Any opinions out there about a '65 Mustang that has Shelby stripes and 350 GT markings, oh yeah and it's not a Shelby or a 350 GT.

Hey I think "clones" or just a mustang that has similar markings is cool, as long as you dont tell people its a real shelby.

I don't really see the point in doing that. Fake is fake no matter how you spell it.

Some people cant afford a $300,000 original shelby (including myself [:o] ) hehe. and there are only so many anyway. So a clone is the closest thing. I can see why you would do it even if it is a fake. I personally wouldnt do it, but if it's done well, nice paint job etc.
I think it looks really cool.

yeah, my friend has a 68 with the shelby stripes and gt350 stripe. looks cool, but not real = gay

Nothing wrong with clones, MANY do it and they have their place in the world. They also are in demand because of the lack of the beast. I would purchase a clone, why not? If its done right, they are just as nice as an original and valuable. Nicely done clones will sell for close to the same amount of the real deal..

that's why i really don't agree with the company that's grabbing up all the fb's and turning them into gt350's and 500's. they aren't really gt's and what if someone else wanted to turn that car into a true origional or a show car? now it's just like a thousand others instead of being origionsl.

It needs the side scoop and some different wheels.

I'm with Soaring on this one. If you don't want to go original then that's fine by me but there are a myriad of cooler and more creative alternatives. If it isn't a Shelby then don't paint it like one. When I see a stock normal Honda Civic with and "Si" badge I call it rice so how is this any different?

I would not call that a clone but, it looks to be in nice shape. I'm not a fan of the gt-350 stripe..

I'm going to have to argue with this one.... A certified SHelby will ALWAYS sell for minimum double the clones.... that cert is easily the difference between a $50k car and a $100k car. I will agree that a NICELY done clone is worth a good amount but come on.... a real shelby is worth double in every case I've seen when conditions/specs are similiar.

now a fake 350 would look cool but all it is is faking. if youre gonna spend the money on a stripe kit and all just make it a custom car and do something original. unless youre so used to your woman faking it you cant tell a difference until she goes behind your back to hook up with a real custom mustang. just my .02.

bwahahahahaha!!!!!! [sm=icon_rofl.gif]

Come one now, look outside the box dude. We are talking about clones.. a shelby is not the only clone out there and as I said, most well done clones will sell for close to the same money as the real deal. Take a look at Camaro Z28"s, Road Runners, Chargers the entire market... Clone's sell for close to the same as the real thing. Also, it's depends on who is looking as to what "close" is.. To me, within $10,000 of the real deal is close..

The market right now is HOT as far as a clone goes, I watch the market all the time...

i must agree here. you ever watch the auctions or wrecks to riches, the non origional cars fetch a lot more. now, in the case of a yenko or a shelby, yeah, the origional should fetch more.

The original thread starter did not mention anything except stripes and Gt 350 markings. Any 65-66 fastback could add those cheap markings and make it look like either an original or a full blown clone. That is just Mustang rice IMO.

mustang burgers and rice! yum!!!!!

I think this thred has to do with clone or not. I have to say that some day I hope to own a well done shelby clone. I might even do it. Right now I am doing a '65 C code to a GT A code and enjoying puttin on all the "STUFF"!!!!!

Mustang rice for the win!

I dont mind taking a plain coupe and making it look cooler. For example, i like the California special mustangs. Im about to buy a 68, and make it look like a C/S. Does it make it one? NO, but i like the looks. IT's MY CAR.

the most important thing to consider on any build.

but flipside of that coin, if you are looking to build it for a profit, you must take into consideration what the market is going for and your cost vs profit.

