Details

The Shelby GT was the newest performance Mustang to join the lineup in 2007. It began production at Shelby Automobiles in Las Vegas in January 2007. This car was the first to be produced and carries Shelby CSM #001. The Shelby GT Mustang combines the best in classic Shelby looks and Ford Racing Performance Parts for a well-balanced, corner-carving Mustang that is equally at home on the track or the street. This car started life as a Mustang GT at the factory in Flat Rock, MI, and was then shipped to Las Vegas for modification by Shelby. Ford Racing power and handling upgrade packages increase performance by approximately 25hp, and lower the car 1.5' while tightening the suspension and improving handling. The car is also fitted with a Hurst short throw shifter and X-pipe exhaust. Some key Shelby design components include hood scoop, hood pins, grille insert, sill plate and floor mats, 'Shelby GT' side stripe, 'Shelby' badging on trunk lid and a custom authentication plate on the dash.
