The Shelby GT500's have done a full circle thanks to the Legend himself Mr. Carroll Shelby who introduced the 1st Shelby GT500 40 years ago in 1967. And now he is at it again with the 2007 and 2008 models including the Shelby Hertz vehicle and the Shelby GT which is mated with the older GT350's and Hertz cars of the past. Word is there will be a 2009 GT500 model as well and if so these cars will be a perfect match to the 40 year old versions. Pictures below of the 1967-1969 Shelby GT500's and 2007-2008 Shelby GT500's and other Shelby Mustangs.

There will only be 1000 (08 GT500KR's) produced and dealers will enter a lottery to get one to sale. I suspect this car will sell for more $500,000 at Barrett-Jackson. With only 1000 produced, collectors will be lurking. The 2008 GT500KR will be the most powerful Mustang ever built with 540 hp and 510 tq from the factory.
