shelbymotorsports Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Was this an actual SGT before someone massacred it? Nope not a Shelby GT. Just happens to be a 2008 Vista Blue Mustang. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Nope not a Shelby GT. Just happens to be a 2008 Vista Blue Mustang. Steve so the upfitters pkg is bs? I thought it was exclusive to sgts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbymotorsports Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 so the upfitters pkg is bs? I thought it was exclusive to sgts. Yes the upfitters package was exclusive to the SGT which is why this Ford Mustang does not have it. This owner modified Mustang has some SVT Shelby parts and plenty of aftermarket parts but not a single SGT part. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheppd01 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 From the dealer Good morning Sir, this is Jeremy Burnett with Young Hyundai of Rockwall. In 2008 the Ford Mustang do not have a true Shelby. They had a Mustang GT Shelby Edition. After the owner took delivery of the car he had it shipped to Las Vegas and has the Shelby store do a Shelby modification kit that made it a Shelby GT 650 and that is when it became a Shelby. It has a signed Shelby badge on the dash but the VIN will always read that it is a Mustang GT. If you have any other questions please respond to this email or call either of the numbers listed below. Thank you again Sir and you have a great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denstang65 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I just figured that the 650 designation was used because the Dealers parts shop was only 648 feet from where it sat on the lot . Some one walked to the parts counter, got the stripe kit and modified it to say 650 . Oh, the "R" Stands for "Rare"! Or was it race, or renamed. Oh, just make it up! Sorry, could not help myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve.Madrid Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Ughh.....at some point this car will pull up next to one of us at a car show and the owner will be excited to be in 'the group'. It may be an ugly letdown. On the other hand, the car does have some nice upgrades, Razors, Paxton, etc. The one thing that I am very curious about is the CSM plaque on the dash. I would be interested to see some close ups of that and have Steve at SAI verify where it came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, why would someone from this dealership jump in on this? They should defiantly stick to selling Hyundai opposed to challenging Shelbyfiles. Let me count the ways, Why no picture of the underhood CSM plate, tachometer has an SVT designation, GT 500 horn button, snake on the grill, no Shelby GT or GT 500 front bumper or rear valance for that matter, and granted I've now owned 2 REAL Shelby's, but I'll concede that doesn't make me an expert, but till now I've never seen or heard of this one of a kind GT 650 R.
