A client of mine is selling his lime green 2005 Mustang GT that I got for him a few years ago. We have it on consignment right now and I’m surprised that it hasn’t disappeared, especially since you can lease this vehicle with a great monthly payment. He also just dropped the price to make it affordable compared to buying a new one.
I had a definitive car guy, Mr. Clark Jeffreys, email me details on his 2007 Mustang GT Eleanor Tribute vehicle. It was too cool to not do a Cool Car Shot and have it featured at CoolCarGuy.com for Cool Car Fans.
He wrote me the following, along with two photos of this extremely cool car. If you haven’t seen “Gone In Sixty Seconds” with Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie and Robert Duvall I would definitely list that as a Don’t Miss It, you may want to add it to your video collection.
“Hey John,
I thought you might like to take a look at the 07′ that was built into an Eleanor Tribute “Gone in Sixty Seconds” Mustang. It has 615 HP, 545 ft.lbs torque, Twin screw liquid cooled SC, ceramic exhaust and headers, 12″ slotted and drilled rotors, with a 6 spd tranny and 3:73 posi to bring up the rear.”
Look at that bad girl! This is definitely all that and a bag of chips! As a tribute to this vehicle, I’m dropping in the YouTube Trailor for the movie, “Gone In Sixty Seconds”. If you’re on the front page of CoolCarGuy.com then click here for a better aspect ratio photo of the vehicle since the site is compressing the photo to fit on the home page of CoolCarGuy.com.
When you get up to this kind of horsepower you have to know how to drive and I’m not talking about just being able to get behind the wheel, put it in gear and hit the accelerator pedal. No, you have to know how to handle 615 horses under the hood of a vehicle that has a curb weight (lbs) 3,483 or you can easily lose control of a vehicle like this and wrap it around a tree or something worse.

I’m back in Denver from a few days in Las Vegas with my lovely wife Becky and I am once again helping my clients find the right vehicle at the right price.
I got an email today from a client who is looking for a 2002 – 2004 Yellow Corvette, manual transmission that I’m going to track down for him. I am also looking for a 2003-2004 Infiniti G35, white with black interior and manual transmission as well, so if you have this vehicle give me a call and lets talk.
There are some serious deals to be had right now in the automotive industry, both in the new and used markets. When you purchase a pre-owned vehicle you save thousands from the depreciation that has taken place compared to buying or leasing a new vehicle. I had one of my friends from a dealership down in Colorado Springs stop in to see me today and she told me about a Toyota 4Runner she is driving with 92,000 miles that looks like it has about 50,000 on it.
Another friend of mine, sent me an email yesterday and said, “John, I have access to 384 vehicles right now looking for a home. See if you have any clients looking for a great deal because we need to move these fast and let me know.”. Needless to say, there are vehicles out there that you can get a deal on right now and if you’re looking for a specific vehicle I’m the guy to call. I have the networks and the resources to find you your car and most of my sources are not available to the general public.
There are some vehicles that command a premium and you should recognize that depending on your situation. I had a guy who was looking for a low mile cargo van for his business for around $10,000 and I had a few that I could have got out of state for him and had them shipped to Denver, but he disappeared. Sometimes people call me and want to use my service and then they go in a different direction. No harm, no foul.
However, I can tell you that cargo vans typically get trashed by the employees who are using them, so you have to be careful when you buy them and they generally mile the heck ouf out of them too. Proceed with caution if you’re buying one on your own!
Finally, I have a very cool 2008 Toyota Tacoma on consignment that I’m amazed hasn’t disappeared yet. I put some photos of it in this article to check out and you can click here if you want to see the details. If the link doesn’t work it means it’s gone, but let me know if you’re interested in one like this and I’ll track it down for you.
and I will be returning on Wednesday of next week.
My wife Becky and I will be staying at The Wynn Resort, so I’ll be checking out the Penske-Wynn Ferrari and Maserati dealership located in the hotel. I checked it out a few years ago and it’s extremely cool for any car fan. I will have to see if they changed anything and maybe I’ll get a chance to post some cool photos here at CoolCarGuy.com while I’m there. There are usually some very cool cars driving around Las Vegas as well, so be on the lookout for some posts from me.
If you need to reach me, I will have my laptop available, along with my phone so feel free to drop me an email or a give me a call.
If you need immediate assistance consigning your vehicle before I get back in town, you can call Mike Reitz at 303-909-2727 and tell him that you’re working with me.
You can also email mike at mreitz@jfrcars.com and he will setup a time to do a professional photo shoot of your vehicle and get it online for you, so that we can get some action on it and I’ll arrange to show your vehicle when I’m back in town.
See you soon and stay tuned for updates from Las Vegas or when I get back in town.

