Classic Recreations unveils a limited-edition series of custom Shelby GT500CR replicas, poised to leave an indelible mark on both the automotive world and the fight against heart disease. With only 10 of these exclusive vehicles slated for production, enthusiasts and collectors alike are primed for an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of automotive history while contributing to the American Heart Association’s (AHA) noble cause.
Crafted with precision, each GT500CR replica boasts a full carbon fiber body, exuding an aura of elegance and performance. Adorned with striking red stripes and hand-painted white pinstripes, the livery pays homage to the AHA’s iconic colors.
Even the cabin features custom interiors, featuring sport bucket seats, supple leather upholstery, and meticulous red accent stitching. The cars come with a personalized number plate, accompanied by Carroll Shelby’s signature.
The custom Shelby GT500CR replicas run on a Magnuson VMP Supercharged 5.0-liter Coyote engine, which delivers an exhilarating 800 horsepower. It comes coupled with a Tremec six-speed gearbox and precision-tuned suspension.
With a price tag of $625,000 per vehicle, acquiring one of these bespoke replicas represents not only a statement of automotive prowess but also a significant contribution to the AHA’s “Life is Why” campaign. With $100,000 from each sale directly benefiting heart disease research and prevention efforts, the collective impact of these 10 vehicles helps give hope to countless individuals affected by cardiovascular ailments.
In addition to honoring the American Heart Association for 100 years of service, the $1 million donation will also go towards funding vital heart and stroke research, providing CPR training, and supporting organizations improving the health of under-resourced communities. On top of that, this campaign pays homage to Carroll Shelby’s 100th birthday.
