Well thats one fact you got right...
Like I said, the process for today is similiar to what it was in 1965 for a GT-350. The base Mustang, with proper specs, is shipped to SAI for the conversion. NOT to one of the many Shelby authorized mod centers.
Ford is covering their butt this time around by making sure the customer pay's or can pay up front. In 1965 they didn't have that luxury. Ford HAD to turn out a 1,000 (I believe that was the number) of "production Shelbys" in order to qualify for the SCCA race events. You could order a Mustang from a Ford dealer, just like today, and the up-grade cost to make it a Shelby was about $1,100 over the base price. Today it's about $30,000 over the base price. Just like in 1965 there is only ONE place to get those modifications done, Shelbys place, Vegas this time around.
Classic Recreations is not using a Dyna body, the point is moot.
