Get in touch quickly with Shelby American if your dream car is a brand new Shelby GT350.<\/p>\n

Shelby American confirmed last week that 2013 will be the last year of availability for its limited-run series of Shelby GT350 muscle cars. Shelby American will take new orders for the Shelby GT350 through December 31, 2013. You are out of luck after this deadline.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Shelby GT350 is one of the world\u2019s most celebrated, iconic muscle cars,\u201d said John Luft, president of Shelby American. \u201cWhen we unveiled this latest version of the Shelby GT350, we promised it would be built for a limited time to preserve its collectability and value. So we\u2019ve been preparing for this day since 2010. In true Carroll Shelby fashion, we\u2019re planning our next ultimate performance Shelby model.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shelby American said its approach has always been to first make history and then repeat it. In the 1960\u2019s, Shelby American built the GT350 in small numbers for the 1965, 1966 and 1967 model years, making those cars among the most desirable, collectible vehicles on the planet.<\/p>\n

The first (2011) model year 45th<\/sup> Anniversary Shelby GT350\u2019s were all coupes clad in Competition white with Guardsmen blue stripes, just as Shelby American did with the initial car in 1965. In 2012, three more colors (red, blue and anniversary black\/gold celebrating 50 years of Shelby American), as well as a convertible option were offered, similar to the options offered by Shelby American in 1966.<\/p>\n

\"Shelby_GT350_Conv-600\"<\/a>For the 2013 model year, Shelby American again followed tradition with expanded color options, equipment choices and styling changes, while the performance improvements remained intact.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Shelby GT350\u2019s rich history is well-documented,\u201d said Shelby American Vice President of Production Gary Davis. \u201cPeople value that heritage and tell us that they want this car to equal that exclusivity. We\u2019re staying true to our commitment to deliver a small block car with high performance, unique styling and collectability in a way that honors our heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company said that the concept behind the current GT350 was to build a car that is light, nimble and powerful. Beginning with the \u201csmall block\u201d 5.0 liter Ford Mustang GT as its base, every aspect of the car is enhanced or replaced to create the ultimate, balanced performance pony car that is true to the spirit of the 1960\u2019s era Shelby GT350.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve taken another page out of the \u2018Carroll Shelby playbook\u2019,\u201d said Luft. \u201cIn the ever evolving automotive market, we continue to adapt to meet customer needs. While we\u2019ll look back on the current GT350 with great love and devotion, as Carroll always said, \u2018our favorite car is the next one we build\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Orders are now being taken for all 2012 – 2014 model year Shelby American GT350<\/a>\u2019s through the end of 2013; As of January 1, 2014, this chapter of Shelby American history will close.<\/p>\n

Production will continue on all existing models, including the Shelby GTS, GT500 Super Snake and Shelby 1000, Shelby Raptor muscle truck and hot hatch Shelby Focus ST.<\/p>\n
