You might remember from a previous post we mentioned Mike Raburn, owner/founder of Stangnet.com purchased a White Shelby GT500 coupe, well he took delivery back in early April and wasted no time turning it into the Glassback GT500 project for his site. The car was purchased at Dean Sellers Ford in Troy, Michigan and from there it went straight to Classic Design Concepts for a complete makeover from the ground up.

Once at CDC the Vista Blue Stripes were carefully removed from the car to make way for the hand painted stripes instead of the stickers Ford puts on. CDC then created a one-off custom crafted Glassback roof with matching exterior paint and stripes to give the car illusion the roof is still entact. The exterior of the car also includes a custom massaged rear ducktail spoiler, a painted lower front spoiler, a lower front grille with driving lights and a pair of 2008 GT500 HID headlights. Other exterior features less noticeable are the C-pillar scoops on the quarter windows, color-keyed sideview mirrors and functional brake cooling ducts where the factory fog lamps used to be.