Happy New Year! Today, my son Corban turned 9 and we’ll be taking him out for the day – “Happy Birthday Corban!”
Cadillac CTS - Very Cool!
Many people in the automotive industry are saying so long to 2008. GM, Ford, Chrysler and most of the new car manufacturers had a terrible year as everyone knows. It’s true that the perfect storm hit the automotive industry in 2008, but they really didn’t do much to overcome the problem. They were it by high gas prices that went over $4 a gallon, scandals on Wall Street with credit default swaps that nobody had ever heard of except for a few bankers who were betting that people would default on their mortgages (legalized gambling), a real estate crash around teh country, massive layoffs with millions losing their jobs, plus the ongoing War in Iraq. I’m sure I’m forgetting a few other things as well, but needless to say it was not a great year for America or the World as a whole and the automotive industry got killed.
Unfortunately, it’s not over yet! Here’s a headline and an article that came across the New York Times this morning:
Treasury Expands Possibilities for Aiding Auto Industry
According to the article, “The Treasury is giving itself room to provide money from the Troubled Asset Relief Program beyond loans already committed to General Motors, GMAC and Chrysler.
That would make suppliers like Delphi, a former parts unit for G.M. that has filed for bankruptcy, eligible for assistance. The guidelines may encourage more guessing on what companies and industries are next, said Vincent Reinhart, resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington.”
The article goes on to say, “The bailout was originally intended to buy assets from banks and has instead become a fund for the Treasury to prop up lenders, insurers, carmakers, auto finance companies and, now, any company that may be important to those industries.
The Treasury has already provided $6 billion in aid to GMAC, the financing arm of G.M., and up to $17.4 billion in financing for G.M. and Chrysler, using money from the $700 billion rescue package.”
Personally, I don’t have a great deal of sympathy for the auto manufacturers. I assist my clients in buying, selling, leasing and trading in every make, every model and every price range of vehicle types. I help many of my clients get new vehicles or save them more money on buying or leasing a used vehicle, so I work with people everyday to see what they really want. the problem I see is that the automobile manufacturers have not been innovative to give the consumer more choices in the marketplace. There are plenty of product choices in the way of models, shapes and sizes, but I’m talking about going beyond the gasoline engine. Why would you as a manufacturer ever put your business into the hands of a third-party like the oil tycoons and give them the control to sway sales of your product, but that’s exactly what automobile manufacturers have done and continue to do.
Imagine for a minute if the computer manufacturer stopped innovating or even crazier, if they were to put their livelihood into the hands of a third-party. What if Apple computer had never created the iPod, the iPhone, iTunes, the MacBook and just continued to sell their desktop computers because that’s what they knew how to do? Apple would have been a blip in history instead of a successful technology company.
Think about what they did though and compare that to the automotive industry. Apple controls their own operating system. When you buy an Apple computer you get their technology to drive the computer. When you buy an iPod you have to use iTunes and they control that product, but what if they had created the iPod, and allowed a outsourced the iTunes to a third-party to drive the product? That third-party could charge a monthly fee, change prices for downloading music and before you know it the sales of iPods would be controlled by the third-party the same way that the oil industry ultimately affects the success of the automotive industry.
In my opinion this is one of the biggest problems facing the automotive industry. If they don’t have a paradigm shift in the way they create and manage their product, by putting the fuel source that drives the vehicle into the hands of the dealers, manufacturers or better yet the consumer, they will continue to have the fluctuation on oil prices controlling their sales. They’ve known about this problem for decades, since back when Jimmy Carter was President, but they continue to do the same thing over and over without ever looking at the problem with their business model. Gas prices are low now, but they could spike again this year and send the automotive industry into a greater tailspin than last year. This is in addition to the cost of healthcare, dealing with the Unions and other problems that the media focuses on. However, if you build a better mousetrap and have control over the cheese you will have a stronger position in the marketplace and people will come to buy your product because they want what you’ve created. It will be very interesting to see what 2009 holds for the automotive industry.
I’m looking forward to 2009 and I’ll continue to assist my clients in getting the vehicles they want at the prices they want with the features they want. I plan to introduce some new services and features at CoolCarGuy.com, I’m writing movie reviews at GoblinNetwork.com and I’ll be writing some automotive articles there as well. I also plan to put on some workshops in 2009 with a client of mine to give people some ideas on how they can fund their vehicle on their own and never have to use a bank again for their car purchases. This will be exciting!
Happy New Year!
Thanks again for visiting CoolCarGuy.com and I hope you have a great and prosperous 2009!

Cool Car Guy Rating: Extremely Cool
Hey Cool Car Fans,
There are some vehicles that command a premium and you should recognize that depending on your situation. I had a guy who was looking for a low mile cargo van for his business for around $10,000 and I had a few that I could have got out of state for him and had them shipped to Denver, but he disappeared. Sometimes people call me and want to use my service and then they go in a different direction. No harm, no foul.
I’m heading to Las Vegas, Nevada in the morning to attend
