| Stop the servers! Batten down the hatches! Cover grandma’s ears —
we’ve got breaking news so big, we wouldn’t be surprised if this event
is the fulcrum on which the apocalypse will finally turn! Ford is releasing another Mustang variant! To be honest, we’re as shocked as you are. In the wake of the several
thousand new and unique Mustang trims Ford has released in the
past few weeks, who would have expected another? Yet here it is:
the 2008 Ford Shelby GT convertible. That’s right, the Shelby GT
coupe — which is based on the Shelby GT-H Hertz rental car,
which is based on the regular Mustang GT, which is based on the
regular Mustang — is losing its lid. Ford says it will aim to limit production of the new droptop to just
2300 units, although that number surely can be revised upward
if demand warrants. Like the coupe on which it’s based, the Shelby GT
convertible is hopped up from a more pedestrian Mustang GT
convertible through the use of a number of Ford Racing bolt-ons. |
