I own a 2007 GT500 and it won't disappoint you if you want a fun and fast car that can easily be upgraded to 600 plus horsepower.
If you want a collectible car, the Roush will reach this milestone long before the GT500. Initially, only 8000 GT500's were to be built in 2007. In reality, they built almost 12,000 and have continued to build them every year since. The GT500 is built by Ford along side the regular Mustang in Flat Rock, Michigan, through an agreement with Carroll Shelby. The KR model also begins life in Flat Rock, but goes to Shelby in Las Vegas for final assembly. So, in the minds of the purists, the regular GT500 isn't a real Shelby.

I am looking for an 05 - 07 Saleen Mustang convertible.

What do you all think about the collectability of those?

[JayR]

IMO, if any of these cars become true collectibles it's so far down the road many of us won't be around to see it. At present, Roush and Saleen cars garner more attention than GT500's (except the KR), because they are fewer of them. The GT500's that probably will become the collectibles in the distant future are the KR and GT500's modified by Shelby into 600 and 700HP Super Snakes. Also, depends what you want the car for. If it's fast fun, get a GT500, but don't expect it to appreciate in value for years, if ever. IMO, the Roush,Saleen and Shelby built Mustangs have a better chance to hold their value and become collectibles in the years ahead.

I agree!

Just seen it yesterday at a car meet...

I like it, but i don´t know if it´s a real Saleen or not...

[Astock]

I think Saleen as a company is finished,but he's still building cars under a new name,SMS. Do a Ebay search and you will see a couple Challengers built by Steve M. S.

The Fox cars will become collectible first. Starting with the dealer specials like the Dominators. Especially the early '83-'84 Dominators with the head work, solid cams, no smog equipment, cold air kits, special MSD ignition, non emissions Holley, etc. Then the race cars. Famous cars like Mike Murrillo's Star Car 1, Brian Wolfe's 86 GT, Stormin' Norman's red turbo 'Vert, etc. And then period modified cars. The Fox movement went through several distinct periods where certain mods were common, and the guys who grew up in those particular periods will be willing to pay good money for a solid, well built car done in the style they like. Notchbacks will lead the way in value in that category. My 2 cents.

EDIT: I should add that I include Saleen's, Steeda's, etc. in the dealer special category.

[Charley Lillard]

LOL...I have never heard of any of them....

[bluesfannoz]

Beings that I run a registry for the 1982 to 1990 Dominator Mustangs... and came across this post. I have to Agree 100% with this. Special Edition Fox Chassis cars are already becoming collectors items. The Saleens, Predators, Dominators, MClaren Capri's, all already have a following that will only continue to grow.

checkout http://www.foureyedpride.com and see just how many faithful to the Fox's there are...

Old5.0 Thanks for spreading the word about the Dominators! I want to find every single one still on the Road!
