GT500

I was having a talk with someone today about the current run of shelby GT500'

Does anyone think this current model will be as rare/desirable as the 60's models in 40+ years time?

[malc350]

Doubt it though the current model is unquestionably a much better car. Probably won't be any petrol in 40 years time so they'll all be static displays...

No. It's just a production car.

You'd need something more specialist for any hope of that.

So was the 67 car not a production car?

[Darren390]

No, the 65-67 Shelby's were produced at Shelby's facility. 68 onwards were at Ford's factory.

[LuS1fer]

All modern GT500s are produced by Ford SVT, not Shelby.

Shelby did make some of his own such as the CS6 which used a V6 but Shelby was increasingly about exploting money and profit, not the integrity of the cars.

Tsk....no wonder 'ol Carroll didn't leave you anything in his will

Without a time machine or a crystal ball, it's difficult to say. I'm sure they will be collectible, but will they reach the giddy heights of the classics? Dunno. Lets just enjoy 'em now
