Stratospheric Power and Stripes: The 2016 Shelby American F-150 at the Houston Auto Show



Right now, the floor of the NRG Center in Houston is full of more than 700 vehicles that range from performance cars to pickup trucks. In between those two extremes at the Houston Auto Show stands the 2016 Shelby American F-150.

Expensive for what a is essentially a conversion truck.

 

The OP misspelled $helby.

 

Yikes! That IS expen$ive! And it can tow so much - like half what mine can. Oh, I see, cost and towing are inversely proportional.

 

The wheels look like what an 18 year old installs on their truck after Daddy hands over the credit card.....

Couldn't have said that better.

 

I'm sure it's fast. Did they have to beat it with the ugly stick too?

 

I saw one of these at my dealer today. It was pretty nice looking but wow its a lot of money. $132,000 cdn. And it was sold. I wish I had that kind of cash.

 

Aweful, just like the rest of the creations the modern Shelby company has been building for a number of years. Just how many "SHELBY" emblems does one vehicle need? The name alone doesn't justify the amounts of money the company asks. Original 60's vintage Shelby's are certainly valuable cars, but it ends there.

 

Funny! We saw one like that in Lockeford, CA yesterday. My better half said those wheels look like they should be on a low rider!

 

I like the idea of the power, and a unique paint scheme would be okay, but the Tuscany body kits, hood, etc. just doesn't appeal to me at all (looks just like the FTX, Black Ops, etc. just a different color scheme). I've never really cared for the conversion trucks, just a personal "quirk" I suppose. I'd personally prefer to have a 700 HP "sleeper"......
