no official production plans/ intent has been announced by ford re the roadster . autoweek some time ago said the roadster was in for a re-design, yet the one shown at saac-29 in july 04 was the same one that had been originally designed and displayed . i have not seen anything in print that has confirmed any redesign of the roadster. officially the ford GT is just that, a GT, NOT a gt40- they lost the rights to that name which is held by gt40 after market supplier Safir in ohio. bill,motown -----Original Message----- From: Shelby6t7@aol.com [mailto:Shelby6t7@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 4:34 PM To: ShelbyMustang@CarMemories.com Subject: Shelby GR-1 The GR-1 is definitely a hot car, and I hope in becomes a reality, however I also recall seeing in person the new Shelby 2 seater Cobra, what ever happened with that car? Besides at $200K for a GR-1, for the money, I'd rather have the new Ford GT 40. Kenny
