2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

Sometimes car manufacturers bring back a nostalgic name, but don't deliver on the modern performance that name should command. When Ford brought back the Shelby GT500 name in 2007, no such mistake was made. Ford's SVT team delivered a beast with a 5.4L supercharged V8 with an iron block and four-valve aluminum heads that provides 500 horsepower. A Tremec 6-speed gearbox routes all this power through a 3.31 limited-slip rear axle capable of mid 4 second 0-60mph time. Careful suspension tuning by Ford's engineers and a quick steering ratio make it feel surprisingly nimble through the turns, while a liberal traction control system allows for plenty of fun.

This Shelby GT500 coupe is in excellent condition as it has just under 32,000 miles on it between 2 owners. It is originally a Southern California car and was purchased by the current owner 3 ½ years ago at a dealer in San Diego. This beast has had some tasteful performance mods starting with a Steeda Racing cold air intake with a 114mm MAF sensor, Ford Racing dual blade cobra jet 65mm throttle body, Kooks long tube headers, Kooks X-Pipe without catalytic converters, a Borla stainless steel axle back exhaust, Steeda Racing billet rear lower control arms, Hayes adjustable watts link, Lund Racing lowering springs, and a Shelby billet shifter handle with resin knob.

Additional non-performance modifications include: push button ignition, Shelby VIN dash plate with Carroll's autograph, smoked third brake light, HID high and low beams, GT40 styled color matched wheels, and sequential taillights. Factory features include: Shaker 1000 Audio System, GT500 premier trim package, traction control, keyless entry, Brembo front 14” vented disc brakes and caliper, 6-speed Tremec manual transmission, aluminum hood with air extractors, and active anti-theft system. It comes complete with the original books/manuals and keys. Don't miss this chance to own an iconic Shelby GT500 Mustang! Please call or email for more detail.
