Who around here can manage two power adders(NOS and Vortech), a DVD, 8 disc CD Changer and the damn steering wheel? These are a few of the stats on the new GT500E as listed from the current Mustang Monthly. How insane.
Wait a second, this article shows that these are manufactured from a Unique Performance company out of Irving, TX. Does this company have the licenses to do this? Does it need licensing? I has Carroll Shelby's name all over it.

So, what's the "scam"? They're not misrepresenting anything. They've got the proper licensing. Instead of harvesting any original Shelby Mustangs to produce their product they're resurrecting a lot of classic Stangs that would otherwise sit and rot.

1998 GT Coupe 5-spd. Bright Atlantic Blue K&N FIPK, Tri-Ax, 3.73's, FRPP Coated Shorties, SpeedCal, P&P 2K Heads, 2K Intake, Bassani X-Pipe and Cat-Back, Subframe Connectors, JMS Chip, Eagle Alloy WheelsThey are not true Sheby Mustangs in the purist sense. It's not a scam in the sense that they're running a pyramid scheme ot trying to sell the Brooklyn Bridge, etc. They're just capitalizing on the name, and the craze. The prices they get are insane.... as are those who pay them... The result is that the originals which were reasonably affordable for the enthusiast of moderate means are disappearing, and prices are soaring.
And NOT all those cars are rustbuckets sitting in fields somewhere. They're buying whatever they can get. Thus disappears the true Mustangs which were affordable to the mainstream, only to reappear as something they never were, affordable only by the wealthy.
