mikeljgt500kr Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 lmao Mike... exactly... person doesn't understand that Shelby American has no part in building of the car therefore its a Shelby in name only Exactly, and Ford SVT (and Ford Motor Co. in general) has made so many great cars over the years, you wonder why they are ashamed to use their name on it. They really think sticking CS's name on it long after he is dead and gone makes a huge difference to the younger generation? Us older guys are not fooled by this, kinda like Porsche buying the Ferrari Testarossa name and sticking it on a 911Turbo S, makes no sense really, it is a great car without some phony name, just like CS once said.

Guest markham51 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 What's wrong with that? I think it's great that Ford continues to honor Shelby's creation of the GT350. I agree. There is no "I" in team. Think of GT, Cobra, Mustang....now try and lose "Ford" or "Carroll Shelby" from the collaboration.... They were inter-dependant and still are. The fact that a "Shelby" is synonymous with the BEST MUSTANG available from Ford is a tribute to that relationship. Everyone wins... Just ordered a fourth Shelby this am.

I have no problem with Ford building a "tribute" to Shelby's GT350, just as I have no problem with people building a tribute to the '65 Shelby GT350 R model, just that I would not buy either. But it is a free country and people can buy and build anything they like and call it anything they like and enjoy them, so enjoy and pay no attention to me, what do I know about it, it is your choice, just as it is mine to not indulge.

Don Johnston Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 True. Partly because SA was now just a licensing office facility without production and the Cobra roadster had ceased production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperNC Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 lmao Mike... exactly... person doesn't understand that Shelby American has no part in building of the car therefore its a Shelby in name only Oh here we go again.... Ford/SVT made my 2009 Shelby GT500 and no one will ever make me believe that it is not a "real Shelby". Exactly, and Ford SVT (and Ford Motor Co. in general) has made so many great cars over the years, you wonder why they are ashamed to use their name on it. They really think sticking CS's name on it long after he is dead and gone makes a huge difference to the younger generation? Us older guys are not fooled by this, kinda like Porsche buying the Ferrari Testarossa name and sticking it on a 911Turbo S, makes no sense really, it is a great car without some phony name, just like CS once said. They are not ashamed. They own the rights to call it a Shelby and in my book (and many others) it is a Shelby. You older guys might consider not taking your personal opinions so seriously and not be so resistant to change. Change is good and if it carries the name Shelby as a tribute to the man himself and inspires a new generation of Shelby lovers, then I say great! Who gives a flying flip where it was made? What's wrong with that? I think it's great that Ford continues to honor Shelby's creation of the GT350. +1000 The new Shelby GT350 is an awesome car and a great example of what Carroll would have been proud to have his name on.

True, and 1968 is when Ford intensively started pushing CS out the door and taking over production so they wanted their own names, not his.

Secondo Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Who do you think gave Ford the rights and inspiration to use his name? Carroll said many times he was proud of what the Ford engineers were doing. The past is past. He was proudly with Ford for at least 8 years before he passed. He knew Ford was making a new GT350 and I'm guessing he was happy about it. He left his legacy in good hands. Too bad some here don't appreciate it.

Well said & just to add a bit of history for those that don`t know in July 2005, Shelby was at Ford SVT working on the new 2007 Shelby & spent a week working with Ford engineers.

mikeljgt500kr Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 CS was long dead when his estate sold the rights for Ford to use GT350. And CS never "gave" Ford anything , they always paid well to use things associated with him and his legacy. Ford learned their lesson on this when CS sued their socks off for trying this mess: http://www.mustangandfords.com/featured-vehicles/mump-0008-1984-20th-anniversary-ford-mustang-gt350-classic-car-review/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carroll signed a licensing agreement with Ford for them to use the GT350 nameplate. Just want to keep things factual.

Maybe, I do doubt Ford thinks that far ahead with that Raj guy in charge. But if CS was heavily involved with this and selling those rights, I wonder why he didn't say something about it before he died, that is where the missing bit of info is for credibility.
