This is the source. I may have muddied the record at the beginning of my post by mentioning the Hertz with the fender flares. I meant to add that the Hertz was another Shelby I saw with unusual attributes in addition to this one. I will attribute it to Bullitt delirium or Bullitt fatigue. Was playing soundtrack up and back. Hardcore.

With fender flares and blue and white velour interior. Looks kinda hot from exterior in a forbidden borderline sacrilegious sort of way.

Found on Bring a Trailer site under Shelby Mustang. Saw a Hertz car on there with huge flares painted white with white and blue velour interior as well. I could find and post.

At least it did the job of keeping the tag with the car.

Or did they not have rivets when they transferred it to the replacement body?

Quite possibly!  Guess you could say they got "screwed" on the deal.

I would accept a Shelby in any color.  Ivy green is equally appealing.  Go with it!

Great pics!  Thank you!

My GTH rental from Atlanta Airport to ride the Tail of the Dragon back in March of 2017.  Worth every penny to rent this fun car!

That they did.  But so did "Cadillac" LOL!  I don't know of any Cadillac sold at a dealer that looks anything like that "Cadillac."  Conversely, the Ford GT road car is very similar to the race car and has more horsepower.  The racing version had to be detuned.  Just too damned fast otherwise.  Kind of feel bad for the Corvettes.  Well not really.  LOL!

Anyone want to lay odds on what will happen to the Ford GTs if they come in at one and two (which at this point there is a good probability).  I submit that there will be some sort of metoo type witch hunt to try and find some alleged or imagined violation of the rules and the sanctioning body will strip the GTs of their results.  Or in the alternative they will punish Ford and add another boat anchor to the GTs for the next race.  Part of the Ford advantage is the fuel efficiency of their engine.  Twin turbo V6 versus V8.  Go Ecoboooooost!  The Ford GT is so beautiful it should be hammered to a wall in the Louvre.  I see that a Lamborghini Huracan is leading GTD.  Good for Lambo.  I had never imagined them as being successful race cars but they are proving me wrong.  I always liked their cars...

Fords still leading 1 and 2 but Corvette is troublesome.

Yes and it cost them Le Mans last year. Now it's 5:11 eastern and Ford still 1 and 2 in GTLM.

Go to imsa.tv and watch the in car camera.  You have a choice of Ford, Audi, Porsche, Chevrolet and prototypes.  And once you log in on the website click on the radio broadcast that runs continually.  So you have your choice car or cars and the narration.  Next best thing to Fox coverage. I highly recommend it.  In car for the Ford is the lead car of Joey Hand, car number 66.  I want Ford to beat the competition into submission.  But so many things can go wrong in a 24 hour race.  Enjoy.

Very profound and though provoking.  Thank you.

Ford GT running 1 and 2 with third car, a 911 RSR one lap down.  Come on Ford!
