[QUOTE="USV8PWR, post: 13568980, member: 134833"] The 2013/2014 Shelby GT500 began it's development stage in 2011 from what I can find. Therefore, I doubt they were already realy working on the next Shelby or Cobra by the time Shelby himself passed away in May 2012. He was also quoted as saying that this Mustang was his favorie new car and everything he had hoped the Mustang could be. Regardless of his involvement with the car, the fact is that these were the last car to debut while he was still alive. As far as your argument that these new cars are not being limited produced while the early Shelbys from the 60's were limited produced, I find that to the contrary. Back in the early years, Ford and Shelby American simply built as many as they could produce and/or sell. Other than time constraints, there were was no "limited production" for the 1965 GT350 of which 562 were built. And in 1966 another 1,370 Shelby GT350 were built. Now I will agree that the 1966 GT350H, of which yet another 1,000 cars were produced, were limited in production because that was the order Hertz placed. All told over 2,375 1966 Shelby GT350 cars were built (including the Hertz models)!! Not to limited if you ask me. There were also no "limited production" of the 1967 Shelby GT350 or GT500 either of which another 1,175 GT350s and over 2,000 GT500s were built, unless you consider the single 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake they built. Many, many more of both models were built in 1968 (with both models now being built under Ford's control) and even the storied GT500 KR was not limited in production. They were simply limited by orders and/or production capacity and/or parts supply. And then there were the numerous VIN issues of the very early Shelbys... At least with these newer Shelbys Ford actually controls the allocations now to keep dealers from ordering a ton of them. And I wish all of my investments were this easy. Whether investing in stocks, funds, land, assets, cars, etc. you have to be able to pick the winners from the losers. Why I believe this car is a winner, examples of how well the public's reaction to the new model has been, and why I think 10,400 units will ultimately not be considered a lot is all detailed in my original post. :beer: [/QUOTE]
