This is definately one vehicle I thought I would never see in my lifetime, a true zero emmisions Ford Mustang with 0-60 mph times under 4 seconds.  Well this past weekend in San Diego at the 34th Annual Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach's "Green Power Prix-View" both the Tjaarda EVX Mustang and HST's Shelby Cobra made thier debut.  HST International and Tjaarda Design have partnered to bring you two zero emmisions electric vehicles that feature 300-horsepower electric motors using lithium iron phosphate battery packs developed by K2 Energy Solutions. According to HST the Tjaarda EVX Mustang is designed to be a daily driven Mustang that will race from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 120 mph.  Range for the Mustang is 110 miles with an estimated operating cost per mile to be 3 cents, definately alot cheaper then $3 gas.  Price for the EVX Mustang starts at $80,000. The HST Shelby Cobra is EVX will do 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 150 mph rivaling some of the top sports cars in the world.  Range for this vehicle is said to 120 miles with estimated operating cost per mile to be 3 cents.  Price for the Shelby Cobra starts at $125,000. To keep these babies going they require 3.5 hours of recharging via 220V outlet or 8 hours via a 110V outlet. HST International is currently taking orders for both vehicles. Source: AutoBlogGreen.com Press Release: HST International - Tjaarda Design Alliance Changes Face of Electric Cars 'Electric Muscle(TM)' on display at Long Beach 'Green Power Prix-View' SAN DIEGO, APRIL 16 /PRNewswire/ -- HST International has announced a partnership with Tjaarda Design that will change the face of electric cars. The designs that will define the next generation of "Electric Muscle(TM)", the Tjaarda EVX Mustang and HST Shelby Cobra EVX, will premiere at the 34th Annual Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach's "Green Power Prix-View" on April 18-20. The Mustang EVX and HST Shelby Cobra EVX prove that electric cars can be environmentally friendly as well as winners on the track and in the looks department. While designed for different purposes, both cars are true zero emission vehicles and feature 300-horsepower electric motors using lithium iron phosphate battery packs developed by K2 Energy Solutions. With 1000 ft/lbs of torque @ 0 rpm, they have the capability to do 0-60 in less than four seconds and a range of over 100 miles. "We're excited to be bringing these vehicles to market because they're head turners and so much fun to drive," says Tod Boretto, president of HST International. "But more than that, this is a long-term initiative and a unique opportunity on several levels. We do not believe any other manufacturer is bringing together this level of design, performance and green technology today." The Tjaarda EVX Mustang is designed to be driven daily -- which, with its ability to do 0-60 in 3.9 seconds is no hardship. With a top speed of 120 mph and a range of 110 miles between charges, its estimated operating cost is 3 cents/mile. The exterior is a modern version of a muscle car era classic Mustang, but under the hood it's a green dream. The HST Shelby Cobra EVX has the capability to run 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, a top speed of 150 mph and a range of 120 miles, depending on driving habits. With on-board recharging, it requires 3 1/2 hours/220V and 8 hours/110V. Estimated operational cost is 3 cents/mile. "Tom Tjaarda's place in automotive design history -- from the Ferrari 365 GT California Spider to the Fiat 124 Spyder -- will ensure that these cars continue to drop jaws for their looks as well as their performance," adds Boretto. The Tjaarda EVX Mustang starts at $80,000 and the Cobra at $125,000, with a range of options available for both vehicles. They will be on display in booth #2104 at the Green Power Prix-View from April 18-20, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday. The Tjaarda EVX Mustang and HST Shelby Cobra EVX will next be featured at NBC's World Series of Golf in May. San Diego-based HST International uses high-technology engineering and manufacturing to address specialized needs in the automotive industry. Through its alliance partnerships with K2 Energy, Torino International and Tjaarda Design, HST International develops products that achieve the highest levels of quality, innovation and performance.

The GT500KR also features racing stripes over the glass roof which had to be etched directly on the glass.

