The First 2020 Shelby GT500 is A Nod To The 1968 ‘Green Hornet’ Prototype

It will be displayed at the Barrett-Jackson auction on January 2020.

Barrett Jackson sold the first production-spec Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 at $1.1million in January 2019. Craig Jackson, the company boss, won it. The car was rolled off the assembly lines in October 2019 in a customized color scheme. Jackson also owns a 1968 Shelby EXP500 prototype. His new car has a matching shade in dark green paint. This is the result of a Lime Green base coat and Candy Apple Green on top.

Jackson, announcing the car’s completion, said that “In making this request I truly did not realize how extraordinary it was.” Ford’s entire team went above and beyond to make my dream a reality. I couldn’t be happier.”

Jackson’s GT500 is identical to his Shelby prototype, as they both have EXP500 stripes on their lower front fenders. The 2020 model will get body-color mirrors instead of the black finish.

This year’s Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction will feature the custom 2020 GT500. He will surround it with other Shelby cars from his collection, such as the 1967 Ford Shelby GT500 EXP Protype.

A GT500 2020 might be a more expensive option for regular buyers who want to keep the car in their garage. Reports indicate that dealers are charging higher prices. One example is a Virginia showroom asking for $145,890. This amounts to about a $40,000 premium over vehicle cost with included options. California shop wants $170,000 for the supercharged coupe.
