Don't ask for pictures, as I wasn't allowed to take any.

Just took a tour of AAI. Saw several Shelbys. I saw an orange vert (no stripes), red hardtop, and 2 blue hardtops.

Word has it that they are running through pre-prod right now. 10 Units to be built. Lots of engineers running around. Really cool to see, and there was lots of excitement in the plant.

Actually, the orange looked a bit like the color you see on the road comission vehicles....;-)

I forgot to mention that they had the dark IUP as well.

Hmmm ... About the time all of the Hype dies down and dealers will sell them at/slightly below MSRP is about when I'll be looking.

I'll still have to figure out what do with those butt-ugly cheese graters on the hood.

Too bad no pictures.

Sounds like they are building mules for validation/press cars.

I am guessing these will be non-saleable and be crushed once their done with them.

And it is really if those are ugly and cheaper.



Brad had commented that these are functional ( ? ), any more on having seen this pic...., I do not see functionality ( plus ) to those of the Autoshow N.Y.
