Default 50th anniversary shelby cars

Just wondered what the Shelby community thought about these, I have to say I think they look rather tasteful.

Only the super snake is appealing to me...not that I wouldn't gladly take one of the other options but I certainly wouldn't purchase one.

the gold is an odd color I will admit. Oddly the biggest thing that stood out to me was the seats

not a big fan of black wheels, but i would take a SS, but in white and gold.

also a GT350 has to be White and Blue, and only HERTZ shelby can be Black and Gold, but its Shelby American choice to do that. Hope those cars will be at Carlisle this year, i think they will be anyway, I heard SA is going to bring 15 cars, some prototype shelby's, so that will be cool

I think a white GTS convertible GT would be an instant collectors item. If I didn't have my SGT I'd buy one... in a few years when they go for discount prices!

I'm not a fan of black wheels either, and not really a fan of white cars.....but, when you see them in person, it's a whole nother story! I was fortunate to get to work the Shelby booth at the NAIAS on opening weekend and while the red/white GT 350 convertible was the belle of the ball, that white GTS w/gold stripes was one of the cleanest, coolest cars around. It is subtle, it's classy, it's awesome! The anniversary SS with 800 hp? How can you not like it? The black/gold is very Hertz-like, and very cool. I'd pick another wheel, if I had $90k to drop on one!
