Behold. The Shelby Mustang GT available for your driving pleasure at a fraction of the cost. How so do you ask? Silly one, you rent it from Hertz of course!! This article from CNN has all the info you need.
The NY Auto Show is going to be something I have to experience next year.
Those cars, slightly modified versions of the Shelby GT350 available for
purchase at Ford dealerships, were available to members of the Hertz Sports Car
Club and could be rented at selected Hertz airport locations around the
country.
Shelby produced 1,000 of the cars, most with automatic transmissions and black-and-gold paint schemes, but the program lasted for only one year, said Matt Stone, executive editor of Motor Trend Classics magazine. During that time, rental Shelbys made occasional weekend appearances at race tracks, he said.Forty years later, Hertz customers will again get the chance to rent a Shelby. This time, 500
black-and-gold Shelby GT350s will have 325-horsepower engines and high-performance suspension. A standard Mustang GT has a 300-horsepower
engine.
