Don't know yet on the convertible, that is another item we are working on

Absolutely, if you can get the parts, we have taken all the inventory so far... sorry for that

err... 34k i was hoping for around 30-32k... and this is the starting price before adding leather and what not?? This would probably be the car of my dreams and many others but if it ends up that high im not sure. with upgrades ur lookin at 37-38 range for that money id rather just buy a bottom of the line gt500 (assuming i could get one) without any upgrades for 40.5k

chris

p.s. amy ignore some of the locals around Shelby is in my opinion at least an automotive legend and without his work towards the Mustang I must admit my support atleast would definately waver

On the colors, I would think history. I don't want to use colors that should be used for something more appropreiate

I am guessing that you cant get the white with blue stripes as maybe they are saving it for a GT350. And when will you have news for us about the 650 HP Shelby? One more question for ya Amy. A couple of years ago Ford did a AC Cobra retro that they were going to put out and then cancelled it for lack of interest. Is this something you guys might be working on? I would love to see that car come out. They did a fantastic job on it and I hope it finds its way to market

30-32k is the GT/CS coupe range, and the GT/CS comes with ZERO suspension & engine mod's! Assuming the Shelby is getting the FRPP treatment similar to the GT-H, 34k is a very reasonable price-point. I mean, I know we would all like to see them cheaper, but Mustangs just ain't cheap when it comes down to it. My GT vert stickered for over 35k!!

true but the GT/CS is a vert.... honestly I would think the difference for a coupe with upgrades would even out to a vert without

That's very thoughtful but there is no need to be. Mine are already in the garage. All I need is time or the GT500 to arrive. Whichever comes first.

By $34K I was thinking a premium GT and the Shelby package. If it comes lower, then all the better.

P.S. As for the locals, I would not knock them if I were you. Many of them are pretty sharp and all around knowledgeable. Even thought the Shelby GT is the best by far, there is no need to sugar coat anything. It's not a matter of not being complimentary, it is a matter of being realistic.

Ok, on the ac cobra, are you refering to the cobra II? otherwise I am not sure. This was a modern version of the original cobra. We are not currently working on it, if this is the one you mean, but is possible it could happen.

  1. Amy first off I think you have hit a home run. 100% retro as it should be! This is the look I was thinking the GT-H should have had. Obviously a real throwback to the GT-350 in modern form. PERFECTION!!!!
  2. I am hoping for more colors. At least vista blue or torch red with white stripes please! Personally I do not think gray or silver do a muscle car any amount of justice. Muscle cars are not about subtlety. They are bold, aggressive, vibrant, jump out at you and in your face vehicles. Car manufacturers fully understood this in the heyday of the 60's as it was rare to see them in anything but primary colors.
  3. I am hoping this car is no where near $35,000. Motor Trend stated $32,000 in the new issue with the GT-H and this is really the upper limits of where the car should be at. Since we are talking a base price here sin options anywhere near $35,000 is entirely too much. I will buy a 2008 Boss Mustang with 400HP for the same price or spend another $8,000 for a GT500. The car very realistically needs to be at least $10,000 cheaper then the GT500 for a modest 325HP.

A GT/CS can be had out the door for $29,070 Tres. It come with the 18in. Bullet wheels, IUP and a **** stunning 2 tone interior as part of the $1,895 upgrade. An extra $6,000 base price for 25 more horses and some suspension parts minus the great looking interior. I don't think so. I love Shelby's but no.

This car really has me excited but hearing $34k has me really bummed. I was willing to stretch to 32k but 34 is out of reach.

Remember payment for the "Shelby Name" and the labor to do the mods.

Guys, what i should have said was "under 35k" because I dont know the base car yet, or if convert are included, so let's wait to see what it is, when I am sure, sorry for jumping the gun.
