Ford Mustang Mach-E Shelb-E Renderings Predict The Inevitable

Ford Mustang Mach-E Shelb-E Renderings Predict The Inevitable

Is this really inevitable? Possibly, but before the Shelby fans of the world send us hate mail over these GT500-esque renderings of the new Mustang Mach-E, let us revisit some Shelby history. Actually, we鈥檙e rather impressed with the way these renderings came out. It鈥檚 not like the Mach-E is completely unrelated to the Mustang, so dialing in some GT500 flavor is easy peasy. The squared-off front clip is a good look for this EV crossover, and yes, we鈥檙e well aware that a power bulge hood on an electric car makes as much sense as a vegan crocodile. It still looks cool though, and in this instance, the extra space can offer a bit more frunk storage as opposed to clearance for a non-existant supercharger. As for performance, Ford already has a GT model of the Mach-E planned for 2021 that will rival the current Shelby GT500, at least in a sprint to 60 mph. The 760-horsepower muscle car gets there in 3.3 seconds, while the Mach-E GT is shooting for a time in the mid-3-second range. Juicing the battery for a proposed Ford Shelb-E model could see this crossover cut a full second off that time. Would you feel better about a Shelby-branded electric SUV that could hit 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and rip a 10-second quarter-mile? Admittedly, this Shelb-E creation is just a flight-of-fancy on our part but it could well preview the future of performance. Electric power is here to stay, and there鈥檚 no denying the performance potential of instant thrust with right now torque that electricity can offer. So why not add some stripes and a Shelby badge and just have some fun?

We finished the restoration in 2014. This new powerhouse 351 Windsor motor has only 6,800 miles and original matching numbers. Block was sent out to S&J for a complete custom build. Heads ported and polished, aggressive cam bal and blue printed block. The built C6 transmission, also original matching numbers, was sent out and custom built to hold all the extra power. For the paint this car was completely striped down and professional painted with seven coats of the best kandy paint on the planet, House of Kolor Kandy Apple Red over Orion Silver. This is a 12K paint job. The paint on this car is absolutely amazing in the sun and gets best paint at about every car show it is in. The functioning hood scoop and truck tail are both custom wrapped in top of the line 3M carbon fiber for that custom aggressive look. You can see this baby from a mile away.

If you want thumbs up at every traffic light this is the muscle car for you. The top award we received for this car is the 2014 People鈥檚 Choice Winner at the Ft. Lauderdale International Car Show. A crowd of 150,000 people voted this as their people鈥檚 choice winner. This is the biggest show in South Florida. We have all the newspaper articles and tons of trophies from every show this car has won. Every single part on the mustang was purchased from only the top of the line parts dealer in the US for Mustangs, National Parts Depot and Summit Automotive. We have every single receipt. 45K invested just in top quality parts and products. This fine Ford Mustang Mach 1 also has new aftermarket A/C which is cold as ice even in Florida on a 96 degree day. If your little lady wants to go for a ride there will be absolutely no complaining about her hair or the heat.

Now the best part arrives this custom Protour Mustang was dropped 5 inches for a very aggressive stance look and fitted with SSBC stainless slotted disk brakes, calipers and lines front and rear. This bad boy also has a custom 3鈥?mandel bend flowmaster 40 serious exhaust with custom side dumps if you ever want to go open headers at any time. As you can see this if one of the first 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1鈥檚 with custom side exhaust. This is the first 鈥?9 we have ever seen with this great custom feature. Now for the amazing sound system this car has nothing but the best audio possible, all JL audio amps, one 600 powers a 12鈥?JL sub in the trunk and a JL 4 channel supplies all other 6 speakers. You have never heard anything so clear and loud. This is all surrounded by plush white interior. We wanted to keep the color scheme original but with a new aggressive paint house of color Kandy paint job.
