GT 500E Convertible - More

| There are challenges when
building a convertible with mega horsepower and torque. In the G.T.500E
hierarchy there is the base model powered by a 302, stroked to a 306.
Next is the Performance model, packing the 351-Windsor, bored out
to a 408. Then there is the 725HP 427 Super Snake. |
In general convertibles
due to their structure, have extra bracing from the factory. With
475+ horsepower, our first convertible needed even more rigidity.
The roll bar stiffens the unit body construction. Our padded 4-point
roll bar is real and functional for safety purposes, whereas the original
‘500’ roll bars were a cosmetic feature and nonfunctional.
In addition, special style frame connectors (X-brace) are installed.
The convertible uses a TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission which is
used instead of the standard 6-speed to allow for the body reinforcement.
The top is the same cloth that is used on some of the most expensive
luxury cars in the world. It’s fitted with a glass backlite.
All tops are electric whereas the OEM offered both electric and manual. |
| Our first convertible featured
a custom blue interior upgrade. This is the first car that has not
had a black interior. Additional colors are available. |
| Each car comes with a high
performance Ford engine, four wheel Baer disc brakes, Unique Products
independent front suspension with rack & pinion, Griffin radiator,
Old Air Products air conditioning system, JBA headers and other top
components. |
| Many performance and cosmetic
upgrades are available. Our most popular upgrade is the advanced rear
coil over suspension which dramatically increases stability and body
rigidity while improving negative camber. The bottom line is the front
tire stays flat on the road when cornering. |
| |
| The result is a G.T.500E
with Shelby performance and the styling and classic good looks of
a drop top. |
