On a side note, if you have a Ford F-150, you can also ship it to Vegas and they will ship it back to you as a Shelby F-150. About 2 years ago I took a tour of the Shelby plant and they were working on the first F-150 to be Shelby-ized.

False.
Currently (excluding the KR from 08/09)
All Shelby GT500's are built by Ford, on the regular Mustang assembly line. If you look at the "cars" offered by Shelby American on their website, not one of them is called GT500.
You can buy a Shelby GT500 from Ford, and send it to shelby to turn it into a Shelby Supersnake, or a Shelby 1000. You can buy a regular 5.0 Mustang and send to Shelby to have them make it a Shelby GT or Shelby GT/SC
