Ford, Shelby link again for performance parts
By Mark Rechtin
Automotive News / August 18, 2003
MONTERREY, Calif. -- Ford Motor Co. will reunite with racing legend Carroll Shelby to create a line of performance parts for some Ford models.
Ford did not specify which models, but Chris Theodore, vice president of advanced product creation, says the next Mustang and the GT supercar are likely candidates.
Having seen other automakers dilute the Shelby brand, Theodore cautions, "You won't get a Shelby edition Taurus."

If they offer a 5.0 liter agian, they could call it the Shelby GT 500, I'd order it in silver w/blue accents, and name her Eleanor
