Ziemlich genau vor einem Jahr hatten wir berichtet, dass die Firma Classic Recreations die Lizenz für den Bau des Shelby Eleanor erworben hat. Nun stellt Classic Recreations offiziell den nagelneuen Shelby GT500CR, auf Basis des 1967 Shelby GT500, in Las Vegas vor. Zu sehen ist allerdings nur der bisherige Prototyp, welcher mit einem 427cui V8 Motor ausgestattet wurde, dieser leistet 545 PS. Dazu gibt es ein frisches Fahrwerk, welches auf dem neusten Stand ist, größere und nagelneue Baer Scheibenbremsen, Karosserieteile aus Fieberglas und eine moderner Lenkung. Auf dem neuesten Stand ist auch die 1967’iger “deluxe” Innenausstattung, welche von Carroll Shelby natürlich wieder mit seiner Unterschrift versehen wurde. 17-Zoll Felgen und ein Tremec Getriebe ist ebenso an Bord. Wem 545 PS nicht ausreichend sind, der kann sich auch die Venom Variante bestellen, diese wird dank Kompressor mit 780 PS ausgeliefert. Preislich geht es beim GT500CR bei 119.000 Dollar, für das Einsteigermodell, los. In der Venomvariante kostet es er dann allerdings stolze 199.000 Dollar!

SHELBY GT500CR PROTOTYPE MAKES FIRST APPEARANCE IN VEGAS

Classic Recreations 1967 G.T.500CR makes first public appearance in Las Vegas the same weekend as the NASCAR Shelby American Race

Yukon, Okla. (Feb 25th, 2010) – Less than four months after custom coachbuilder Classic Recreations announced the Officially-Licensed 1967 Shelby G.T.500CR continuation car program at the 2009 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the first prototype made its debut in the same city but with a very different setting.

Details of the reborn supercar have been a closely guarded secret, but on February 25th, 2010, the first GT500CR prototype was photographed near the Shelby American facility in Las Vegas, prior to an all-Shelby weekend where car owners and NASCAR fans gathered to celebrate the legendary mark during the NASCAR Shelby American GT350 stock car race.

The G.T.500CR is the first official 1967 Shelby Mustang continuation car ever built, and each hand-built vehicle features a 427 cubic inch (7.0L) engine, model specific bodywork, custom paint and hand-stitched upholstery.
Every has an official Shelby serial number, badges and will be included in the Shelby World Registry. The prototype that appeared in Las Vegas is the 545 horsepower Performance Model, featuring a fuel injected, naturally aspirated engine, modern coil-over suspension with rack-and-pinion steering and more.
