Classic Recreations Shelby GT500CR
November 21, 2009 by Justin
This is the best Mustang News I’ve heard in a long time, Carroll Shelby is granting a license to Classic Recreations to build Shelby GT500CRs. It’s great thing, they’re helping the legendary name live on. Each Shelby GT500CR will have official serial numbers and badges to go along with the inclusion in the official Shelby Worldwide Registry. Other great news is the Shelby GT500CR will be packing 545 horsepower underneath the hood. What’s the motor you might ask? It’s a 427 cubic-inch crate motor, mated with a Tremec transmission for bullet proofing. A selection of 5 different colors will be available. Other mods include include Baer brakes, JBA ceramic coated headers, Be Cool aluminum radiator, 150-hp NOS nitrous system, Carroll Shelby signature seats, Simpson 5-point harness and Shelby 427 wheels. After seeing the concept picture, I have to say this is going to be one bad ass Mustang muscle car, I want one. If you plan on purchasing Shelby GT500CR, you better have deep pockets because it’s going to cost you $119k. That’s definitely too steep for me, but if you have the money you might want one of these legendary muscle cars.