To make the one-of-one Ebony black GT500KR even more rare it will feature the same full glass roof that is being offered as an option on the 2009 Mustang V6 & GT models. The GT500KR also features racing stripes over the glass roof which had to be etched directly on the glass. It's definately a great marketing ploy along with good business sense to include the glass roof into the Shelby GT500KR Mustang with all the viewers on Speed watching. The exposure at Barrett-Jackson and on the Speed channel can only help slumping sales of the Mustang. All proceeds from the auction will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. After the jump I have included photos and the press release. Press Release: A one-of-a-kind 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR will go on the block at this year's Barrett-Jackson auction: the only "King of the Road" model to feature a full glass roof. Continuing a Ford and Shelby tradition of charitable giving, proceeds from the auction will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). "Barrett-Jackson is an ideal venue to launch and sell Ford's premier models," said Robert Parker, Ford car marketing manager. "It's the ultimate platform for selling the world's most remarkable cars, and we've created a unique GT500KR just for the occasion." Barrett-Jackson will feature an unprecedented stable of muscle cars, led by a vintage Mustang from each year in which performance legend Carroll Shelby and Ford Motor Company produced the street-ripping 1960s classics. The highlight of the crop will be Mr. Shelby's personal 1969 GT500 convertible, followed by a pristine 1967 GT500 originally gifted by Carroll to his son, Mike Shelby. Muscle car enthusiasts are sure to tune in on SPEED TV this Saturday to watch Ford continue to lead the muscle car wars. Shelby GT500KR with Glass Roof The 540-horsepower Shelby GT500KR on the block at Barrett-Jackson is a unique rendition of the most powerful factory-built Mustang ever. Shelby GT500KR production began in Las Vegas on Jan. 11, Carroll Shelby's 85th birthday. The one-of-one ebony black GT500KR up for auction will feature the same full glass roof that is being offered as an option on the 2009 V-6 Mustang and Mustang GT models only. The glass roof provides a third roof option for customers and responds to their growing desire for more natural light. The glass is tinted, which reduces both infrared rays and vehicle cool down time by 50 percent. Production of large sunroofs has increased nearly 200 percent in North America since 2003, according to Just-autos.com. While the Shelby GT500KR coupe features racing stripes over the roof, the unique glass roof on the auction model features stripes etched directly into the glass. "Barrett-Jackson will be a rare opportunity for one lucky bidder to own a Shelby GT500KR with a glass roof, a car no one else can even buy," said Carroll Shelby. "It's been too long, but I'm very excited to have the 'King of the Road' back." "Only Ford Motor Company and Shelby American have sold more genuine Ford-powered Shelby vehicles than the Barrett-Jackson auction over the past 36 years," said Craig Jackson, Chairman/CEO of the Barrett-Jackson Auction Co. "I'm proud that Ford and Carroll Shelby chose to sell a one-of-a-kind 2008 Shelby GT500KR coupe at our auction, where only the finest, authentic Shelby vehicles are offered to the public." Patrick Dempsey's Ford Mustang FR500C on the Block Saturday In another exciting development, Ford Racing and Patrick Dempsey, the star of ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," also will auction the actor's No. 156 2005 Ford Mustang FR500C. Dempsey drove the car in the 2007 Grand-Am KONI Challenge series for Hyper Sport Racing, a team he co-owns. Since its debut in 2005, the Mustang FR500C has earned seven poles, 10 wins, 92 top ten finishes and 25 podium appearances. Featuring a Ford Racing 5.0-liter Cammer R50 engine, it continues to be the road racing car of choice. Dempsey will be on stage as bidders vie for this unique race Mustang. The winning bidder also will also receive a helmet, gloves, shoes, hero card and DVD box set of the third season of "Grey's Anatomy" signed by Dempsey. In addition, the winner will enjoy a track day with Hyper Sport Racing and a day for two at the Ford Racing High Performance Driving School at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, UT. Ford Exhibit Celebrates Speed Building on a valued partnership, Ford plans to remain a key automotive sponsor of The Barrett-Jackson Auction series as a third venue is added in Las Vegas this October. As part of this sponsorship, Ford will bring interactive elements to Barrett-Jackson, including a drifting track, racing simulators and a dyno-simulated drag racing display. This year, Ford will add a life-size Mustang collector's display which showcases a 'Steed for Every Need,' along with a new "Built Ford Tough" tent that houses Ford's feature vehicles. Consumers also can look forward to a few surprises. "We have found that experiential elements allow us to create a lot of memories for our current and future customers," said Parker. Ford, Barrett-Jackson and Shelby: $1.7 Million Raised for Charity During the past three years, Ford and Carroll Shelby have raised more than $1.7 million dollars for charity. Last year, the first 2007 Shelby GT Mustang was auctioned off at a winning big of $600,000. In 2006, an early production 2007 Shelby GT500 also sold for $600,000. Read More

*Carroll Shelby Fires Back With Response To His Foundation*

His repsonse came via a letter to the publisher of Autoweek which can be read at the end of this article.

