First Round of Shelby GT350s Headed to Dealerships

The wait is officially over. The first models of the new Shelby GT350 are finally making their way to U.S. dealerships, right now.

In fact some lucky owner is probably being handed the keys to one of the new cars as you read this. And as most expected (or feared), there are already reports of dealerships spiking up the cost on the track-focused S550 variant. Yup, there certainly are, and at a pretty hefty price tag.

A dealership in New Jersey reportedly sold a GT350 for $40k over the $63, 495 sticker, costing the owner more than $100,000 to take the keys to his new Shelby, as highlighted in a Carscoop report.

So if you just recently decided that a GT350 might make a nice addition to your garage, then you might want to plan on putting aside some extra cash. That, or send your local Ford dealership a really nice gift. Just a thought.
