Some say the "good" dirt is in the details. Classic Design Concepts (CDC) certainly believes so. They have released a great custom add-on to the inner deck lid that takes fashionable storage to another level. The "Detail Corral" frees up trunk space in your Ford Mustang by attaching to the underside of the deck lid and provides sleek storage for first aid, cleaning supplies, a CDC mini duster, and other various unmentionables. If you want it out of sight, round up the smaller contents of your trunk and throw them into the Detail Corral. There is no drilling required, so don't worry about making holes in the car and you can count on a very straight-forward installation with detailed instructions.

The immediate impression is that they did not enjoy the car 100% and seemed to think it is overrated by the attention is has received. Do they feel it is completely disappointing?

Just in case you might have been caught beneath a rock over this past weekend, the Ford Shelby GT made its way into the limelight, making its presence known quite well as the retail version of the popular Shelby GT-H. What's the big deal, anyway? Well, the big deal is that Ford is listening to its dealers and more importantly, its customers. People have been pining to get their hands on a GT-H and want to get their own stake in the special edition game. As a result, Ford has teamed with Shelby to provide an unconventional and speedy solution to giving the public what it wants: style and speed, pony car style.

Just yesterday, we told you about the upcoming twist on the 2007 Ford Mustang: the Ford Shelby GT. Ford has now released what this new Ford Mustang looks like and advises that this 4.6 liter, 325 horsepower pony car will fit a nice niche between the Mustang GT and the Ford Shelby GT500.

Today, Ford confirmed reports that the next variant of the Mustang will be dubbed the 'Shelby GT'. Due out in 2007; The Shelby GT is based on the highly popular GT-H. Anyone can rent the GT-H from selected Hertz rental car stores, but prior to this latest news, owning a GT-H was nearly impossible. According to several reports, the Shelby GT will come in either black or white (both with silver stripes), as well as the same scoops and horsepower of the GT-H. This exciting news comes just in front of the expected Chevrolet Camaro production announcement later this week. Ford's announcement also comes as the Shelby GT-500 starts to hit the streets and while some are waiting for the 2008 BOSS Mustang.

On the 40th Anniversary of the Shelby GT350H Ford Mustang, the Ford Motor Company, the Hertz Corporation, and Shelby Automobiles jointly produced 500 of the reborn GT-H Mustangs with the latest Mustang body style. While 500 were produced, only 499 are going to be up for the rental program. Why? The one remainder was auctioned off by Barrett-Jackson auctioneer "Spanky", Carroll Shelby, and Edsel Ford at the annual "Gathering of Eagles" fundraiser at the EAA AirVenture 2006. The winning bid: $250,000.
