Shelby GT500CR

[snakebittexan]

I know the guys @ Sandersons and their reputations well including one of the principals, top notch. I saw the GT500CR running the "SEMA Challange" on the Speed Channel. They've delivered several '67--68 fastbacks with a wait list of months for delivery. Pricey but it's essentially a new car wrapped by a '67-68 body. Supposedly licensed by ole Shell himself and registered in the Shelby Registry.

This may be some other registry, but it sure ain't in the Shelby American Automobile Club's World Registry.

to re-quote Bill:

For the money you could get a real 65-70 Shelby instead of a rebodied 6cyl Mustang without a pedigree.

If you want a licensed continuation Shelby Mustang contact Sean Sawyer at Revved Automotive Concepts.

The CR cars are neat, but the fact that it has a 351W for that price is a little mind boggling.

I think the term "continuation" is misapplied here...any of the restomods are a continuation of nothing.

If they are "authorized" or "licensed," it means they are able to produce a vehicle with licensed IP from Shelby.

The CSX4000/6000, etc are accurately dubbed "continuation," since they are produced by a company that carries the DNA of the original manufacturer.

I know..a nit...but worth picking.

Pardon, licensed by Shelby. I thought the cars were actually going into the Shelby registry like the Unique Performance cars.

Carries the DNA of the original manufacturer??? I didnt know that Superformance and Kirkham were part of that DNA.

The Unique Perf cars are not going in the Shelby American Automobile Club World Registry either.

They are not.

The DNA refers to the CSX cars currently produced by Shelby American. They are, by that fact, continuation cars.

? I thought that Shelby used Kirkham aluminum bodies, Superformance fiberglass bodies, and Kirkham frames for the continuation cars.
