stewarbc Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Very interesting. Can we have another little hint/pict? Is that blue original or painted? I see hints of scratches or primer.......I can't quite make out the image on the wheel cap but I see a dent/mar in it(but so what). What a tease this is!

Firekiller Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hmmm could it be fender flares for widening the rear tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05mustangman Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 The idea of fender flares or rolling the fenders for wider tires could be a good idea. If it is a new car project, would have to say new Shelby GT or the return of the Terlingua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awakeinAZ Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I got a bigger charge out of "Skunk Works". A term mostly known by DOD employee's for the famed Lockheed division that developed the SR-71 and F-117A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07SGT Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Actually "skunkworks" is a registered trademark of Lockheed, though it is oft used generically. Does the color have any significance? The color is Petty Blue. The original Shelby Boss Trans Am Mustangs were the dark blue with white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Caitlin, Roger; lets make this interesting. What does the first person to guess win from Shelby? Could it be an entirely new Shelby vehicle, such as a Shelby Focus (ST)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glhs107 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Eagledriver may have it right...I believe there was 1 boss shelby gt350 produced I. 1969. The color was Acapulco blue ...if I remember correctly they were going to build around 36 of them....hmmm.....about the same amount of 1965 gt350 r's....

Rarecat Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 oooohhhh Boss 302 GT-350.....me likey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bad93 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 My guess would be a tribute car that is grabber blue with redn h stripes because when we were at Dearborn 08 we learned that was Carroll Shelby's favorite color combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHELBYCS6 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Grabber Blue was a 1970 color however there were only eight very rare 1969 Grabber blue Shelby's GT-500's built with this color and they were drag pack cars and I think only a few survived. This could be a re-creation of this rare Shelby beast. BTW...there were also 10 Grabber Blue GT-350 cars built in 1969 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Chase 1128 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I believe Gary and Vince have been working on this one for awhile. If you track your car, you'll want to stay informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
