Shelby Factory tour behind the scenes! Part 2 Shelby GT 500, GTE, Super Snake

/ mustangconnection1
Thanks to Gary Patterson of Shelby American, Mustang Connection was given great access to the factory floor. Check out this behind the scenes look at the factory floor after the shift is over. This includes a look at the vintage Shelby GT350 and GT 500 cars sitting on the factory floor.

Very neat tour, and easy to follow without a lot of background noise.

It would be worth saving to do a conversion, thank for watching and commenting. Hope you are subbed.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Cool tour and tons of cars getting the conversion. Was it after hours there. Thanks for taking us along

[@MustangConnection1]

Hey Lloyd, Yes this was after shift hours and after the regular tours. Gary was kind enough to let me wander around and film for a bit. Thanks for watching!

[@TMAN0950]

Nice tour, thanks Rich

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks! Always appreciate the comments, hope all is good.

[@Customwinder1]

Thanks for the factory tour sir. It would be a dream come true to work there.

[@MustangConnection1]

Yes it would be a cool place to work, thanks for watching!

[@familyjoy5605]

Awesome video and channel my friend :-)

[@frankbeato3447]

Cool! Gary let you wander around the barn.

[@MustangConnection1]

It was petty cool to be the only one on the main production floor , thanks for checking it out Frank!

[@GoodnightMrDoback]

i visited this place during a trip to vegas, signed my name on the wall from Scotland

[@MustangConnection1]

Awesome Kris!

[@ziggassedup]

That's where things get hand built.

[@MustangConnection1]

Yes a bit of old time hand technology!

[@huck01955]

Very cool

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks Joe!

[@MorbidThrasher666]

Sweet!

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@MorbidThrasher666]

yup

[@1970chevelle396]

I drove right by there on my way to Vegas.

[@MustangConnection1]

A cool spot, I know you are a Chevy guy but also a car guy so it's worth a look.

[@ehrldawg]

R U gonna have yours converted? Can they convert any Mustang? i.e. a 1976 II?

[@MustangConnection1]

They only do Shelby GT and GT 500 2007 to 2014 and 2015 to 17 Ecoboost and GT in a variety of mods. They also do
F150's . No vintage or cars. I don't own anything in that category and not sure my budget would allow it at this point. Cool rides though! Thanks for watching!

[@darylhedge8764]

will they or can they convert the car to a right hand drive ? as here in new zealand we drive on the left hand side of the road

[@MustangConnection1]

Best just to call Shelby and ask www.shelby.com/. They may have an authorized mod shop in that part of the world too.

[@robertmseaman]

Can u guys please take my 2016 mustang gt and make it a shelby.... a man can dream lol

[@judah0471]

Thank-you. ....... do you think they will be able to upgrade my 89 Mustang?

[@MustangConnection1]

They don't mod older fox bodies, probably have to try a Mustang mod shop in your area.

[@judah0471]

Ok thank-you

[@judah0471]

This is for you my bro

[@laurenparkerva]

Awesome tour. Are we ever going to see the 2019 GT500? What I don’t understand is that they already produce 1000 hp super snake. Why can’t they produce that in a production car. Why is the demon such a big deal in horse power when so many cars can do upgrades and make way more.

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks for watching! Shelby American and Ford are two distinct entities so Shelby American has nothing to do with the upcoming GT500 from Ford. Likewise the Super Snakes are post title modified Mustangs not sold by Ford but upgraded by Shelby American. I know it gets a bit confusing but the Super Snake is not a factory produced OEM car like the Dodge Hellcats and Demons.

[@laurenparkerva]

MustangConnection1 makes sense. You would think factory cars would learn from the aftermarket partners.

[@TEN21Portraits]

You didn't mention that triple black 2016-17 GT350, what were they doing with that?

[@MustangConnection1]

It is an R&D car but I know they have not done much with it, I was told that Ford didn't like the idea of trying to supercharge it as it would likely steal the thunder of the new GT500 coming out in '18.

[@TEN21Portraits]

MustangConnection1 you answered my next question. Thank you. I really need some new GT500 news lol.

[@thorerik678]

I don't see anyone working on these cars. Must be a Sunday.

[@Daniel-ge6mf]

Wish they did regular gt. Would love to have my 2012 gt into a Shelby 1000

[@MustangConnection1]

They will do just about anything for a price

[@MrRobschnieder]

Man, if only i wasnt selling 2009 GT 500 a SS conversion would have been a goal

[@MustangConnection1]

Too bad you have to sell it .

[@phantomstratocaster]

this is when your pony comes of age

[@MustangConnection1]

Indeed

[@lennythelizard3856]

What is a GTE?

[@MustangConnection1]

That is their base upgrade package for the S550 Mustang.

[@judah0471]

sorry it didn't come through :(

[@MustangConnection1]

?

[@judah0471]

I was trying to send you a picture

[@phantomstratocaster]

if you have a brand new vehicle doint forget you loose all take off parts wheels ties ,splitter,rocker panel ,handing pack ,head rest etc.

[@MustangConnection1]

That is true but that is used to offset the cost of the mods.
