Whoops, my bad....I was looking at the car in your signature, not the link you posted. The one in the link looks legit.

The link you posted is for the ford factory sticker before it was converted, so shelby added their own sticker after it was converted, but won't show up on ford's database..


Also, just found out the car sold within hours according to a shelby forum, as the dealership didn't realize what exactly it was, and was one of 148 Automatic Coupes (130 Vista Blue Auomatic Coupes). Someone in fact did get a amazing deal!!
Thats blue? They are crappy pics. It looks silver to me.

GT500's (and I think GT-350's) are manual only. The early Shelby GT and the newer GTS variants can have automatics.

I like the Shelby gt's. if one was in my price range 4 years ago I would own one. It's got mods you would probably already do on your own now. Lowered, CAI, got the nicer CS bumpers.i had to add that stuff to my GT, and i still dont have the CS bumpers.you'd already be ahead of the game, A great starting point if you plan to take it further with mods. Make them an offer if its what you want. Not everyone has to have the latest and greatest.

Shelby GTs were just a good way for Ford to charge several thousand more for a premium GT CS. 20K is a little high on the mark as most 08 GTs are selling below 20K and that's for premiums.

Anyone notice how the SHELBY lettering on the trunk is all to one side
and not evenly spaced out across the whole trunk lid?
I have never ever seen a Shelby like that...
Those were not put on at Shelby Automotive in Las Vegas Nevada.

Of course you cant see faux gas cap on the trunk lid closely.
It is probably a OEM GT cap.

The dealer must be looking at blue book for a plain ol 08 GT
and priced it accordingly.

As far as I know, ALL (07-09) Shelbys had the lettering offset to the driver side from factory. They didn't start centering/spacing the letters out until 2010+.
