    I was in Las Vegas this last weekend for the Craftsman Truck races and was able to swing by Shelby's. Here are some pictures of the fleet in the parking lot. Very awesome sight to see.:cigar:

    Orange Shelby's

    Brian, thanks for the pics; being pretty new to this whole Shelby search I hadn't really been aware of the orange/silver. Do I understand this is a Calif only car or can any dealer get them?

    The Grabber Orange cars are limited to the Southern California region only.

    Calif orange GTs

    Thanks Robin. I posted elsewhere asking more about this and understand only CA dealers got them. So it must have been some CA-only promotion? Interesting.

    Mustang California Specials (GTs with some added cosmetic features) are available nationwide. Probably just as popular outside of California than in California. Cost is slightly more than a regular GT.

    Shelby GTs in grabber orange are destined ONLY for Southern California and carry the price tag of a Shelby GT.

    Will it go under the name Shelby GT and just have a different color or will it be a whole other model or special addition?
    Best Regards,

    You can't quote me on this because I don't know for sure, but I'm thinking this is only a different paint scheme. Why CA? I don't know. But the color is kind of growing on me ... but I don't have any contacts in CA. If anyone does. I'd like to speak with a dealer there harrlaw@comcast.net

    Also, i was under the impression that the dark blue color was to only come on the converts. I guess, judging by the pics, it can be had on the new hard tops as well! Was anyone else mistaken like me?

    Hi Vern,

    I did know they were doing both because of as much reading as I've done; however, the 2007 GT-H's were only convertibles.

    I've got the picture of the Grabber Orange cars on my computer wallpaper and have to say it's growing on me!
