NO... no more bare bones cars!!

We've already got a buggy axle from a silver cross pram and interior plastics used in lunch boxes. How much more "retro" do we need?!

 

The fan base and realistic potential buyers would be greater than that of the GT500 if the price turns out to be affordable, and if some retraint is placed on the dealers.

It would be in Shelby's advantage to spill the beans on the specs and particulars ASAP. Good will towards the customer base can work wonders specially if enthusiasm is built rather than pessimism.

As proven, in Mustang forums good news travels fast, bad news travels even faster.

 

OK history GT 350, WHITE/BLUE-BLACK/GOLD-/RED/BLACK- RED/WHITE-GREEN/WHITE, that is all i can think of.

 

YOU ARE SO RIGHT ON!!!

 

Haha, that's high praise.

</TD></TR><TR><TD>All 1966 Shelby Mustangs received black vinyl interior. Sapphire Blue was a Thunderbird color called Bright Blue Metallic.

Rocker Panel Stripes: White cars had blue stripes. All other cars had white stripes. Twenty-nine Black GT 350's had white stripes. Hertz cars had gold stripes except a few early ones that were white with blue stripes.


LeMans Stripes: Same Color combinations as the Rocker Panel Stripes. Some stripes were applied at Shelby American, most were painted on by the dealer. Most Hertz cars had LeMans stripes (early cars didn't). All 1965 Shelbys were white.

THANK YOU,i put in red 2 times and left out the blue.

 

2 colors?, history? Gotta keep going white with blue stripes for 1 of the colors.

My guess is the other color combo is either Vista Blue and white stripes, or Redfire and white stripes (already used black on the GT-H so Black with white stripes maybe too close to the GT-H)

 

I would assume Amy B is Amy Boylan...President of Shelby Automobiles Inc. So we are hearing things from a pretty darn good source.

Thanks for your participation Amy...

allright, guys heres the deal. those pics of the shelby GT i have were form my cell phone and they are 900 KB each and i cant exceed 500 on this forum. does anybody know how i can get these pictures onto this website??? lemme know, the sooner i post them the sooner you see the car. if anybody wants an email if you post your email address i will try to email them to you if we cant get them to the site.

 

After reading some of her old posts, I'd say you're probably right. Nice work.

Thanks for being here, Amy.

 

Try emailing them to me. I'll resize them and post them for you.

 

No doubt but hints and teasing don't make it. I would assume the facts would be a lot more pleasing.


</PRE>

 

not sure what you meant by that facts thing but whatever, alright here are your pics, i had to downsize them in paint to get them to work on this forum, so they aren't super big but big enough. i dont have any pics of the interior, it didn't look very different other than than the ford racing shifter. underhood looks exactly like the gt-h, didn't have my phone when the hood was up.

 

Thanks for the pics! Where did you take them?

 

Wait hold on a sec....those pics are this Shelby GT?
It looks like a GT/CS from the front with a new nose..the scoop even look like the ford peice.

Hey Amy is the grill an overlay like the Hertz car or is it the real deal?

 

As much as I like classic Shelby cars and the new GT500, this doesn't do anything for me. I'd love to see something new but this isn't that much different looking from the GT-H and the Cali Special. Please give us something new and different with more horsepower.

 

The plan was 2 fold, to give the dealers a good shelby like the limited we just did and develop a plan to deliver other shelbys as well. all with the right price points. Not every shelby will be 650 horsepower and big $$$ we believe there is a place for a Shelby at between the mustang GT and the GT500 for the public, this is it . There are 2 cars in the Shelby GT offering, one black with silver the other white with silver, they have the ford racing proformance packages, with a new Shelby hood designed with styling ques from the cobra hood scoop, complete with rivets around the scoop. it can also be in manual and automatic, there is other info, I need to wait on the release.


Hope this helps


Amy

 

Shelby WT-H.....
I'm sorry but i have no idea what any of this statement means. Last i checked the Cobras didn't have scoops..uhh and rivets???

Now i consider myself to be a pretty visual guy some might say even leaning to imaginative..but i for the life of me can't picture this.

 

Agreed, but I have a strong relationship with Ford, they are my partner and as such I respest them enough not to go around them, there is a plan. But I will tell you guys all that I can and that is certainly more then you will hear anywhere else...
