Shelby to stick around

Shelby American president John Luft told Mustangs Daily that the company's relationship with Ford would continue through 2015 and beyond thanks to a recent contract extension.

So much for the 2013-2014 GT500 being the last of them. There goes that dealer excuse for ADMs!

The Shelby GT500 has become as iconic as the Mustang itself. If the Shelby GT500 disappeared, there would be a big void in the Mustang lineup. Good to hear Ford will stay aligned with Shelby. FTW.

ford should drop the old mans name already. Its a sticker that doesnt add hp.

+1 SVT is perfectly capable of making great cars without adding $10000 stickers and decals

:rofl2:
I always think its funny when you guys think the price is going to go down if they take his name off of it. :hilarious: ...and it says Shelby in TWO spots

Ouch, he's not dead yet.

LOL....no, he's not. Although I understand he's not been well recently, and missed some of the 50th Anniversary events :(

I hope he doesn't die before he signs my vehicle plate I ordered last sept. Is that wrong of me?

Only a little bit wrong :D

the 04 svt cobra was truly a different car then the normal mustang. The current gt500 is a mustang with parts on it.

Sometimes I think Adrian believes some of the stuff he says. :p

I realize that $10000 is an over exaggeration but I do believe that is part of the reason for some of the mark up. Ford pays him royalties and using Shelby parts will cost for more than motorcraft parts

Agreed - having Shelby attached when he really has no involvement in the thing is silly. SVT Cobra was a better way to differentiate and SVT should be more involved again. But unless they start doing a SVT Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, etc., there isn't much future for SVT making only the GT-500 and Raptor.

They don't use any Shelby parts now.

Looks like the next Gen is coming next year.
If a person bought a 13 Shelby GT500 you would have the only year this model was in production.
So, if a person lived to be 110 minus 10 or so, the car would be worth some extra coinage as a collector.

Fair enough, I'm not in a place to do research right now and I can't disprove what you've said, but either way, if nothing else he is still getting royalties

I wouldn't lie to you. :D and those royalties would just turn into profit for Ford.
