Orlando, FL – On the heels of launching the world’s first replica Mustang, Revology Cars, the Florida-based specialty automobile manufacturer, will soon be producing licensed replicas of the rare and highly desirable Shelby Mustangs.

Long revered by collectors, the Shelby Mustangs represented the pinnacle of Mustang performance in the 1960s. With the Shelby Mustang replica, Revology will follow its proven formula. “We carefully integrate modern technology to improve performance, reliability, durability, fuel economy, safety, and comfort,” says Tom Scarpello, president and founder of Revology Cars, “while retaining the essential character and style of the original design.”

The original Shelby Mustangs were essentially race cars for the street. With unassisted steering and brakes, and lacking creature comforts such as air conditioning or power windows, those cars were exceptionally performance-focused. By contrast, the Revology Shelby Mustang will leverage modern technology in order to deliver all of the welcome features of modern cars, with even better acceleration, braking, handling, safety, fuel economy, and lower emissions than the original.

“We are excited about the opportunity to produce licensed replicas of the Shelby Mustangs,” notes Scarpello. “To a Mustang enthusiast, the Shelbys are special, even mythical. It is a big responsibility to recreate these iconic vehicles in such a way as to retain their unique character, yet make them fully modern and enjoyable to drive.”

So, they come right out and call it a replica, yet clearly the plan is to make them 'fully modern' - so clearly not an exact replica! No mention of them being 'continuation' or 'genuine' cars...

I saw this yesterday. They use the re-body kits from Dynacorn but don't say where they get the frame from (and that determines the VIN) The best description of the finished product is a restomod. Note that the basic product uses a LS3 as the base engine with the Coyote as a 4.5K upgrade.

They do look nice, and I think if someone were to do the same degree of recreation, they'd have this much money in it.
