Hopefully it isnt another version of the new Mustang/Shelby. I think he is up to 6 different versions now. I love the GT500 and new Mustang as much as the next guy but I feel they are "jumping the shark" for you Happy Days fans with all of these models.

+1, but nothing that I 'want' to happen ever seems too, so I think your 'A' might remain intact!

Are they bringing back the Pinto, with a new tank perhaps?

The rumor that was never denied is that it is going to be a new GT350. I have some pretty good data that supports that rumor. It could always be wrong though...

I will be at BJ but not for the Gala, even though I have tickets, since I arrive on Tuesday. This announcement wasn't queued when I bought my tickets.

Also, Team Shelby is supposed to have a live webcast of the Monday night Gala on their site.

I was wrong-closer to 3800... An Eaton plus all that ghetto 'aero' and it's brackets and 1000 badges. $63K and still a live axle... The base car isn't even worth $30K. At Shelby they truly know how dumb the collector car market is in AD 2010. These will all show up in the Autoweek classifieds in a matter of days. And re-emerge at BJ on the next circus go-round.

Any number of Cobra replicas could be had for $63K with 600HP and a thousand less pounds. The only guys who know how to build race quality contemporary Mustangs are the MultiMatic guys in Canada. Not a BS car. Just no 'legendary' signatures on the seat and dash...

If Shelby offered 'body-in-white' '65 Mustangs with Dart aluminum 8.2 deck motors-THAT would be something to be shouting to the guys on a forum such as this.

Another example of how the man has destroyed his creditability with his primary supporters over the decades-but the posers and fawns will still line up for his crap.

Thank God they didn't let him put his hands on the GR-1.

Wow.....
I had a Gt-350 for 25 years. It was my first car.
Over the years I have often thought, what would I do if I could design a new one.
This new car is not what I had in mind.
Shelby American Wheels has some new wheels that look a lot like the old 10-spokes.
What about Borla's side exhaust kit?
Why logos on the hood in the stripe?
Giant plastic skirts?
It just seems a little over done with all of the stickers and badges
Maybe since I am 44yo, I am just old and out of touch but I don't get it.
I like the color and most of the stripes

I've heard that the announcement is that Shelby is going to join up with Chrysler again to produce a new Shelby/Chrysler Fiat Abarth 500.