Yet in each of those years less than 1 percent of those assets were given out as charitable grants, a level that charity professionals say is embarrassingly low.  Although this might seem low due to some standards they are within the law as most of the funds come from public donations.  Law or not this seems a little shaky given the amount of money that comes in, when I think of a non-profit organization I believe most of the money less the expenses that come in go out to whatever the organization represents.  This foundation may be within the law but they are not conducting their operations with any charity in mind. Read the entire article after the jump and make your own assumptions... Article:  A watchdog group formed by the Better Business Bureau says charitable grants should account for at least 65% of a charitable organization's total expenses. Here's how the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation stacks up for 2002-05.     TOTAL EXPENSES GRANTS % 2002 $164,178 $10,200 6.2 2003 $399,618 $17,299 4.3 2004 $308,941 $40,300 13 2005 $286,375 $24,944 8.7 Source: Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation tax returns LOS ANGELES -- As Carroll Shelby lay in Cedars Sinai hospital here in 1990, awaiting a heart transplant, he was horrified by the number of children around him who desperately needed lifesaving organs. "Two boys on either side of me passed away because they did not receive a transplant in time," the legendary car guy has said. As he grieved for the children, Shelby prayed - promising that if he received a heart and survived he would do something to help other kids. He got the transplant and in 1991 formed the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation. Its mission: help pay medical expenses for families with children in need of organ and tissue transplants or suffering from acute cardiac disorders. It also gives money to organizations researching coronary disease and organ transplants. Among other things, the foundation has raised funds through the sale of memorabilia signed by Shelby and, lately, the auctioning of classic Ford cars. But in recent years, Shelby's charity in Gardena, Calif., has picked up a reputation for giving out only a tiny fraction of the money that it takes in. Indeed, the reputation seems well-deserved. A review of the foundation's tax documents shows that from 2002 through 2005, its net assets grew from $1.6 million to $2.9 million. Yet in each of those years less than 1 percent of assets was given out as grants - a level that charity professionals say is embarrassingly low. Not a foundation guy Shelby, 84, is a world-class car guy. As a race car driver in the 1950s, he broke land speed records at Bonneville for Austin Healey and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He later designed cars and in the 1960s conceived the Shelby Cobra sports car and later the Shelby Mustangs he built for Ford. But it seems he is far from the world's best foundation chief. He has run his public charity on the fly with just his closest business associates and hasn't been putting the money to its intended use. Shelby and his wife, Cleo, started the foundation, tried to make the decisions themselves - and then appear to have neglected it. But the foundation's administrators say they have begun to professionalize the operation. No one has accused Shelby or the foundation staff of misappropriating money. But Shelby's administrators admit that the organization has been run too loosely and hasn't doled out enough funds. In 2005, the latest year for which tax returns are available, the foundation took in $594,062 in contributions and gave out only $24,944 in grants. More than half of that money went to two charities: the National Institute of Transplantation, which received $10,000, and St. Vincent Meals on Wheels, which received $5,000. Recently, much larger sums have started to roll in - mainly because of a new partnership with Ford Motor Co. Since 2006, Ford has donated four vehicles that have brought in about $1.76 million from auctions and raffle sales. Yet the foundation still isn't doing much with the proceeds. Shelby declined to be interviewed. But John Luft, president of Carroll Shelby Licensing Inc., says the problems are being addressed. He insists that Jenni Shreeves, the foundation's executive director since 2004, and new corporate partner Ford Motor Co. are making much-needed improvements. 