Revology 67 GT500 on BAT

[98SVT - was 06GT]

...... How I will get around the Licensing issues of using the Shelby Name is simple, I will be converting real Shelby Mustangs which will be called "Black Hat Edition Shelby's"

I'm certain you will get a cease and desist letter from Neil Cummings (CS licensing). This is a "new" product using not only Shelby's name but his trademark hat. Ford may also jump in since they are the ones who paid CS to use his name on their Mustangs in the first place. What us little guys forget big companies have inhouse lawyers that sit around all day looking to do something that justifies their paycheck. Shelby Licensing is Neil Cummings - a lawyer who has protected Shelby's name for decades.
Basically you will be in direct competition with SA who also makes post title modifications to the Ford Shelby Mustangs. When Ford Marketing came up with the idea to see if again adding the Shelby name to a Mustang to increase sales they approached CS with a "how much per car" deal. CS countered with $1,000 per car. In the end Ford gave him a multi year personal services contract for 12 million (and worked him like a dog for it). Ford saw a great jump in sales over the previous performance Mustangs that were branded SVO, SVT and even Cobra. Even though all were 100% developed inhouse by Ford engineers CS's involvement as face of Ford Performance was the magic that increased sales. They are not going to let you ride on their coat tails with an "edition" of their car that has the sound of being a Ford or SA product.

RE the "Centennial Edition" Shelby - "This Shelby Mustang delivers the level of performance that Carroll expected to have his name on a car. We're so confident that he'd approve of the Carroll Shelby Centennial Edition Mustang that we are throwing in a black Stetson like the one he wore, with each car."

BTW: Your paint scheme is also a duplicate of what SA used on the Centennial Edition. https://www.shelby.com/Vehicles/Carroll-Shelby-Centennial-Edition-Mustang

You might even get sued by the Shelby Foundation since Shelby's Black Hat is an integral part of their campaign and logo. https://www.shelbystore.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SWSHBY4632&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA3ZC6BhBaEiwAeqfvykXxsuTIf2c5uRil3tWBLk8_Dv3Yk3YUupLo6zhGMqO9UcXlfENoeRoCrskQAvD_BwE

Well, if you look at it for what it is and what it's suppose to represent outwardly. I can see the appeal. Modern power and technology and creature comfort environment wrapped in an attractive vintage popular color combination (67 GT500 that is not an original). Dare I say, it's very nice. But NOT $292,500.00 nice.  Half that say in the $120-$140ish given the amount of time and money invested.
eh, to each his own.

It is encouraging in one sense. There are people out there that are willing to spend money on cars. Lately I was concerned with that?

Is it strictly the concept that one is new and the original is old?

I get the part that there are different "generations of people" out there such as baby boomers, generation x, etc.

Is there a new generation that should be titled "generation F'd-up"?

.....Is it strictly the concept that one is new and the original is old? ......

I think a lot of it is old v new. There are those of us who are afraid of not being able to wrench on a new car with all its electronics and a like number of those who don't know how to adjust a set of points or even set the idle on a carb.
Bottom line - car guy = prefers old - non car guy who wants the car he didn't have in his youth will buy the new one.

It was nice while it lasted.  I guess it is as they say " All good things must come to an end".
