Another V6 package that will be offered is the Warriors In Pink Package (54S).  The Warriors In Pink Mustangs will come standard with an Automatic transmission and only available in Black, Performance White and Silver Metallic.  Also the Warriors In Pink package includes GT Leather Seats with Pink contrast stitching, IUP package steering wheel with Pink stitching, lower rocker tape stripe in Pink metallic, charcoal floormats with Pink trim and Pink embroidered ribbon and pony logo and a pony badge replaced by Pink ribbon with a pony in the middle of the ribbon. 

The California Special Package returns for 2008 in two of the three new colors, Dark Candy Apple Red and Silver Clearcoat Metallic.

The 2008 Shelby GT500 is a carry over with the addition of HID headlamps and ambient lighting options.  The 2008 model is available in one new color, Vapor Clearcoat Metallic (ZY).  Other then those three changes nothing has changed for the Shelby GT500.

No mention of the 2008 Bullitt or Boss Mustang in the order guides but Ford has confirmed the Bullitt will arrive as a 2008 model.

Links to the order guides have been posted below if you would like to browse through them yourselves.  Acrobat Reader will be needed to view the files.

    In '07 a convertible with the California Special package was not available in Grabber Orange but based on the new order guide it is in '08. Am I reading it correctly? I hope so because if so I will be contacting my local dealer to palce an order.

    I think you are reading it correctly. Looks like it is available in Grabber Orange with the Black stripe kit.

    That's great. I did not see why they it was not offered in '07 but I saw it on the '08 order guide as a coupe or a convertible with the GT CS package but notice it's not listed as an available exterior color below that package as a normal convertible color under "carryover colors". Does that that seem right? This is the first time I have seen the order guide as I typically have purchased from dealer stock but this time I what to make the car special to us and just what we want and nothing we don't.

    I thought they made gt/cs in 2007 and this confirms it. I did a little digging and found a link to some pics of one,

    Wow, Every time I tried to spec out an '07 in grabber orange on the Ford site and them selected the C/S package in came up with an error message (yellow !) and wanted to change the color. I even called my local Ford dealers and they said it wasent available. I did call on Monday and confirm that I can order an '08 convertible in that color and with that package. Thanks for your help.

    Why in the hell do you not make a 500 horsepower shelby GT with automatic transmission. I am 46 years old and every car except one has been a high horsepower car with auto-trans. A manual transmission is too much work in rush-hour traffic. Most Americans prefer auto-trans. I want a shelby GT500 at the present cost or another $1000.00 more but, Ford doesn't offer this to us consumers. So I will move on to a GM high-horsepower car that gives me auto-trans. Wake up guys; you can sell any product in USA if you offer the right options. If there isn't an auto-trans strong enough to handle the torque; then design one (many of us would pay the cost difference-think 60's auto-trans) if you must. Tell your engineers to use there 4 years of college brains!

    Dave- I ordered and now own an 07 Grabber Orange California Special! If you would like to see detailed pics head over to www.grabberorange.net and search for threads by either OctoberJoe or Saylar. We both have one and the only difference between them is that mine has the cloth top and his has vinyl.

    Dave - Can I order a 2008 Shelby GT500 in the YN color (Silver Clearcoat) or is this just a Mustang color option not available on GT500's?

    The Shebly GT 500 with an auto. are you nuts. thats takes away the fun of driving it. that would be like have it without a supercharger. and i know auto in traffic is great but with that car would can drive around traffic jams.

    I wrote a couple months back about my wife insisting on me ordering a shelby. Well guess what, I DID, and can't hardly wait for the expected February arrival date! Of course it's the triditional white with blus stripes and hardly any other options. Believe me it will never see a drop of rain or a snow flake. I'm 62 and still have the need for speed!

    I did not see that the "Red Stripe Package" was going to be available in '08. Do you think it is going to be a later edition option like in '07 or is it not going to be available at all??? Say it isn't so!

    The "Red Stripe Package" was released around the middle of October, only 600 will be produced and are only convertibles, with hood and deck lid stripes. Mine is supposed to be built the week of Nov. 26th.

    Since no offer of a Shelby GT500 with auto-tans. is available...It's up to us consumers to build our own. And that is exactly what I had done to my GT500. Original transmission taken out and replaced with a special built high performance automatic transmission that can handle the
    torque and horsepower of the GT500. Price was $5,000.00, in addition I had to turn over the original new transmission as part of the deal.
