One Mustang, One Color: 2008 Shelby GT Convertible Revealed

The specialty numbers coming from Carroll Shelby and Ford don’t seem to stop. The latest go-fast Mustang from the pair is the 2008 Shelby GT convertible that was officially announced this morning. It features the same guts as the current Shelby GT (not the GT500), producing 319 hp. The convertible also sports a solid roll bar and comes in one color: the Vista Blue scheme shown here with silver stripes.

The other news is that the Shelby GT coupes will also be available in only this color combination. The current black and white schemes were limited to the 2007 models. There were less than 6,000 2007 models built, and the 2008s will be even more limited, with a planned production of approximately 2,300. They are slated to go on sale in the fall. Prices will be announced closer to the on-sale date, but expect coupe prices to remain similar to last year’s $36,970 figure.
