New Mustang to debut at Barrett-Jackson Auction March 31

Great, another limited edition with crazy ADM's which no one will be able to buy.


Can we cut the BS Ford and make the cars avail to every one!!!

Its good for charity though.

I want to know what SE Ford can have that is only going to be 500 copies. Can't be the bullitt, i'm sure they would build more of those.

Better not be Boss, Bullitt, or Mach. I don't think Ford would be that stupid.. but i've been wrong about that before.

since shelby is involved, I have to assume it'll be either a Shelby GT convertible, or a GT-H convertible, either way, it will be underwhelming and overpriced.

Well, I'll be there on Sat and let you all know. I think a convertible Shelby GT, but there were reports of Shelby being involved in the Bullitt, were there not??? That would be a nice place for a debut. I'll make sure I take some pictures.

Either way I'll post them up. Unless it is a real let down, especially compared to all the great cars that will be there. This auction always makes me wish I had some $$$ to spend.

EDIT - The car will be shown between 6-8pm. I am going in the morning before the crowds get out of hand, so it looks like I will miss it. The article I found states it will be shown "live" on tv. On the Speed channel I think.

now I can see that being limited to 500 and would be perfect for this event since they will no doubt be uber expensive if ever built, but with all the lame SEs so far I wont get my hopes up.

This is just further proof that the Barrett-Jackson auctions are the root of all evil!

It's a Convertible GT-H....

Carroll Shelby plans to produce a grand total of 500 new Shelby GT-H Convertibles only available as rentals through the Hertz Fun Collection.
Expect the ragtop customized at to at Shelby's plant outside Las Vegas to match the numbers for last year's GT-H coupe. That should mean around 325 horsepower. Look for similarly distinctive bodywork, which on the coupe included a special scoop hood, side scoops, custom fascia, and gold Hertz stripes.
First one will be introduced at the Palm Beach Barrett-Jackson Auction, over the weekend. Shelby and Mark Fields, Ford's President of the Americas, will auction off serial number 1, with the proceeds going to Carroll Shelby's Children's Foundation.

That would be my first guess. It makes sense. The BOSS would be the second although more than 500 would be needed to satisfy its demand. From the article "... car will be limited to just 500 copies..."

I'm with Sean on this one. I think it will be GT-H verts. I think they will hold the BULLIT until later this year later summer early fall viewings. GT-H verts will not have an impact on sales of Mustangs as they will not be sold...right away at least. They don't want to tank one sale just for the chance at the next...they want one after another to keep interest in the Mustang line.
