A friend was at the Monterey Historics races at Laguna Seca last weekend and says he saw a pre-production SVT Shelby GT 500 convertible on display. He was told several things that are contrary to all that I've read to date. They said the coupe would be able to be ordered in Oct. for Jan. '06 delivery, the convertible version would be later in the year, and he swears the convertible on display had independent rear suspension. Does anyone know if any, all, or none of this is accurate??