Well IF I were to ever have a limited built mega dollar rare auto. I really think I would want a clone also. Mainly so I could actually drive it and have some fun without worries of having it wrecked, adding miles, or anything that will make it depreciate but actually using and enjoying it.
I guess my biggest problem with some of the replies is It's someone elses car and if they are proud of it then great let them be proud. Weather it be riced or what ever term someone wants to use. The only problem I see is when someone tries to decive another to make a profit. If someone wants to be a poser they'll be a poser big deal! Most all of us have some amount of car enthusiasm. And most all are proud of what we have. If the few that were lucky enough to get the car of their dreams and were at the right time and place to afford said car, great! You were lucky or whatever. For the rest of us we'll either drive what we have or we'll make it 'appear' to be our dream car. I didn't want a matching numbers car, I wanted a car that I could modernize into the car we want.
05SDI

very well said SDI. you want to get technical, anyone who does anything to a car to make it anything but stock, would technically be "ricing it out".

im building a clone/restomod i like the look of a clone even though its not real it just looks cool. how many "r"model shelby are for sale today? if u cant buy one make one thats what shelby had to do!

R model sold at auction: $900,000. Go for the KO with the clone [8D]

ORIGINAL: Soaring

I don't really see the point in doing that. Fake is fake no matter how you spell it.



Let's analyze this for a moment.

Shelby didn't build the Mustangs he started with...Ford did.
Shelby added body components
Shelby changed the suspension geometry
Shelby added a few other performance and aesthetic enhancements.

If we start with a Mustang built by Ford (not a faked one)
Add the same body components that Shelby did (reproductions)
Make the same suspension geometry changes that Shelby did
Add all the other performance and aesthetic enhancements that shelby did...

How is that faked? We're not talking a New York street-vendor-Rolex special, here. We are talking the real thing...just not made by Shelby.

If you want to get technical, there really isn't a Shelby after 1968. Ford faked some for '69-'70. Shelby didn't have much to do with those years.

Edit - Honestly, the faking only takes place at shows or sales if the owner attempts to pass the vehicle off as authentic (i.e. competed by Shelby Automotive). That would be dishonest and unethical.

Well said 67Rally. I totally agree.

yeah, same with saleen, rousch, cervini.

I have NO problem with clones! Clones are OK in my book, with two caveats:

1) Don't try to pass it off as "real" - no Shelby ID plates allowed!
2) Make sure it has the performance to back the look! Honduhboy kill stories are built on 6-cyl clones!

IMHO, clones and fakes are two completely different animals. A clone only becomes a FAKE when the owner tries to pass it off as real!

BTW, my previous car to the saleen WAS a GT350 Clone, and it would run circles around most "real" Shelby's on the street, track or show field... ;) A Shelby is nothing magic - just a special ID number on a regular Mustang body. Build one today, and you have 40 years worth or better parts / technology available, plus you can drive it and race it anywhere without fear of destroying something "valuable".

Oh, and I sold it for an obscene amount of money...[8D]

now, that is a VERY respectable thing to do. has to be the best thing i have ever seen done. a friend of mine has a gt350 clone, but his doesn't say clone. i think that's just as cool!

I find it amazing you guys have taken the original posters query to these heights. He was asking about Shelby stripes and 350 GT Makings. Not a clone in actualilty with all the other GT Shelby mods that were done back then. By only adding the stripes and the 350 GT marking, does not even make it a clone. It just makes it a fake. And therefore the Ricer comment I made. If you want a real clone, then add all the parts to make it so. Stickers ain't gonna do it.

Hold on a second, Soaring,

Ricer? First of all, that is a derogatory and offensive remark. I know that it is all acceptable here and all, but there are many others that are equally offensive to certain ethnicities and not allowed here.

Secondly, you should post a checklist that would put a car into that category. As far as I am concerned, classic mustangs don't come near to that status unless one applies Yuban exhaust, plastic ground effects, 53" rotors and 98" chrome rims (ok, I am exaggerating, but you get the point)...sorta like the crapenors.

Applying graphics, badging, and other aesthetic upgrades is nothing new and can be executed tastefully. Adding a Neuspeed decal kit...not good. Get it?

