Shelby GT500 Goes On Summer Tour
June 9th, 2006 by CobraMatt
If you can’t spare $43K plus the unimaginable MSRP mark-up for a Shelby GT500 then don’t worry about it because the most powerful factory built Mustang is going on a 16-city cross country tour this Summer. The Shelby GT500 tour kicks off June 8 through 10 in Tulsa, Okla., at the 32nd Annual Mid-America Ford Performance & Shelby Meet. The new Shelby Mustang will then travel to Charlotte, N.C.; Kansas City, MO; Danville, Va.; Tampa, Fla.; Boston; Fort Worth, Texas and Birmingham, Al., among other locations. It will conclude at the end of September in Las Vegas. Ford is not getting specific about times and dates, saying the “schedule for the tour is subject to change and vehicle event availability.”
According to Ford press release this cross-country tour “is a giant step toward winning the hearts and minds of American drivers”. Also the “Shelby-inspired vehicles have a long history with Ford and the new Shelby GT500 is hitting streets to showcase this ultimate expression of a Bold Move”.
Check back so we can get you some solid information on dates and cities when it is made available.
