ChipBeck Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Gentlemen, "Change you can believe in" has required just about every private company in America to "Change like you can't believe" to survive. My company has had to make radical cutbacks and for the first time in my life I am not looking for opportunities to expand. I am looking for ways to hang on. Next year, after tax incomes for those of us who can and have purchased numerous Shelby automobiles are going to get smoked and expensive toys are the first things to go. God bless Shelby American and best of luck to them. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroDan Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 The speedshop will be a blessing for Shelby. . .there are things that it can do that as a manufacturer, SAI cannot. As in forged stroker upgrade for my SGT/SC? Please say yes Robert! The Shelby pedigree is very important to me... Like Roger said to me last year, "We don't want your car, just your money!"

Shelby CS8 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I know we all what details....but I dont think those will ever be coming...and frankly they shouldnt have to. Respect the privacy of those invloved and move on...... there has been a change......the exact reasons arent really anyones business. Speculating about the circumstances has no value and only serves to increase the rumor mill. IMO. Well said Mike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Takach Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I just keep looking at the big picture and totally understand SA must make adjustments to align with current demand and survive during this economic downturn. The last 3 years they've produced: 1,000 Shelby GT-Hs 1,700 KRs 10,000 to 15,000 Shelby GTs 2,000 to 3,000 Super Snakes 300 to 500 40th Annv My numbers may be off....maybe someone can correct me (be nice). Fast Forward to 2010: 300 to 400 Shelby GT350s 200 to 300 Super Snakes I also realize they are still building Cobras and a few other specialty cars My point is the markets have changed. They can no longer assembly line produce these cars at SA. The demand is not what is was. It sounds like they are going back to being more of a mod shop and the speed shop could do well. The most valuable marketable asset for SA now has to be the Carroll Shelby name. Due to the rebirth of these cars the next generation has been introduced to the Shelby Mustang. They might not have the money to buy one now but they might want a hat, shirt, jacket, and etc. If I were SA I would market the heck out of the brand. Their Shelby brand should be in every store in America. I'd like to walk into my local Walmart and see Shelby apparel. I think it would sell. America is now familiar with the brand. I remember a couple of years ago when the shelby minature cars were in Walgreens. They sold out immediately and they were 3x the price of the matchbox and other brands they carried. Call me crazy (I'm sure someone will) but if selling hats at Walmart keeps them alive I'm all for it. I wish everyone at SA the best during this transition.
