What happened to the $39,999 pricetag??? Even that was a big enough STRETCH - but MID-40s? I think Ford can kiss my ass on that one. I happen to be able to buy one at MSRP, but that's just too much to pay for what will probably be a 20,000+ production run car.
Ask any original Shelby owner about what makes a true Shelby...most of them JOKE about the "sell-out" and the laughter even includes the GT500E cars that shelby slapped his name on.
Don't get me wrong, I love this car - I just have my doubts on the future value of it, which is the ONLY thing that can can justify such a high price. I planned on getting one from the beginning, but slowly, the price started inching up and features I liked on the prototype started disappearing. Like others have pointed out, there have been other specialty mustangs with MUCH lower production number that still have not held their original value. I guess I'll just continue to build my 67.
