kaylan1521 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Man I can't wait to get mine but the back end of this blue one just looks lost. It needs SHELBY on the lid. If this is how they're going to be built I will be looking for a set of letters to throw on the lid myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just won't look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milstang Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 You would have to offset it to the left or right side and that would look a little "unbalanced" to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROUSH360R Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I think since it is a mule they dont have the production rear on it. I am sure and hopefull they will integrate the light in the tail and write shelby as below! Also notice the mule doesn't even have a proper trunk lock setup!

robertlane Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I saw five (5) GT500s today - none of them had the "S H E L B Y" across the decklid. I'm still looking into the matter. . .hang tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdwaterHotrod Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I saw five (5) GT500s today - none of them had the "S H E L B Y" across the decklid. I'm still looking into the matter. . .hang tight. 582[/snapback] Where at? Were they sitting still in a parking lot? At the SVT headquarters? Going down M-14, I-94, I-275, I-696, I-96, I-75, Michigan Ave, Telegraph Rd.? Were they in a top secrete garage somewhere? And did you have a camera?

robertlane Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Damn - I didn't check where the light was! I'll have to start checking. Actually, a GT500 screamed by me on Southfield (M39), so I had to give it a little chase. Never caught up to it I did see another one a few days ago at the Wendy's/Office Depot/Comp USA parking lot off Ford road. It did not have the SHELBY decklid lettering either. I will be more vigilant - you just see so much stuff around here it all kinda blends in. Well, sort of. At any rate, I didn't get the photos because I really wasn't looking for any GT500s - but I will carry a camera from now on. As for Ford - many of them are at SEMA and won't return until later next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCobra Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Thanks for the updates Robert. Let us know when you start to get some feedback from that meeting you had with Team Mustang. I'm curious about their take on our inquiries. Were they receptive? Thanks, KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milstang Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Thanks for the update Robert! Nice to know you are on the lookout for Shelbys up there!! Please get back to us on the third light if you can. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSOLVER Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 The press release say's that the car will have the name on the back. Pretty much has to move the light to the spoiler I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milstang Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 ..or move the name to the right or left of the trunk lid. I'm hoping for it to be centered and the light up in the spoiler. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBE Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Why can't they put SHELBY in smaller letters on the left of the deck and GT500 on the right? That would look awesome. Though it would be too easy and make too much sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Look at the back of the Shelby CS6. It has the third brake light in the deck lid and also has the S H E L B Y letters across the back. If Carroll Shelby can do it, Ford should be able to figure it out also. It has a different spoiler, but that shouldn't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
