What's your favorite Shelby Mustang? For me, it's the '68 GT500 KR Convertible.

I like any of the '65 or '66 Shelbys but I have to go with the Hertz model because it was black and gold (well most were). They were just so tough looking!

it was a really hard choice between the '67 and the '70, but the '70 won out because of the mean looks

Super Snake for me! That's just showing what happens when you blend old looks with new technology.

Early 1966 GT 350 for me. They had the steering geometry adjustments of the 65 model, but had rear quarter windows and a rear seat. No doubt, this is the best one. Oh, and while I am dreaming it should have a Paxton supercharger also. Dadgummit! Where did I put that lottery ticket . . . .

I voted for the 66 Hertz also. I love the paint scheme, and I think that Mag 500's look great on a fastback

I really like the chiselled look of the '67, the 68 just doesn't look as good IMO.

Took me a while to decide. And I picked the least "Shelby" of them all. (In terms of original design/racing heritage) 1970 GT 500. Light (Baby?) Blue.

Anyone see the '70 GT500 Vert on Dream Car Garage tonight? It was an absolutely gorgeous Drag-Pack car.

I have chosen (after a looooooooooong thought) 1967 GT 350 in Brittanny Blue with the Kelsey Hayes wheels and .......the Paxton Supercharger.

If I could have only ONE......

1965 GT350. :worship:

The purest Shelby. No add-ons or "purty" stuff - pure function. Never been a fun of the scoops, extended noses, etc that came on the later cars.

But, different strokes for different folks!
