Blip Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Interesting concept, but all the photos I've seen of their other conversions just seem to make them look a bit 'bulky" or even a tad CAR-toonish inproportions. I was interested in the 69-70 Shelby conversion, but the photos didn't win me over much. So what's the up close and in-person review on the style and handling? Looks like it might be a heavy one too.

NordicShelby Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I saw the car and took some photos of it. All I am going to say is its not my cup of tea...... but the BOSS 302S is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalwrench Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Even though I'm not sure Doc Scott was referring to the Retrobuilt Shelby, here's a link to it. http://www.retrobuilt.com/specs.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc scott Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 my camera is being a POS, its based on the 69 Mustang look retrofit, total cosmetic kit, was hoping for performance and handling upgrades. The prototype was done on a 06 car,it had issues. Doc Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalwrench Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Let me be the first to say: WTF? It's a Ford S197 Retrobuilt Shelby Mach 1 Terlingua? I give them credit for the effort, but it seems to have an identity crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blip Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 The craftsmanship and built quality look good, but too me, it still has a CAR-toonish look to the proportions of the body/wheels/graphics. I think deep dish rear wheels with bigger tires might help and some performance options too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NordicShelby Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Here. I'll break it down for you. Shelby GT = SGT Shelby GTS = SGTS GTS = GTS I see your point of view, you can call it a SGTS and I will call it a GTS and we will all be good. It did bother me at first that you insisted on calling the NEW SHELBY GTS a SGTS but now I get it, you just say Tamatoe and I say Tomatoe. It must be my Minnesota accent........ Sorry back on Topic......Shelby should figure out what needs to be done to make a Terlingua out of the current V6 becuase the bunny needs to hop another day.
