Z-man Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 While not officially announced yet, the Simeone Museum is planning a Mustang retrospective event in the 'mid-summer' time frame. There has been discussion of a Friday night "kick-start" dinner with guest speakers, and a formal indoor display of approximately 20 significant Mustangs. This display will include Mustangs and Shelby's from the original 1964-and a half model up to...well. let's not give away all the surprises just yet. In addition to the indoor display, and outdoor car show for all makes/models/years of Mustangs is also being planned for the following Sunday. If you have a Shelby that you would like considered for indoor display (and a few associated 'special' perks), that meets the following criteria, please contact me by sending me a PM through Team Shelby... Your car must be availalbe to stay on display at the museum for approximately 2 weeks Your car must be in perfect condition and pristine...after all, you are representing the "Shelby" marque! Your car must be stock for indoor display (knowing some of you guys, this may be the most difficult request) More details will be posted as they become available Z-man (you didn't hear it from me ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-man Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 So what ever happened to this event? It starts this weekend and runs through July 27th. Here is a link to the show info... http://simeonemuseum.org/events/50-years-of-mustang-show We will be hosting a Mustang / Shelby car show on the 27th as well, and are just working out the final details. I'll post more info on that in the next few days, as final decisions should be made shortly. Thanks for asking! Z-man Few cars have had the impact that the Ford Mustang did when it was introduced in 1964. The original Ford Mustang debuted at the attractive price of $2,368. Dealers were inundated with requests for the sleekly-styled new vehicle. Ford initially forecast annual sales of about 100,000 units. On the first day alone, dealers took 22,000 Mustang orders. During the Mustang’s first 12 months on the market, sales built to an astounding 417,000. Within two years, sales had catapulted to one million. We’ll honor this icon on its birthday with a special show spanning the various models and special editions. Cars that will be part of the display include: 1965 Shelby GT-350 1966 Mustang Conv K Code 1966 Mustang GT350 H 1967 Shelby GT-500 1970 Mustang BOSS 302 1991 Mustang GT Conv 2006 Shelby GT-Hertz 2012 Shelby GT-500KR 2009 Mustang BOSS 429 2012-13 Mustang BOSS 302 2014 Mustang GT350 On the opening weekend of the Mustang show, we’ll also have a special “Mustang Racing Legends” day. Beginning at Noon on Sunday, July 13th, we will have a discussion of the development of the Mustang as a racer with Chuck Cantwell, the “Father of the GT350.” Chuck came to Shelby American expressly to make the Mustang into a high-performance car on a level with the Cobra. He’ll be joined by Greg Kolasa, author of The Definitive Shelby Mustang Guide: 1965-1970. We’ll also have several very special racing Mustangs on display just for this day, including the first GT350 R Model race car (5R002), Mark Donohue’s GT350R in which he won the SCCA B Production Championship, the Shelby team Trans-Am Mustang, the George Follmer Trans-Am Mustang and a 429 Boss Mustang Dragster.

It looks like you are saying there is a 2012 GT 500KR or am I reading that wrong? Hopefully I can make it there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, that's a typo. By his own admission.the person who typed up the list is not a Mustang expert, so he probably transposed a date. If you stop by, make sure to ask for me.
