the Shelby GT500, the Cheers by Shmee150 store now features new designs: cheers.shmee150.com/
A special thanks to Auto Tempest for supporting my search and the arrival of the GT500 on the channel!
Thanks for watching, Tim

It's finally happened! I've bought a Shelby GT500 but did I make the right choice? I've been kept busy searching Auto Tempest in recent weeks to track down the right car for the Shmeemobiles: www.autotempest.com/?

Ngl I used auto tempest to find my rare 2008 350z HR that has 30k on the dash . By far the best website when trying to find your dream car or even dream build .

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the car no street legal in Europe and UK because of engine size and emissions.

Perfect 👌🏻👌🏼
Why he speaks like 5 year old girl?
That GT 500 came from Cosmo Motors only about 3 miles from my house lol.
USA
Carbon fibre tyre tread stripes would look cool stunning car though 👌
Congrats Shmee, beautiful car.
Should have just built in on the website and order it
Only if the new Ford GT sounded like that
Shmee u spoke about the GT500 having 305s in the front welcome to America lol. There is a version of the Camaro SS, challenger, charger and regular gt stang that come with 305s up front. Nothing special here lol
Damn 96 tho I would have got u for 82 same package same car
Still don’t know why you didn’t get the carbon fiber wheels for the GT. Since you were going to put aftermarket wheels on it anyway would have been a nice treasure. Nice GT500 though, awesome and congrats!🇺🇸
Grabber lime was the best choice
Import taxes is gonna be painful, new base model C8 vette is 80k plus here,
Congratulations, beautiful machine. Looking forward to seeing this beauty on the Nürburgring ring, and hopefully there'll be a vmax run on the autobahn.
Lol based in the US. Money does buy you visas
Wait, shelby gt350 r and gt500 are forbidden in europe
Tim's garage is endless. Must be amazing to just go out and buy anything you like. No limits! Thats the life hey tim!
It’s your slowest car

The supercar....The Hot Hatch....and The Muscslecar.....one hell of a trio
A 100k mustang is madness. I'd wait for the FPC C8 z06.
who the hell has a 180 mph speed limit
I have this in forza
Good luck importing it to the UK where it’s not street legal

I have that exact GT500 in my hot wheels collection, I approve, also great car, congratulations!
Now you’ve got a real car
This is a mean green machine!!! Tune it to a 1000hp!!!! Ha.
Ford GT500 bad ass!!!!
Ok love the channel but its definitely become one of storage and just being able to buy the next new toy on the block... Losing me Shmee .
This is my dream car I hope you love and enjoy it you earned it
Love the green
That's a cool garage. That Mustang is cool too I guess...
The hood does not have a close line flush to the front end at all? @7:07
haha Shmee "never ceases to disappoint" not what you meant I take it
Shmee I swear to god I saw you yesterday in south Miami! Bruuu your car is a beauty
Its awesome the whole package is sick.
I love it
I liked
Guys shmee i am hi
Wow! Cosmo Motors is right in my town! How amazing you bought this hidden gem from my neck in the woods! I never would have believed a Smee-mobile would come from my town. Pretty cool!
can't afford neither of them but I prefer the GT350R
The Hulk💚
the frount weels is not carbon
Your next muscle car should be a dodge hellcat widebody or something this thing is sick
Looks like you have pink eye....
12:09 That voice crack tho
Best muscle car ever made ! Congrats
I bought big boy pants 👖 , oh wait no I didn’t !
If you're going from utah through nevada into california, be careful on the mountain pass this time of year, its no joke.
🐍💚
Omg that spec its nuts!!!!! 👽💚
👍❤️
What are your thoughts on Ferrari 812 GTO?
Tim is buying cars as if it’s just GTA
Even rich people can get a stye...
Tim congrats on the car, it looks absolutely amazing in that lime green! In fact if I were to spec a GT500 this is exactly how I would do it as well it looks absolutely amazing, plus this is one of my dream mustangs next to the GT350. Once again congrats on the new car and I can't wait to see more videos with it! 💚
How much is the ppe
Good job, nice choice!!!
I can't help but notice Shmee's eye. Hope everything's ok.
The Front looks Ugly as fck. But still congrats on the new car 😊
what a nice journey through the colonies!
Congrats on the new car!
Congrats, Tim! Love the green. I hope I can get a photo of it next to my Aston this spring. Are you coming to Philadelphia? Quick recommendation: get rid of that K&N air filter before you need to replace the engine.
Is it just me or is shmee picking up a American accent?
So pleased you have added the GT500 to the collection. It has jumped to my second favourite shmeemobile, after the GT8. Can’t wait to see it parked between the Heritage RS and GT
Shmee what happened to your left eye? 🙁
HooliiShit bro. Thats badass.. cant wait to see the hulk around the nurbo
I love it. I have made the drive from FL to CA several times. I know you have some stops planned but winter weather might be a factor, especially in a rear drive car with wide tires. I strongly suggest you research the weather along your route. In Iowa they close the freeway when it snows and Utah and Colorado are higher elevation and are worse as to snow and ice. If you go north from Miami up to Jacksonville FL and turn left on I-10 you can go from east coast beach to west coast beach in warm weather. Of course if you are going to be going later in the year it will be fine farther north. Have fun and stay safe.
Finally! That American muscle sounds like a real car should do. Unlike turbo Porsches and McLarrens..
Awesome car!!!
Awesome colour!!
The colour is perfect🔥
I’ve got to ask, what happened to your left eye in the first part?
Nice ride;) I use playback at 0.75 thought for this video🙂
Your Ferrari motorbike is ready for delivery
looks agressive ;D
