Carroll Shelby’s Personal Shelby GT500 Is For Sale

It’s hardly surprising that our readers want to share their memories of the Ford Mustang — 50 years is a long time for an automotive nameplate to endure, and the model’s upcoming 50th anniversary is as good excuse as any to look back on the experiences that have made the car an enthusiast hit.

Take William Drew, who had a close encounter with pony car history when he saw the Mustang I concept, plus a rare Ghia-bodied Shelby Cobra concept, at an auto dealer in Dallas in 1970. His slides (taken with a Yashica camera, he notes) show the unusual cars in the nice, bright colors of Kodachrome.

Ford certainly doesn’t seem to be trying to conceal much with the design of the new Mustang GT350 replacement considering it’s been spotted again roaring through LA with a pretty light disguise.

But then again, we suspect that the biggest surprise for the higher performance model will come under the hood as it should.

From the December 2013 Issue of Car and Driver

In a nation obsessed with the right now, few things have held up over the past 50 years as well as the Ford ­Mustang. The first pony car debuted at the 1964 New York World’s Fair and instantly became a tent pole of Americana. Before the model officially turns 50 on April 17, 2014, Ford will celebrate its lasting ­contribution to the postwar-boom culture with a brand-new, much anticipated Mustang.

But the times, they are a changin’ (yep, a song also released in 1964). Ford’s American icon continues to gain offshore admirers. The Blue Oval plans to sell the next Mustang globally, and to appease overseas buyers, the car will need to be lighter and more efficient. But that’s not to say that traditional fans will be disappointed.
