When you hear the word Shelby in regard to the automotive industry, either one of two words is probably the first thing to pop into your mind: Mustang or Cobra. Originally founded in 1962 by Carroll Shelby, the automaker has been building modified versions of iconic, high-performance vehicles for decades. The two most iconic vehicles that they remodeled were the AC Cobra, which was simply sold in America as the Shelby Cobra, and the Ford Mustang.
Names like the Shelby GT350, GT500 and GLHS probably stick out the most as iconic vehicles that Shelby built back in the day, but they’re still around today. Now, Ford employs Shelby to simply build special edition versions of their vehicles that they then market and sell themselves. Vehicles like the 2018 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 and the upcoming Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. See, there are those names we said probably stick out.
