At least you’re not stuck with a crappy “C” code 67 like me! Just kidding. Like previously stated, I think a fully restored original GT would not only be worth more but also more respected than another Shelby Clone…..even though the Shelby Clone would look much much nicer. Tough choice you have to make.

Thanks for all the input. Assuming I end up selling the shelby parts. Anyone know a good site to find out their value? Too bad I sold a c code fastback last year! Should have thought ahead and kept that for a clone.

I'm leaning towards the GTA. I might have to go with another ford exterior color. The original gold just doesn't look that good. I think a good blue would show of the saddle interior better.

I agree with the rest keep the GTA. 67 was the only year for the GTA you have something special.

Damn, I have never seen a GT500E in Alaska. I did hear of someone having one in Anchorage though. I think they are not as good looking as the real deal. No offense to GT500E owners, just my opinion. I don't care for the rocker/exhaust and the oversized brake cooler. I do like the front end though.

I love the lines of the mustang when you make a gt500e you change the lines thats why i don't like it.