I agree it takes a heck of a lot more then additional stripes (normal stripes lol) to be consitered 'Riced' in my book!
I don't have direct fine line that has to be crossed to become 'riced'. I think it depends car to car. Now take a Honda Civic put front bumpercover, rear deck fin, side body panels and it riced in almost every body's book, Now take a 66 Mustang put a front bumpercover, rear deck fin, and side body panels and it becomes one of the most sought after 66 Mustang 'R' model Shelby! To me it all depends on if it's done in class and I know that is subjective to many different opinions.
I'm am about to drop the hammer on a Saleen Supercharger Extreem (480 hp/500ft lbs) for our 06 Mustang convertible now does this make me a fake, a poser, a none poser (it'll be a sleeper because it will not have saleen S/C anywhere on the car) Or does it jst make me someone that likes our car and want to make it a little more uniquie, as in OURS. 05SDI,

Rice is defined as, "more show than go". That's the line. So just adding Shelby decals=Rice

This wikepedia definition sucks. They say that the car has to be Asain (not true) and yet they show a pic of a Neon??? That's just stupid. The person who wrote this must have been a ricer :D

Here's the link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricer)

i think that they ment the origional cars that were "riced out" were from there and rice is the main crop from there and that is how the terms "rice" and "ricer" started.

Great! So when I get the Saleen S/C installed on our 06, we'll be driving an ANTI-rice Way more go then show! lol! 05SDI

Yeah. I read it more carefully after you said that. It states that they can include German & American cars now too.

yeah, get donw to the nitty gritty you can "rice" out just about anything, even a bicycle (like a huffy).

I suppose that you folks are just ignorant to the root of the term. Just because it has been adopted in this fashion doesn't lessen the fact that it is derogatory. Try using that term in your place of employment. Try using it around Asian co-workers and see what happens.

Why not talk about purchasing a car and how you "jew'd the seller down." Many people I know use that term and even think that it is totally acceptable and harmless. I'd even bet that some of you use that term (or have used it).

"Ricer" as you folks use, is incredibly insensitive. You are cutting down anything that doesn't measure up ande branding it as Asian...and therefor crap. That, my friends is biggoted and insensitive. Wikipedia is hardly the measuring stick of sensibility or accuracy.

:eek: wow, this noob's got his panties in a bunch.

i have chinese friends with whom i throw the term "rice" and "ricer" around with and they say it to. i have 2 phillipino(SP?) friends who i also discuss "riced out" cars with and they don't mind the term. i am part jewish and have a few jewish friends and i have said "don't jew me out" when talking about money. some people have the common sense to know that when someone is talking about a car and they reffer to it as "rice" that is not a derogatory thing said to them. now, other words are completely unacceptable. i hear people say "N----- riged" and i feel like slapping them in the face. if someone was to refer to me as a "Mc", "Wop", "Spic", "Jew", "dumb Polock" or any term derogatory to Native Americans, directly (and they weren't a close friend of mine), i would get pissed. "rice", "ricer" and "riced out" are terms used when a car has got a million performance part stickers on it and is still stock, save for rims and a fart cannon. oh i'm sorry, an "exhaust", god forbid i insult anyone with an obnoxious "muffler". actually, they really can't even call those mufflers anyway. a muffler is something that MUFFLES the sound of whatever passes thru it. what they call a "muffler" should be called a "bull horn" as it intensifies the sound passing thru it.

you, sir, are taking this word way out of the context it is being used in and trying to start trouble by doing so. please stop being a troll and remember one thing. we all have the freedom of speach if you don't like what we are saying, excersize your freedom of choice and don't read it or be a part of it. i would rather not see threads get locked because one person has to be a dick about a word.

Ok, I may be a dick, but I do feel there is a sort of allowable insensitivity and then again, there is not. Newb? Hmm. I may be new to THIS board, but not new to discussion boards (my long-term boards - MySportTrac.com, Gretsch Discussion Pages, Les Paul Form - with 5-6 years or more on each).

