What's in a name...........& did anyone notice ?

My 2011 window sticker..................& a 2013 MY window sticker.
To my knowledge, 2007 thru 2012 MY GT500's had for a vehicle description " Shelby ". ....Window stickers for MY 2013/14 GT500's have for a vehicle description " Mustang ".
Don't know the reason for the change ?
Thoughts.

Just got my Window Sticker on the computer and it say "Shelby GT500" not "Mustang". But i have noticed from other people that some say "Shelby GT500" and some say "Mustang". go figure! Sort of like build dates and delivery dates, who the heck knows, its a crap shoot.

Guessing a 2014 ?
820 or 821A ?
.
When you get the car....would it be an issue to post a pic of your window sticker, ( exclude the VIN # )
Everything I've looked @ 2013/14 MY says " Mustang ".
.....................Thanks..

Below is a 2014 821A window sticker ( coupe )

Well, it IS a Mustang so technically it is correct. Not sure why they would change it up.

2013/14 GT500 Coupe with Performance Package (821A) = Mustang
2013/14 GT500 Coupe without Performance Package (820A) = Shelby GT500
2013/14 GT500 Convertible with or without Performance Package = Shelby GT500

Perhaps now that C. Shelby is no longer with us, it has something to do with the copyright on his name. Who knows.

It probably has more to do with the contract FMC signed with Shelby American to continue using the Shelby GT500 moniker on Ford's halo car.

As far as whether it's a Mustang or not, mine's a Shelby. That's what I call it, and it's good enough for me. I have noticed, however, that some GT owners take offense for some reason when GT500 owners refer to their cars as Shelbys and not Shelby Mustangs or just Mustangs. Not sure why this is, but it seems to be a case of unfounded butt-hurtness.

Mines a Ford first

Mustang second

SVT GT500 third

And lastly a Shelby

I'd buy the car with his name on it or not

But that's just me