5% rule Nonprofit organizations endowed by private individuals or corporations are required to give at least 5 percent of their total assets to charities annually, says Kelly Simone, a lawyer with the Council on Foundations in Washington. The law is intended to prevent parking otherwise taxable funds in nonprofits. The Shelby foundation has donated far less than 5 percent, although it is not bound by the same regulations. Shelby's charity avoids the 5 percent rule because it gets all its funds from public donations. Shelby has not put his own money into the foundation. The foundation also has fallen far short of voluntary standards set by the BBB Wise Giving Alliance, an Arlington, Va., organization that helps donors make informed judgments about charities. The alliance says that at least 65 percent of an organization's total expenses should go for grants. In the case of the Shelby foundation, grants represented no more than 13 percent of expenses in any of the four years for which tax documents were reviewed. Alliance COO Bennett Weiner said the expenses don't appear to be out of line; the organization just isn't spending much of what it takes in. Weiner says at least two-thirds of all charitable organizations adhere to the alliance's entire list of 20 standards. Among the guidelines is having at least a five-member board of directors. Shelby's board has had only three members - Shelby, his wife and Neil Cummings, general counsel for Shelby Automobiles Inc. The board recently expanded to five members - adding Luft, Shelby's licensing chief, and Amy Boylan, president of Shelby Automobiles. Luft said the foundation plans to comply with another alliance guideline: scheduling regular deliberations on grant allocations. Starting this month, he said, twice-a-year meetings will be held to decide where proceeds will be donated. In addition, the foundation retained Wells Fargo Bank to help set up an endowment fund and better manage its money. "Prior to bringing Jenni on, the foundation had no direction," said Luft, referring to Shreeves, the executive director. "There was no infrastructure. It was Carroll's little foundation, and we had a modest amount to give out." Last year, Shreeves, a full-time employee, launched the group's first national fund-raising campaign when it raffled off a vintage Cobra. The result: the sale of $485,000 in raffle tickets - almost as much as the nonprofit took in through all of 2005. This year, the foundation is raffling a Ford Shelby GT500 donated by Ford. Before Ford began donating cars, almost half of the foundation's revenue came from individuals who contributed $100 to $200 in exchange for Shelby-autographed memorabilia. "The corporate sponsorship from Ford has taken us way up," said Luft, 51, a former Walt Disney and Hilton executive. Now, he said, the charity has a responsibility to Ford to account for how the proceeds are used. Together again After a nearly 30-year separation, Ford and Carroll Shelby went back into business together in 2005. Ford hired Shelby to help with development of a Mustang variant that went on sale last summer as the Ford Shelby GT500. Ford's sponsorship of the Shelby charity was a natural outgrowth of the new collaboration. Ford spokeswoman Whitney Drake says the cooperation with Shelby's foundation is a good fit. "Carroll is the oldest double-organ recipient," Drake said. Shelby received the heart transplant and later a kidney from his son, Mike, in 1996. "If he hadn't benefited from his transplants, he wouldn't be with us today to help us collaborate on new products. This is another way for us to give back." So far in 2007, the foundation has received $725,000 in cash through the auction of two Ford-donated Shelby GTs. Ford sold them at a Barrett-Jackson auction and then turned the proceeds over to the foundation. The charity expects to reap at least $500,000 from raffle tickets it is selling for the donated 2007 Ford Shelby GT500. The winner will be announced Aug. 18. "Only since our partnership with Ford have we had this kind of money," Luft said. "This is a learning curve. So you may see a low percent of money going out now so we can reach our endowment goal. Our bank (Wells Fargo) is helping us decide that (goal). None of us are schooled or trained in that area. "Before, Carroll and Cleo would decide randomly" who would get the money, Luft said. "Carroll would basically give it to organizations that he knew, but he really was committed to giving back." Small staff According to tax documents, Shreeves earned $68,618 in 2005 as the foundation's only full-time employee. The staff now consists of three full-timers - Shreeves, her assistant and a project director who oversees the shipping of the autographed memorabilia. The foundation's directors receive no compensation. Shreeves, a 34-year-old public relations specialist, has a nephew who had open heart surgery at birth. Now she is working with outreach groups such as the Children's Organ Transplant Association to help identify qualified