"Historically, we have sold dozens of cars to overseas buyers and are thrilled to ship a Shelby G.T.500CR to the Middle East," says Jason Engel, owner of Classic Recreations. "American muscle cars are very popular internationally, particularly in the Middle East. The customers there are very particular and want cars that look and sound like vintage muscle but drive like modern supercars - customers in that market want the very best and they're willing to pay for the best. They give us the opportunity to push the limits of muscle car performance."   Classic Recreations is celebrating the shipping of the Dubai G.T.500CR by offering free shipping on any international order received before May 10th.
