[/caption] First a little history thanks to our buddies at Autoblog – Shelby and Factory Five have been fighting for years and had already put two lawsuits behind them. The first in 2000 when Shelby sued Factory Five attempting to block them from building any more replicas of the famous roadster and Daytona Coupe. Shelby lost, but won the stipulation that Factory Five Racing could continue building cars as long as the company didn’t use, or reference, the terms ‘Cobra’, ’427 S/C’, ‘Shelby’, ‘Shelby Cobra’, ‘Daytona Coupe’ or ‘Daytona Coupe Cobra’. In 2008, Shelby cried…
[/caption] Shelby has announced a post title Super Snake package for the 2011 Ford Mustang GT500. Production will be limited to just 1,000 units and has an optional 800 horsepower engine upgrade. Pricing for the 750 hp standard Super Snake starts at $30,245 plus the cost of the car itself. “We extensively tested our mods for the 2011 model car before we decided the package was ready for the public,” added Gary Davis, vice president of production and R&D at Shelby American. “For those who want more performance than the…
[/caption] Carroll Shelby, just a couple years away from age 90, announced back in June that the 2011 GT350 will likely be his last in that the company is looking to build fewer cars and sell more parts. It makes sense then that the company is reportedly asking for feedback from their customer base on which of their various aftermarket projects should get the green light. The first project looks at slapping twin-turbochargers on the V6 Mustang as well as the V8 GT model, both likely to be dubbed the Shelby GTS, with the packages expected to…
[/caption] Early last month, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation raided Classic Recreations on the hunt for stolen equipment, accusations that arose from a disgruntled ex-employee. The OSBI confiscated a number of vintage Mustangs in the process. After a month of false accusations and red-tape, all vehicles have now been returned to the shop with Classic Recreations and their owner Jason Engel cleared of any and all illegal activity. Unfortunately, the story is not over. Though investigators did not find any stolen equipment, the OSBI has gone on to accuse Jason Engel of not following…
[/caption] Three historic Shelby vehicles will be crossing the block at this year’s Mecum Monterey auction during Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance weekend. They include one of the three ’65 Shelby GT350 Fastback Prototypes, a rare 1965 Shelby GT350 Drag Unit and a one-of-a-kind ’66 Shelby Cobra 427 Roadster CSX3102. Shelby Mustangs always fetch high bids at auction, but of the 562 ’65 GT350s produced, this Fastback Prototype is one of only three created. Used for engineering purposes, it remained with Shelby American until May 11, 1967 when it was sold to Shelby’s Hi-Performance Motors…
[/caption] The variety of collectible cars you can find at any one time on Ebay Motors is incredible. Despite some modern metal and a Duesenberg, the most standout rarity for us is a 1957 BMW 507 Series II. Only 235 of these V8 beauties were built with this example showing only 35,116 miles on the odometer. With its current bid at $520,100, the reserve is not yet met with just over 6 hours remaining. Sitting as one of the highest priced vehicles on the site is a Pebble Beach Best-In-Class-winning 1935 Duesenberg Rollston…

2011 Shelby GT500
Ford is confirming to Autoblog that the 2011 GT500 will be limited to 5,500 units. Orders for the über-Mustang have been extremely strong during a weak economy with over 3,300 already spoken for. No word on how the breakdown between coupes and convertibles will fare, but you’d better grab yours today if you ultimately want to get your hands on one.
