robertlane Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Shelby Wide-body kit offers retro-inspired design to modify vehicles Detroit News When Shelby died last spring, Ford and Shelby American worked together on a tribute vehicle, a special Shelby GTR500 Cobra Mustang — Guardsman Blue with Wimbledon White racing stripes — that was unveiled as part of the big Shelby celebration last summer on California’s Monterey Peninsula. Among other special parts, that car featured a then-unique and Shelby American-designed “wide-body” kit with fenders flared to broaden the car’s stance and to cover wider wheels and tires.

Morgan19d Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 In person it does look very mean and muscular for the 05-09. It blends much smoother with the 10-14. Looks awesome either way though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMAv Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I wasn't very excited with the wide body kit until I saw it in person. It is really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygator Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I wasn't very excited with the wide body kit until I saw it in person. It is really cool. +1 When I saw it at the NY Auto Show I fell in love with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NordicShelby Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I wonder what the wide body kit would look like on a 08 SGT Vert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeljgt500kr Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I just love it on my GT350 'vert. But knowing how long it takes, and how much body skill and experience from the craftsmen, I would be very worried having just anybody doing this job.

Jer Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I wonder what the wide body kit would look like on a 08 SGT Vert? It looks amazing on verts, and amazing on Shelby GTs, so I'm gonna guess "double amazing"? LOL... Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to Brainerd on Monday June 24th if you have time you should meet me up there. Damn!!! I have to go to hotlanta next week for business.....we will meet up at some point this summer for sure! The car is not slated to be on a truck back to the midwest for a couple more weeks, so it would not have worked out regardless.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSSNAKE Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Damn! Too bad Shelby American wasn't "representin" at the "1st Inaugural Team Shelby Grand Nationals" in Carlisle last week. I was really looking forward to seeing the widebody on both bodystyles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know you had a wide body kit on your GT350. Your car is beyond super cool. I agree I wouldn't trust anybody else to do it other than Shelby. I think I am going to start saving for the wide body kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeljgt500kr Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thanks, I think mine is the only one on a GT350 'vert (or maybe any GT350?) so far. I does catch people's attention. I am taking it to a Make-A-Wish charity car show this weekend, I'm sure nobody there has ever seen a new GT350, much less one like mine, should be interesting. Guess I better be ready to talk all day about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ageishecker Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 My GTS generates lots of discussion everywhere it goes. I have the wide-body on the rear only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swa737 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hey Jer, is the wide body available for the 45th (2011) GT 350, also? The reason I ask is because the 45th has such a different rear end (center exhaust, bumper and spoiler) Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05mustangman Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I have seen the widebody on the 11 or 12 GT350. It was white with blue stripes. Looks amazing!!! Sorry didn't get a rear shot but it was with the unique taillights not the 13's. Thejmasterslim: Your Widebody Supersnake is just pure sexiness!!!
