I was hoping you were talking about a real shelby....such as 66's, 67's 68's..............................................

Probaly most of the ones you see are clones. They can get them to look close, but the snake stamped vin tells it all. I think the performance of the new shelby is badass, but the looks are soo ****ty. Where are the c-pillar scoops?

I don't believe there are ANY GT500's out yet and certainly Co. would be a strange place to see one. Michigan perhaps. I would tend to think it were a clone, but who knows. That si the fun of clones.

the c-scoops look nothing like the 67'68's though. I admit in person i would probaly like one more, but i just think they could of done more in the looks department. I guess it is a shelby though and shelby is all about performance.
