Just like those Shelbys, the base Mustang is manufactured by Ford, then sent to Shelby American in Las Vegas for their folks to do the conversion to a Shelby GT. Now, having said that, the GT 500 is not sent to Las Vegas; it is entirely manufactured in Michigan." __________________________________________________________________________________
What exactly did I say you disagree with? 1969 and 1970 Shelby's were built by Ford and not converted by Shelby. The GT500 is built by Ford and not converted by Shelby. I didnt reference the Shelby GT.
I look at the GT500 in much the same way I look as the Shelby Charger (Licensed Name). I think it is more truly the next generation Terminator than the continuation of the 1960's Shelby. Its just a name. How exactly I look at the modern GLH-S's or Shelby GT (Cars actually converted by Shelby) I am still uncertain. I feel they are a different class of car in the same way that I feel a 1963 Corvette Grand Sport is a much different animal from a 1996 Corvette Grand Sport.
I have owned both a 1968 GT350 and a GLH-S. I am not against the modern Shelby GT Im just not ready to grant it the status of an original 1965-1968 Shelby Mustang. I judge it on the terms of the current competition and its status as a tuner car produced by a lengendary tuner. Shelby is the father of all tuner cars in many ways.

"Hertz originally ordered 100 four-speed cars but changed its mind after 85 cars were delivered. Reportedly, there were complaints from the San Francisco Hertz rental agency regarding fried clutches on those hills, which made Hertz reconsider the four-speed order. All four-speed cars were Raven Black. The rest were automatics." The majority of '66 Hertz Shelbys were Raven Black, per Peyton Cramer's original proposal. However, Kopec adds that some 200 were other Shelby GT350 colors, with approximately 50 each in Candyapple Red, Sapphire Blue, Wimbledon White, and Ivy Green Metallic. All had the gold stripes. --Jim Smart, Donald Farr
