Shelby GT350 Returns Based on 2011 5.0-Liter Mustang GT

Administrator · January 19th, 2010, 01:52 PM

Carroll Shelby's own tuning company Shelby American has announced the return of the GT350 model, debuting it at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale 45 years after the original GT350 was released.

Based on the new 2011 Mustang GT, the GT350 gets a Ford Racing supercharged mated to the stock car's 5.0-liter V8 to make roughly 500-hp – which shouldn't be hard considering the stock motor already makes 412-hp. The engine also gets some bling with Blue Shelby GT350 valve covers and billet caps.

In addition, the GT350 conversion includes a complete aero kit with a dual central-exit exhaust system, 19-inch Cragar wheels, Goodyear tires and a Baer six-piston front brake setup up front. Several changes have been made to the suspension with Ford Racing springs, struts, sway bars and adjustable camber/caster plates.

"In 1964, Ford Motor Company asked Shelby American to turn their secretary's car into a race winner to help them sell Mustangs," said Carroll Shelby, founder of Shelby American. "Our Shelby GT350 ruled its class at the track and was feared by GM and Chrysler owners on the street. Enthusiasts have anticipated the GT350's return since it went out of production in 1970. Now my band of hot rodders has created a car worthy of the name."

All GT350 conversions are performed at Shelby American's facility in Las Vegas for a price of $33,995 (plus the cost of the car). Yikes!

Nice looking car I wonder what the coast will be.

33K on top of the cost of the 5.0 you buy so all together 60-70K.

Way too much money for what you get.
A base GT with rear seat delete, race seats, roll bar, suspension/brake upgrade,along with a tweaked N/A 450 HP 5.0 engine setup, would have better represented the original 1965 GT-350,and at a more affordable cost.
But now days,the Shelby stuff is all about bling and $$$.
