Thanks for the tour. I am a 2008 Shelby GT owner. I would like to add to a few comments that I could clear up. In 2008 , they built 300 in Grabber Orange, and 100 Barret-Jackson cars also. The car started out from Ford with the 54U , California special package with spoiler delete, (this explains the side scoops and front and rear facia, then sent to Las Vegas. The car had the " Shelby Package" installed at the Vegas plant by the race track. It was then shipped to the Ford dealers just like they did in 1965 for the GT 350. It was titled buy the owner after purchase. I feel that process is what makes this car collectible. Shelby had his hand in building this car while he was alive . He approved everything. Very few cars legitimately wear the " Powered by Ford" badge. This is one of them.
I have a 2007 Shelby GT with the 4.6l engine and 5 speed transmission. Love this car as it only has 10500miles on it. I did put the rear spoiler on it with the side window gaurds and black out panels on the exterior lights as the car is black with the silver stripes.👍👍👍👍
ok...what???? mustang shelby gt's... I thought they were supercharged...or enhanced for the extra thousands they cost above the standard GT.. I didnt know it was just a CAI, Tune, vinyl sticker, strut brace, a short throw shifter adapter, ball, floor mats, and a plaque...wow...$600 bucks in aftermarket parts and you will have one too! Definitely takes away from " I just raced and beat a Shelby Mustang" because everyone who has a mustang does those exact same mods and more...disappointed...
THE SHELBY GT STARTED LIFE AS A 08 MUSTANG GT THEN THEY WERE SENT TO SHELBY AMERICAN AND THEN CONVERTED TO THE SHELBY GT.AS FOR THE GT500 SUPERCHARGED IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT CAR.
Thank God you didn't buy one, I can't imagine the emotional trauma you would have experienced. You didn't list near the amount of parts Shelby adds, maybe o a little more research. And yes, one could still buy those parts for much less than the Shelby package upgrade, then install or pay someone to install them and you're close. But you still don't have a Shelby and if you were a true car fan, you'd appreciate that rather than criticize it. Same holds true for a Roush, Saleen or Foose, anyone could build those cars for less.
I AGREE YOU CAN BUY SOME OF THE PARTS BUT DEFINITELY NOT ALL SO IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO CLOWN A SHELBY GT AND THE SAME FOR MY 2 SUPERSNAKES LOL SHELBY AMERICAN MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BUILD A LEGIT REAL SUPERSNAKE IN YOUR GARAGE AND THAT'S WHAT REALLY HELPS THE SS TO HOLD THEIR VALUE.
These 07/08 Shelby GTs and 08/09 GT500KRs are the last pre-title Shelby’s built (and of course the 06 GT-H). They are a lot more than power numbers…it’s pedigree. These cars will get their respect, but most people have no clue what these are really are.
JUST SO YOU KNOW SHELBY AMERICAN STARTING IN 2020 TO 2021 SHELBY AMERICAN WILL BUILD YOU A SHELBY GT BASED ON THE S550 MUSTANG GT PLATFORM!...ALSO THEY WILL BUILD YOUR 2018 THRU 2022 MUSTANG GT INTO A SHELBY GT AS WELL! THE N/A 5.OL COYOTE ENGINE IS RATED AT 480HP WITH A OPTIONAL 700HP S/C...I AM JUST SAYING!...GOD BLESS AMERICA! 😇

Sweet car!
Such a gorgeous car. Anyone would be lucky to own it.
Agreed! Thanks for watching
Beautiful!!
Be carful with that optima battery , I had one it’s too tall it was arching on the hood
Thanks for watching!
THAT'S REALLY CLEAN LOL I LOVE THE BLUE AND I HAVE A 07 SHELBY GT.
Never understood why people cover the back windows. It looks plasticky and added on and reduces visibility needlessly. Beautiful car though.
Thanks for watching
@@TwoGuysandaRideVISTA BLUE IS SUCH A GREAT COLOR AND A BUDDY OF MINE HAD A 08 VISTA BLUE SHELBY GTSC OF WHICH I VERY RARE.
Only complaint I have is the plastic scoop!!
Thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuysandaRideI LOVE THE COLD AIR FILTER UNDER THE HOOD OF MY 07 SHELBY GT.
