Carroll Shelby's 100th birthday anniversary saluted with Centennial Edition Ford Mustang

Shelby American built a present for its late founder.

The Centennial Edition Mustang is a limited-edition custom that marks the 100th anniversary of Carroll Shelby's birth on January 11, 1923.

Shelby died in 2012 at age 89, but his namesake company has carried on his legacy with high-performance Ford Mustang builds.

The Centennial Edition will be limited to 100 cars, all based on 2023 Mustang GT's provided by the customer.
