Named in honor of a Marine, this Sportsroof is a multi-award winner and unflappable in competition.

The '07 Shelby GT500 supercharged 5.4L modular, to be exact. While Ford had great success with its supercharged Thunderbirds, SVT Lightning F150s, and '03-'04 SVT Cobra Mustangs, it was the '07 Shelby GT500 Mustang that put the stamp on the performance envelope with its boosted 500hp powerplant. Erich Bollman of New Castle, Delaware, has been a Ford fan for some time, and currently owns a '69 Boss 302 Mustang, as well as his first car, a '66 Mustang coupe. As owner of Christiana Muscle Cars, a family-owned, restoration and custom build shop, Erich has had his hands on everything from concours restos to full-tilt race cars, both drag and road racing. It was his love of the '69 Mustang body and the impression of the new GT500 engine that he decided to put the two together in an over-the-top custom creation.
