Looking at a 2007 window sticker, what option is GT Upfitters Package?????????

[911man]

It is listed below for $2140, seems to come with spoiler delete, floor mat delete, 18" black wheels, 3.55 gears, and side air bags. WTF, those better be some nice Black wheels for that price. Any ideas?

Well, that sounds like a dealership installed option. The wing-delete is somtehing you can request AT NO CHARGE. The 3.55 gear option is $100. The front floormat delete option is very weird -- not sure why someone would want thAT, OR WHY IT WOULD COST ANY MONEY.

It seems like the only options for that "Upfitters Package" are the wheels and the DVD navigation. I say pass on that car and find the one you want or order the one you want, get the wheels you want, and the stereo system you want with the left over money not spent on that bologna package.

 

[911man]

I agree, the Navigation is actually an extra $1995 on top of the Upfitters Package. Not looking at getting the car at this point, just curious if anyone has seen this before.

Thanks

It's most likely a Shelby GT. This option (54U) is the Ford factory option for the Shelby GT. The car is then shipped to Shelby where the goodies are installed (suspension, handling pack, intake, exhaust, etc). The Shelby installed options are another 7k-8k above the sticker price that you see, from what I've read on other forums. There are also rumors of additional shipping charges and gas guzzler taxes on top of that. The factory floor mats are deleted since the Shelby GT includes special floor mats IIRC

Why buy something you can build at your speed, unless you chose to finance the ride which some folks chose to do.

I posted this exact question 2 weeks ago and never got a firm answer when I saw it listed on a Shelby GT window sticker. The best thing I can figure out is that this option package is specific to either the Shelby GT alone or any Mustang that is shipped directly from the factory to an aftermarket converter like Shelby or Rousch. Saleen won't have it since they go a step further and issue their own VIN and window sticker. The option is not listed anywhere on Ford's website and the only place I've seen it so far is on a Shelby GT. Also, think about the term "upfitter". It is the term used for a company that does work on the vehicle after it's left the factory, but before it hits the dealer's lot. You see it in the commercial truck side when a chassis cab is sent out to get the back half finished off. The company that does the final conversion is called an upfitter.

the shelby GT package was said to add about an extra $2000, so it very well could be that the car was ordered to become a shelby GT.

Can you buy the Shelby GT for only $2,000 more than a regular GT? Are they already available and no dealer is over pricing them?
Sounds curious to me.

they are scheduled to be released this month. no dealer overpricing them? i doubt you will find a deal on one of these anytime soon.

 

[stanmckinney]

I am afraid you are correct. I should have bought that 1966 Shelby, a one-owner with 65,000 miles, for $13,000 about 15 years ago. It was red and sweet. By the way, why isn't ford making the new Shelby in red?

Here is a link which shows what the upfitter package includes/deletes 54U is the correct option code.

I might need to take a ride and see if they have it in stock.

The cost is actually about $9000. The're are 2 mandatory options on the Shelby GT, 1 is the Upfitters option which is $2k and the other is the Shelby GT option which is $7k. You could replicate this car for less, so it comes down to whether or not the "correct" VIN is worth the extra $$$ to you. There was an EBay auction last week that showed an actual window sticker, but there's nothing there now for me to link to.

 

[stanmckinney]

Sounds like a lot of profit built in there to me. And will they charge more than that sticker. Sounds like the GT 500 is getting cheaper all the time.
About $2,000 to $3,000 more than a regular GT for what you are getting sounds about right, not another $7,000.

 

[stanmckinney]

We all know now that you must add $1,000 for a gas guzzler tax. And Dealers are asking thousands over sticker. There seems to be little interest on e-bay.
With gas prices the way they are now and the way they seem to be going, maybe Ford needs to throw in a few thousand gallons of gasoline.
Could be an interesting year with gas prices going up and GTs and Shelbys perhaps setting for a long time unsold. Some great deals coming up????