grant recipients. Most of the foundation's grants have been made to organizations in Los Angeles such as the National Institute of Transplantation, which does research on organ transplants, trains surgeons and conducts community and patient education programs. The institute was awarded three grants from 2002 through 2005 totaling $25,000. On June 22, the foundation announced its first grant this year: a $10,000 donation to the Children's Medical Center in Dallas for the care of an 18-month-old girl born with a heart defect. But with its new board of directors meeting this month for the first time, Luft said, the Shelby foundation is ready to join "the major leagues." "Everything being done today is to make sure the foundation lives beyond Carroll," he said. "So we're looking at how we endow. Someday we won't have the autograph program. So this is the team that may effectively take the foundation over after Carroll is gone." FALLING SHORT A partnership with Ford Motor Co. has boosted the revenues of the Carroll Shelby Children’s Foundation. Donations of Ford cars have reaped big bucks at Barrett-Jackson auctions.    2006: 2005 Ford GT coupe, auctioned for $530,000 in proceeds 2007: 2007 Ford Shelby GT, auctioned for $600,000 in proceeds 2007: 2007 Ford Shelby GT-H, auctioned for $125,000 in proceeds 2007: 2007 Ford Shelby GT500, raffled for an estimated $500,000 in proceeds (Raffle to be held Aug. 18, 2007)  ********************************** Carroll Shelby's Response To The Publisher of AutoWeek.com July 23, 2007 Mr. K.C. Crain Jr. Publisher AutoWeek K.C., I was surprised by Kathy Jackson's misinformed article about the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation. Ms. Jackson did not contact me personally to request an interview and I just learned that an executive at Shelby Licensing failed to pass her request for comment to me. I've always been proud to talk about the Foundation. A conversation with me would have resolved any concerns and allowed me to explain my long term goals. Some who read this article might think that the Foundation is not running on all cylinders. Nothing could be further from the truth. We’ve throttled back a bit on our giving because we are committed to create a perpetual endowment. It’s routine for non-profit organizations to build an endowment that ensures the group can continue its mission in the future. At 84 years old, you can understand why I’m concerned with this issue. I want the Foundation to do great work years after I’m not around. Though we’ve experienced a few growing pains, I’d like to point out a few important items: • I hired Jenni Shreeves, a very capable Foundation director and very recently expanded the board to help us reach our endowment goals; they are helping me make donation decisions that won’t risk the Foundation’s future financial security. • I’ve been searching for another person from outside the auto industry with expertise in this area to join the board of directors and provide additional expertise, as well as different perspective. • Prior to working with Ford Motor Company beginning in 2006, I personally raised almost all of the funds for the Foundation by donating my personal cars and signing autographs. Sooner or later, I will run out of cars and the ability to sign autographs. Working with Ford has allowed us to take that next step and build a more diverse donor base for the Foundation. • With the sudden inflow of significant money over the past 18 months, we tapped Wells Fargo to analyze our strategic plan and help us manage these funds. It is prudent stewardship to put on the brakes instead of throwing around money like a drunken lottery winner. We expect to announce their findings shortly. • We’re not “skimping on the giving.” While the Foundation will certainly continue to donate money to deserving kids and groups, everyone on the board is first committed to building the endowment so we don’t run out of money once I can’t sign autographs to raise funds. We won’t toss out our long-term strategic plan for a short-term benefit because of misinterpreted information discussed during an interview with a Shelby executive. What began as an effort to help kids has become much larger than I ever imagined thanks to many wonderful people, including partners such as Ford. While our fundraising was once confined to small donations, they have dramatically accelerated our efforts. We are much closer to making more substantial and more frequent donations for years to come. The team is meeting our challenges head-on while building a world class organization. I invite Ms. Jackson to talk to me anytime. I am sure she, and Automotive News readers, will be impressed. Sincerely, Carroll Shelby Read More
