In addition to the sticker, the engine sure looks like a GT500, as do the steering wheel, striping, wheels, and rear cap. Looks like the real deal to me.

The only one of those items that you mentioned that could even be seen in any of those pics is the dash plaque and I'm not certain the GT500's actually get those, that may be a Shelby GT only item.

The carpet is covered by the paper floor mat, the sill palte is out of the frame as is the headrest, etc, etc.

Dude...it's a real GT500

Yea, the dash plate is only on the Shelby GT, not the GT500. I saw vapor on an 08 expedition today. Have to say I like it better then Tungsten or any of the silvers or lighter greys before it. Very classy. I would have had a hard time choosing between alloy and vapor. Would look great with any kind of black trim. Looks totally different in person, no touch of purple like the photos seem to have.

Unless those aren't real pics, that's a real GT500. Look a little closer next time before you try to give us your expert opinion.

If you look at the pictures of the gauge dials, they look like what is on a GT500. The convertibles don't have stripes. From Ford, the GT500 does not come with a dash signature or sill plate, carpets, or headrest with Shelby's name.

Still have yet to get a stang with it but got a couple fusions. Beautiful color, should of dumped the standard silver and introduced another color instead(azure blue or dark amethyst maybe).

Too much cash! The GT is a true pony car. Cheap and fast.

It might not have been the best of ideas to be greedy.

Yea it's a GT500 the Vin starts with 1ZVHT89 which is a GT500 vert the coups are 1ZVHT88. No Shelby stuff on the inside on the GT500. The Shelby GT has all that stuff but not the GT500. I like the tungsten better also it's a one year color for the Shelby GT500
