The Shelby name on this car is only badging.

The Shelby name is a car company name. You can buy a Shelby through your Shelby "authorized" Ford dealer but it is still a Shelby. The vehicles that Shelby produces start with Ford platforms and Ford drivetrain but in the end they are Shelby's. That's why 1967 GT500's can race with non-existant (at the time) single 4bbl's et al, because Shelby (not Ford) signed the required NHRA documentation.
Today and for the last several years, Ford Motor Company has only produced for public roadways a Mustang with either a 4.6L V-8 and a V-6.
