Vehicle Description
This is the prototype for the 2007 Ford Shelby GT pre-title pony
car, as well as the prototype for the first retail Shelby
Automobiles-built Mustang-based convertible since 1970. This car
was built before the 2008-model-year cars went into production.
Finished in blue with a silver stripe, it's powered by a 4.6-liter
V8 engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. As the only
official press car, it was photographed for all media photos, which
were distributed worldwide in June 2007 and appeared in every
initial article about the Shelby GT convertible. That coverage
includes stories in all major automotive outlets worldwide, such as
Motor Trend, Road & Track, AutoWeek, Automobile and American
Driver. CARFAX shows Ford Motor Company safety recall on
