“Building off the success of
the Shelby GT-H Rent-A-Racer® program, we thought we’d
highlight some of our new parts for the upcoming Shelby GT with
a different kind of concept,” said Carroll Shelby, Chairman
of Shelby Automobiles, Inc. “With more horsepower, a race
suspension and the ability to put the top down, it makes you wish
for summer and the open road again.”
Just like 500 of its rental
coupe siblings:
The Shelby GT-H Convertible Concept starts life similar to its 500
coupe siblings by utilizing the Ford Racing handling package including
front springs, sway bars and dampers for better handling and more
aggressive looks. Eibach in conjunction with SAI developed a new
rear spring combination for Mustang convertibles that lowers the
ride height, but still allows for a comfortable ride. Power comes
from the tried and true Ford Racing power pack that ups the horsepower
and torque through a revised air intake, exhaust and re-calibration.
Like its rental brothers, the GT-H Convertible Concept is decked
out in black with gold stripes and has the aggressive styled hood,
front fascia, grille, side scoops and GT-H markings.
Big differences:
Unlike its coupe siblings the Shelby GT-H Convertible Concept features
a host of upgrades that will be available to upcoming 2005 and later
Mustangs, Shelby GT customers and the lucky few who will be purchasing
the Shelby GT-H’s after tours of rental duty. Upgrades include
14” brake package; custom 20”American Racing Razor wheels;
rear brake duct kit; front brake duct kit and driving light package
and lower billet grille insert designed to fit all California Special
Mustangs, Shelby GT-H’s and Shelby GT’s; three-gauge
center dash-pod with custom Shelby gauges; custom floor mats, sequential
tail lamps, authentic racing hood pin kit; billet engine fluid caps
and oil dip stick, and various interior appointments.
“Shelby Automobiles is back in
the Mustang arena full-force,” said Amy Boylan, President
of Shelby Automobiles. “Our components business continues
to grow daily and the Shelby GT-H Convertible Concept starts to
reveal our hand at some of the innovative parts we have coming.”
Available in the first quarter of 2007,
the component upgrades for 2005 and later Mustangs will be sold
through Shelby Automobiles Las Vegas headquarters and a national
dealer network. Interested buyers can contact Shelby Automobiles
