    *****see below*****

    From the black 18-inch wheels to the Shelby Cobra roadster hood scoop, the car is mean. The engine is upgraded with a Ford Racing package to pump out 319 horsepower and 330 lb.-ft. of torque through a high-flow exhaust system with X-pipe crossover. The Shelby GT comes standard with a five-speed manual transmission featuring a Hurst short-throw shifter; a five-speed automatic transmission is optional. The package includes a Ford Racing Handling Pack with special-tuned dampers, unique sway bars and a 3.55:1 ratio rear axle assembly. Overall ride height was dropped and a front strut-tower brace added.

    “The Shelby GT was designed to deliver an exhilarating driving experience,” said Amy Boylan, President of Shelby Automobiles. “In addition to the ‘go faster goodies,’ each will receive special badges and equipment, as well as a photo of one of these cars signed by Carroll.”

    Unique features of the Barrett-Jackson edition will include:
    •Black exterior with “Barrett-Jackson Red” LeMans Hood and Side Stripes
    •Barrett Jackson Edition Door Sill Plates
    •Black interior with the Shelby GT serial number plate
    •Special Gas Cap Insert
    •Autographed photo of Carroll Shelby, Craig Jackson, Amy Boylan and Steve Davis

    Low miles...sounds like a nice Shelby GT. Is it a convertible?
