Shelby
Styling
Like its
2006
Shelby
GT-H
Mustang
coupe,
the 2007
convertible
will be
instantly
recognizable.
Clad in
black
exterior
paint
set off
with
gold “Le
Mans”
dual
racing
stripes
and
“Shelby
GT-H”
rocker
stripes,
each
will
wear a
Hertz
Edition
emblem
on the
front
fenders
and
feature
Hertz
Shelby
GT-H
sill
plates.
A
numbered
dash
badge
with
Carroll
Shelby’s
signature
will be
inside
the
cockpit.
The
Shelby
GT-H
Mustang
convertible
will be
fitted
with a
unique
hood
with
pins and
a
brushed
aluminum
grille
with
running
horse
emblem.
A unique
front
fascia
with
integrated
lower
grille,
as well
as a set
of body
side
scoops
will be
incorporated.
The
GT-H’s
18-inch
black
aluminum
wheels
will be
shod
with
P235/55ZR18
performance
rubber.
To give
the car
additional
stiffness,
a
stylish
light
bar and
supplemental
bracing
will
also be
added to
the
convertible.
Thundering
Ponies
Ford
Racing
Performance
Group’s
Power
Pack
(FR1)
will
kick up
the 4.6L
V-8/Five-speed
automatic
transmission
powertrain
to 319
horsepower.
To put
that
extra
power to
the
ground,
the Ford
Shelby
GT-H
will
feature
the Ford
Racing
Handling
Pack
(FR3)
including
special-tuned
dampers,
lowering
springs,
sway
bars and
a strut
tower
brace –
plus a
3.55:1
ratio
rear
axle
assembly
for
extra
off-the-line
acceleration.
“Any
Mustang
touched
by
Carroll
Shelby
has a
head
start on
becoming
a
legend,
and a
highly
desirable
collectible,
but
they're
all
designed
to be
seen,
heard
and
driven
hard”
said
Cisco
Codina,
group
vice
president,
Ford
North
America
Marketing,
Sales
and
Service.
“That's
why
demand
is so
high in
our
showrooms,
and on
the
auction
block.”
With
total
production
expected
to
number
only 500
units
exclusively
for
Hertz
rental
fleets,
this
special-edition
Shelby
GT-H
Mustang
convertible
will
give
Hertz
customers
a truly
exclusive
driving
experience.
