The Shelby GT will return in 2008 with a few changes, most notably the addition of a convertible model. The 2008 Shelby GT will have a production run of 2,100 with the majority of those 2,100 being convertibles. The 2008 Shelby GT will only be offered in Vista Blue with Metallic Silver stripes, a change from 2007 when buyers were given a choice of Performance White and Black Ebony. No reason behind the change to a one color production was given, our guess is it was due to Ford cutting options, but those interested in purchasing Black Ebony (my personal favorite) will be disappointed to no longer have that option. As with the 2007 model the GT will be produced with the 320HP 4.6L V8 and be offered in either Manual or Automatic transmissions. The price will remain the same as well.
