Or you can "Google" for "2007 Shelby GT".

This was just unveiled last week in Las Vegas for the Ford Dealers. This is NOT the GT-500. They are making 10,000. This is in response to the Hertz cars' demand, so Ford dealers can sell their own version, in either black or white, both with silver stripes.

Note that this Mustang variant uses the '07 GT/CS body parts!

It is a nice looking car and a smart move for Shelby and Ford.

Amy, president of Shelby, has stated (via strong hints and confirming rumor, see link below) that a GT-350 that is white with blue stripes is in the works. She's also stated they are working on a ~600 HP car.

Their plan is to offer a few car models and the components in the aftermarket to upgrade as you go. The Shelby GT is the first in this new line of Shelby modified cars. It seems like this is the same business model of Saleen and Roush but with a much tighter/direct relationship with Ford.

Here's a great thread to read when you have time

Amy starts chiming in around page 3. It gives you a very good picture of their plans for the future.

I bet the high horsepower one will be called the GT500KR

How many will be named Elanor?

I am pretty sure that fad is over.

It's nice to see that what the Shelby Co. thinks of the GT/CS and Shelby connection ...

“Thanks! we will have parts for your car to make it a "shelby" and the GT/CS is already close in legacy to a shelby....” - Amy Boylan, President of Shelby Automobiles, LAS VEGAS

Eleanor is a modified, overpriced, piece of junk!

To me, Eleanor will always be a yellow '73 Fastback.
