SEMA 2009: Ford shows off Healing Heroes Network grand prize Shelby GT500 pair
Healing Heroes Network charity raffle Shelby GT500s - Click above for high-res image gallery
In the Ford booth at SEMA this year, we spotted a matching set of 1967 and 2010 Shelby GT500 Mustangs. White with blue stripes, they looked incredible even in the unflattering lighting of Central Hall. The 1967 example is a verified Shelby original, number 3139 in the Shelby Registry. The 2010 GT is a one-of-a-kind special edition done up in the same Wimbledon White with Guardsman Blue stripes as the old-timer. It has been dubbed the Patriot Edition and features a host of aftermarket changes that make it more closely match its ancestor.
While stopping to check them out we noticed a big sign nearby, telling us they could both be ours. Apparently, this duo is being raffled off to raise funds for the Healing Heroes Network, a charity that benefits injured Veterans. So buying a ticket or 10 is a chance to win these fantastic Shelbys, and support a worthy cause. Sounds like an easy decision to us. If you'd like to donate, buy tickets, or just find out more about the cars, the charity and the auction, check out this website.

I just donated, and tried to enter 'autoblog' in the promotion code area, and of course it said it wasn't a valid promotion code. If the people from Healing Heroes do see this page, know that you got an extra $100 thanks to autoblog's posting. If they get a surge of donations this morning, chances are that it's mostly thanks to them as well.

I too just donated, and tried to find a place to reference autoblog.
If they just had a "notes" field in their checkout process I could do so.
Hope I win!

They're both beautiful, but I'd much rather have the 1965 Shelby GT 350--I'd like to see Ring Bros do a resto on one of those babies.
That said, it's awesome to see a company support the troops like this. An excellent cause.

A great cause and great prizes. I hope I win too.
Seems an appropriate time to revisit the best Ford commercial ever:

I know that's the GT500, not the GT, and the hood says it's a Shelby Super Snake as well. Man they look good in white.
