I believe so. I asked the sender for more details on the location. He said it had manufacturer plates on it and I don't think he has any reason to lie about that. I'll follow up here if I get more location info.
Not sure if the brakes are small or not, but the lack of dive planes and winglets could easily be because this is a prototype. They often have missing or incorrect parts on them. Are there people putting full GT500 front ends and hoods on their GTs to make clones? I don't follow this forum closely enough to know.
Plenty of people doing the fake aftermarket GT500 bumpers but I have not seen anyone doing a legit conversion (with fenders and hood) like the car above has. (If it’s not a GT500)
Dont think anyone has done a full blown GT500 conversion yet with OEM Parts. The Front of the car has the 2015-2017/GT350/GT500 Headlights. The Rear Bumper is definitely a 2018+ Bumper because the license plate area is shaped differently on the 2018+ bumper compared to the 15-17 Bumper. The Hood definitely has the GT500 hood pins on it, the aftermarket GT500 hoods i seen do not have those hood pins.
The Rear Bumper is definitely a 2018+ Bumper, since the Rear Diffuser and License Plate area is shaped differently compared to a 2015-2017 MustangSo the same person (Trev9667 on YouTube) saw it at the same intersection today in Dearborn Michigan. Looking closer he realized it’s a dealer plate, as you can see, not a manufacturer plate. So this could just be a one-off, but he tried asking the driver about it and said the guy didn’t seem to know anything about the car or at least acted that way. If it’s a knock off, they even went to the trouble of putting the newer tail lights on, or put old headlights on a 2018+. It’s a mystery to me but the brakes do seem too small.
No way a real man is driving that car around with the top down, cruising, and hasn't a clue about what he's driving. Or he's a politician that stumbled upon the car after a long day on the job.
Nobody who is serious about tracking a car is going to be out there in a vert although the S550 with magnaride like my pp 18 with gt350 springs is worlds better than any of the S197 verts....still that's why I said leave most of the upgraded track stuff off. A great looking, collectible, stanced out badass that breaks necks on the boulevard and is still a straight line monster ? Yeah, would certainly own one over a C8 or or pretty much anything else under $100K....
most track don t allow convertible or you need to have a real roll cage. A convertible will be heavier. But a shelby convertible has something special compare to regular GT and you won t see a lot of them. Plus Shelby keep a good value Over the years.
