Created by RK Motors back in 2014 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ford's legendary Mustang, this incredible Shelby Tribute is the direct result of some of the industry's best builders.
After many months of fabricating, tuning, and sorting, our Shelby Tribute joined thousands of other road-ready classics to participate in the 20th running of the magazine's renowned endurance cruise. And over the next seven days and 1,500 miles, the GT500 hit the blacktop from Charlotte, North Carolina all the way to Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin!
The Jon Kaase Boss Nine engine was tuned in our shop by Kaase himself and is conservatively tuned to an easy 711 horsepower and 806 lb./ft. of torque. Behind that powerplant, the hydraulic clutch works to shift the predictable Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed, which then spins a Ford 9-inch that is finished with 3.55 gears. That drivetrain rolls on a Detroit Speed QUADRA Link rear-clip.
Up front is a Detroit Speed Aluma-Frame front-half mounted with power rack-and-pinion steering. Drilled and slotted rotors along with Baer calipers handle the stopping power. On all four corners, the power meets the pavement through retro American Racing wheels and BF Goodrich G-Force tires.
Inside is a fully restored cockpit featuring a Ford black bucket seat interior with a Shelby roll bar and factory shoulder belts. Gauges include a correct 140 MPH speedometer and a correct 8,000 RPM tachometer and Stewart Warner accessory gauges. Keeping the driver comfortable is a Vintage Air system. The driver holds onto an attractive Shelby steering wheel.
Very few classics possess the thrill-inducing performance of this incredible Shelby GT500 Tribute. You're looking at a purpose-built head-turner and that is exactly what you will get.
