Gt 350 sighting

I seen a Shelby GT 350 (white) yesterday at a stop light. I got to say even with all the negative I've heard about it, the car is sharp. It sits slightly different and I think that the body mods really paid off. I didn't get to see it to long as I was taking off but it grabbed my intrest and I think with a car like that, Shelby got what he wanted with it attention!
to the shelby GT 350

I think you meant you saw the Shelby GT. There hasn't been a GT350 released as of yet (a factory version at least). BTW,

Sorry, had to do this.

The Shelby GT hasn't been released to the public yet either. (1st Q 2007)

LB, I know that they haven't been released yet. I posted that, because if you read his location under his avatar, he's from Dearborn. FoMoCo backyard. May have been a Shelby GT prototype driving around. That's why I posted what I did. Plus he said it was white, which is one of the 2 colors.

Actually I saw two Shelby GT350's today at Jordan Ford in San Antonio. One red w/white stripes and another one done up just like the GT-H. Prices were in the mid 30's. The red one looked like just a base GT made to look like a GT500 and badged as a GT350. Also the red one was an auto w/IUP interior. I'll try and take some pictures tomorrow and post pics.

Actually I guess my gf took a picture of it today while we were there. I'm not smart enough this evening to resize it, so if anyone can help.

Probably dealer conversions from GTs.

The wheels are the GT500 knockoffs. Its a GT conversion for sure. But a nice one and looks as though the dealer would have spent a pretty penny on it. GT brakes to.

I saw a GT-R!


It was a V6 with lots of tape on body mods and a rocker sticker that said GT-R.

Usually not a fan of take offs......but that one is nicely done....about what I would expect the Shelby GT 350 to look like when (if) it goes into production. The front fascia is a nice blend between a standard GT and the GT 500.

Nice looking car. Priced in the mid 30's? Does it have any performance mods?

The only performance mods I saw were the FRPP exhaust (X-pipe and GTAs). The price for the conversation from standard GT to GT350 is $10,999 at this dealership.

Sounds overpriced w/ no performance mods.

Hummm.... If this is at a new car Ford dealer, I wonder if Shelby Automobiles is going to have a problem with them using the GT 350 name.

I saw a white 05 dressed like this over 18 months ago in Brunswick, Ga. Thought at first Shelby had something new but ... it's not even a clone as there isn't an 05 Cobra (or Shelby GT for that matter) to copy.
