Shelby American has recently revealed a one-of-a-kind 2021 Shelby GT500SE, which was commissioned by the non-profit Crusie for a Cause.
This ride, dubbed the “Hope Edition,” will travel the United States to help raise funds and awareness in support of cancer research. This special Mustang will also be the subject of a sweepstakes, with the car being gifted to its new owner later this fall.
“Everyone has been touched by cancer, whether personally or through someone they love,” said Gary Patterson, president of Shelby American. “We were honored to build this one-off car for Cruise for a Cause’s fundraising campaign. While every vehicle built at Shelby is special, we really poured our hearts into building a car that would inspire people to open their hearts and wallets to help eradicate this horrible disease.”
The 2021 Shelby Mustang GT500SE Hope Edition is built on the Carroll Signature Edition (SE) platform, and it's a serious ride too. This Shelby offers over 800-horsepower and a host of incredible performance upgrades including a lighter dry carbon fiber performance hood with functional air vents, suspension modifications, and aggressive styling updates.
“Since a portion of the sale from each SE package benefits the Carroll Shelby Foundation, it seemed the perfect foundation for our one-off car,” said Dan Neve, founder of Cruise for a Cause. “Collaborating with Gary Patterson, Vince LaViolette, and their team, we chose the options that people want the most, like the Carbon Fiber Track Pack and stunning Anti-Matter blue color. Then we added bold ‘Hope Edition’ graphics in key places within and on the outside the car, plus an official Shelby badge noting that it is one of one.”
The 2021 Shelby Mustang GT500SE Hope Edition will make its official public debut at this year's Shelbyfest event in Jefferson City, Missouri on May 6th. Interested in getting in on the ground floor of this awesome sweepstakes? Click here to learn more!
