The idea is brilliant...........but the execution fails, for me at least. It's all in the proportions. It looks as though it needs another 12" added to the wheelbase.

A few of years ago the same was done on late mode Corvette modified as a 1953. It looked excellent.
It is not my cup of tea. I am a firm believer the good old days are now.

And personally, I put them in the same category as this "old Shelby". Novel concept, but the proportions aren't right.... and the result is just goofy looking.

Sorry, I think it's bizzare. It's a cross between a 69 Shelby and a 69 Mach 1, on a new mustang. If your going through the trouble, why not do all Shelby, which would be much better looking. We've come a really long way from what a Shelby was if they can serialize this thing as a Shelby. So they've licensed some Shelby parts, grafted them on a mustang GT in a mixed up fashion.....voila, another Shelby collector car classic. What is this cars pedigree? heritage? And yes, putting a 69 Shelby front end, known for it's overhang, on a smaller car, is out of proportion.
Ok , $75,000 for this thing. There are some real 68 and 69 Shelby GT 350's selling in this price range. These cars are a genuine piece of Americana, better looking, and won't drop in value $30,000 the day you bring it home.
I'll give you this. If you go to mustang car shows with this car, you'll be the talk of the town....but I think the comments you might hear are "cool kit car". Then you'll say...but it's a real Shelby! Give me a break.
End of rant.
