Ford has released a mysterious teaser video (the first of five) which is likely to announce the return of the legendary Mustang Shelby GT350.

The announcement will be made on November 17, which is the day before the Los Angeles Auto Show’s first press day. The video emphasizes Ford’s motorsport heritage, showing images of Blue Oval racing and rally cars from recent and more distant past.

If you look closely, towards the end of the video you’ll see an Alcantara steering wheel, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a honeycomb grille, a big round exhaust tip and a “Powered by Ford” valve cover – all clues that we’re dealing with a performance model.

We keep our fingers crossed it’s the GT350 and we base our assumption on the Shelby rocker panel font used for the 11.17.14 debut date in the video.
