40th Anniversary GT500 on BAT

Looks like a nice car. I did not know that there was a 40th anniversary edition. It looks like it has SS tags on it. Does this have a SA serial number?

What is with Dallas? I thought SA was in Las Vegas.

SA is in Vegas.. guessing its probably some Shelby America authorized dealer/partner (Shelby Cars NW in Garland)???

I saw one of those at Tasca Ford in 2007- "40th Edition." Thought it was some dealer add-on emblem or something.

Wow, she sure is a looker.
Nice car.

2007? Screw that, 2013/2014 is where it's at. Those ones still look great!

Another Shelby of America’s “special editions”, probably done at a dealership.

I think Quantum Performance was the Shelby Authorized Mod Shop in Dallas. They did a few upfits (40th’s and SuperSnake’s) along with Tasca in Rhode Island before they went belly up. They over extended themselves and the builds towards the end suffered. They went bankrupt and before Shelby could make claim on the parts inventory a bunch of the “exclusive parts” slipped out the back door, including some of the csm badges. Caused an uproar at the time among owners. The builds from Quantum tend to garner less money due to all the drama but it’s still a really nice car and with only 312 built and only 38 black coupes it is rare.

As a Shelby owner, could not care less about anything but the fact its a GT500, and that it has a legendary Carroll Shelby autograph.

I dont buy into the special "production" run nonsense unless its a GT500 based Super Snake or Shelby 1000. A bone stock GT500 with special badges means nothing. Only that Carroll Shelby signature does. Otherwise its a GT500 in a model year where they made 10,000 units.

Its a beautiful car, dont get me wrong. But stock car except for badges? Id rather spend that money on a 2011+ and mod.

Do not forget it has a tower brace and different color valve covers. That has got to be worth at least $20k.
I do like the paint scheme.

There's really nothing special about that car other than the signature, but for 54k you can buy a crazy low mileage 13/14 GT500 and have a lot more car.

Without looking too close I assume the family size snake emblems are super snake
