Actually I was looking for a stripe color to match my rims and this is the closest I have seen.  But after these past few posts you guys have managed to turn my thoughts to $hit.


What you need is yellow stripes of a different shade.

What I really don't like is how the chin doesn't match the rest of the car.  paint it orange and put the stripes all the way down and it's not half bad.  I think the shelby gt is a joke Now if they had of put the 5.4L in it, i'd have some respect for it.




At last count 5800 people didn't think so?

That's 5800 and counting.  Add another 4000 for '08.  As for the 5.4, that's what the GT500 has...for a lot more money!

check out ebay, they have about 5 on there for sale, all around 39k.

In most of those pictures the GO w/ Silver Stripes looks pretty nice.

I think it is growing on me. At first i was not a big fan of the color, but, On the SGT it does look good. They have one across from me at the ford dealership and they want 51K for it.Has Nav and HID lights.......


I wonder how it would look with GO wheels?

I saw 2 of these yesterday at Buerge Ford. They were both 5 spd, but had the cool, black, 18" bullitts!
No navigation though...
If they had an automatic or paddleshifters I'd be doing a trade-in now!
They were calling them Shelby GTC... with 3 extra options that didn't seem too extra.
Does anyone know anything about this package? Is the C only available with the Grabber Orange?

Uh, cancel that!
I did another search for Shelby GT-C and got this:

http://fiestaford.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/shelby-gt-cs-are-here/

Over this week and next, you will be receiving your extremely limited edition 2008-model Mustang Shelby GTs in Grabber Orange, marked on the Window Sticker and the door sill plates as the “Shelby GT-C“.  Less than 300 exist.
  • Total Exclusivity: Remember, these are exclusively for Southern California — they are the only Shelby GT units built in Grabber Orange available anywhere in the world — and only at Southern California Ford Dealers.
  • Unique Content Including New HID Headlamps: Every single one has the new for 2008 HID Headlamps (sharp blue color like BMW), 319 hp (due to cold air intake, modified mufflers, fuel calibration and a 3.55 rear axle), Handling Package (front and rear sway bars, racing tuned suspension, cross-tower brace), Short Throw gear shift, Bright aluminum foot pedals. Hood pins and scoop, special 18″ alloys, Side Impact Airbags, Traction Control and ABS, before your added options.
  • Carroll Hand Signature and Numbering: Every single one has been numbered on the “GT-C” door sill and specially signed (see passenger side visor) by Carroll Shelby himself.

    While I certainly think the Shelby GT is a beautiful car, and Grabber Orange is undoubtedly the MOST beautiful color.....I am not sure I would ever get this car.....

    1.   I think the car is very expensive considering what is offered.  I would like to go
         just a bit further and get the GT500.....(that is if I could ever learn to drive the
         darn manual transmission!).
    2.   I do not care for the grey stripes at all!   Grabber Orange was meant to be
         paired up with one color.........Performance White!!!!

    Just merely opinions from a very opinionated woman..........  but thank you kindly for sharing the pictures with us!!

    ...the MustangSource.com guy who put "Northern California Shelby GT" at the bottom of the pic needs to change it then... everyone knows if they made a "Northern California Shelby GT" it would be green...

    I like that color combo WAY better then Orange and Black which way to Halloween...Never understood why people like that combo.

    Because of this...

    I like white stripes on Grabber O too.

    Yep, a SoCal special, only 300 being built. Seems like every SoCal Ford dealer has at least 3(or more) GO Shelby GTs on hand. I took my car in for it's scheduled oil change and was browsing around the showroom. Three GO Shelby GTs and two Vapor GT500 coupes(one with black stripes, other one was naked, not even rocker stripes, looked very nice IMO). The low down? The dealer had the GO Shelbys marked up to $47K(on a $39K MSRP), the GT500s were $59K(on a $45K MSRP). If I had to make a choice, I'd go GT500 for the extra $12K(engine alone worth that much). Ok, I'll wake up now and enjoy my $26K GT

    I have a feeling that all Shelby GT's get silver stripes.
    Is that was everyone is seeing?

    Too bad, because the white stripes on that GT500 look even better!

    I'm getting ready to go the the Ford dealer today and see if they're serious about the "Big Sale". What are the odds it will include a Shelby?

    They do look better in person. I'll take some close up pics of one on Monday. They are nice IMO.
