IMO the grill screams for the old style rally lights. Very cool though!
 
1000 units! I wonder what they'll go for?
 
Going to the dealer today.....

MSRP will be in the general vicinity of 55k. Actual sales prices? :eek
 
Can you get them thru Shelby or are they going to be dealer items?
 
Very Nice!

Freak this is going to hurt!

Just a thousand? :lol

I think it would be slick if they made 859 coupes and 349 verts ala 1968.

EDIT: Oh, and much better hood. Hands down the best looking S197 stang to date.
 
My name is already on one. I am hearing colors are white and black only. Sounds odd...can anyone confirm?
 
Oh, another thing...anyone want a flawless 2007 blue/white stripe GT500?
 
HAHAHA....Actually I would go for the white and blue Chris.

Assuming 1000 units, I bet dealers won't have any problems getting close to $90k.

Could be over $100K. The question is which dealers will actually get one of these, with 4 times as many dealers as there are cars?

You can bet Ford will reward their President's Award winning dealers with an allotment. Customer service pays in more ways than one. :thumbsup
 
Chris, keep the 500...get a 500kr too.
 
I hear 600 for the USA...350-400 to Canada. Up here we'll be charged the 'SVT Fee' otherwise known as ....markup; 5-10k over sticker.:bored

I am seriously running out of room! Anyone make a lift in triple height? :biggrin

Keep one in the trailer, ready to go at a moments notice!:lol
 
I'd just turn the regular 500 in a 1000hp beast and have some fun with it...