Clu7ch, my goal is not to get any threads locked (I don't report people...I just speak to them directly), but rather try to discuss matters to RESOLVE them. I won't resort to name calling (demonstrates frustration and a limited vocabulary) when someone objects to my viewpoints. In this case, I merely interjected that this term is insensitive in public circles (using the, "my Asian friends" line isn't a good defense in a place of employment). Besides, I find that even in those personal circles, people tolerate that sort of insensitivity because they like the person saying it...but it still hurts (wait until you have a falling out).

Just to clarify my stance...I am about as mixed as they come (while still looking Caucasian) - 1/4 American Indian (Cherokee), German, English, Italian, Swiss...and we don't know the rest. My wife is Jewish. My circle of friends is more ethinc than anything else - Korean, Philipino, Japanese, Mexican, African-American, Peruvian...and a few anglos.

Look, I used a term (via image) here that got our mod fired up...yet he allowed others to use the same term (that's called a double standard). I take responsibility for my actions and stand by them.

I also understand how the term is being applied and appreciate the concept...but the term is still inappropriate. I am just as annoyed by that trend as the next guy.

Remember, more than 95% of discussion board posts are opinion-based...and everybody's got one. More often than not, they collide.

Since you all feel that I am standing on the outside looking in (oops, I mean a troll), then I guess that you are free to your opinion.

Btw: In Internet terminology, a troll is someone who comes into an established community such as an online discussion forum, and posts inflammatory, rude or offensive messages designed intentionally to annoy and antagonize the existing members or disrupt the flow of discussion. - Source: The Amazing Wikipedia

exactly why i suggested if you don't like us excersizing our FREEDOM OF SPEECH you should excersize your FREEDOM OF CHOICE and no longer bother with this thread or threads which you find un-acceptable. that term you hate so much has been used very loosely around here since before i started and is used in many forums and in my own experiances, even these so called "ricers" use the term. i do see your point, and it is somewhat valid, but i really don't see how "rice" is at the same caliber as "jew" . i have NEVER seen an Asian person get offended when someone was talking about a "riced out car" and like i said before i know A LOT of Asian people who refer to other peoples car as rice. with that said do you realize that the word rice isn't as bad as you are trying to make it out to be? now if i was to say derogatory terms around my Asian friends, they would have every right to beat me. i also understand that me allowing my personal friends to refer to me derogatory terms is my own choice and not every one will agree with me. that is why i am greatful for every man and woman who served for this wonderful country and protects OUR freedoms. i have the freedom to make up my own mind and be an individule and not follow what everyone else tells me too.

I really like the pearl white color on any car. I had a Toyota Avalon in 98 that was pearl white, and it was one beautiful car. My 65's name is Ol' Yeller for obvious reasons. My 03 Mach is "Bad Boy". :D

I came very, very close to locking this thread. Please stay within the bounds of the forum rules. If you don't know or remember them, go to the top and read them again. We are not here to argue......we are here to discuss. Yes, we often have different opinions, but name calling and flaming will not be tolerated. What may not be offensive to one person, may be offensive to another. Stop the cursing, and stop the references to races of people. That has nothing to do with Classic Mustangs.

Clutch that's a sweet name. No I didnt learn not to argue with someone from Jersey from you.

My current name for the 'Stang is obviously Sally. I'm considering Eileen (because of the flat tire) or maybe something in Spanish because Clutch gave me an idea.


that's a good one!


Yeah, unfortunately I have an xgf named Eileen so that kinda kills it for me. :D

How about the Spanish word for flat tire? :D
flat tire: neumático desinflado/ pinchado....

it's just too bad they didn't make shelby coupes[:o]

There was one '67 Shelby GT500 coupe made as a prototype evidently sold. It's nickname was "Big Red" and probably was the basis for the California Special and the High Country Special made in '68. It had the Ford Candyapple red paint, ten spoke wheels, white side stripes, black vinyl roof, and a prototype Paxton supercharger never offered on big block Shelbys. It had all '67 Shelby GT500 trim and interior. It is believed to not have had an actual serial number designating it as a Shelby.
