2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

Description

A collector's item from the moment they were announced, the 2008 Shelby GT500 has always been a desirable coupe. And when it's so well presented on the outside, loaded on the inside, and upgraded for a street-eating 560 dyno-proven rear-wheel horsepower, you know this snake-bitten Mustang is irresistible.

The factory Vista Blue is in such great condition that you know it has lived a pampered life. That makes sense considering this is only one of 869 produced in this color. But when you're looking at a Shelby, you're not just looking for rarity, you also want aggression. That's why this one has an awesome dark side. There's the blacked-out grille, hood vents, tail panel (with tinted taillights,) and racing stripes that run from the chin spoiler to beyond the rear deck spoiler. We know you love that added coordinated darkness of the black Super Snake wheels. This total black and blue presentation is a nice reminder that this one was invested in nicely to make sure you could bruise Corvettes (more on that in a moment.)

Inside, the black bucket seats might be cowhide leather, but they've got Shelby's trademark snake embossed in them. Barely averaging over 3,400 miles annually means little seat time and few opportunities for wear-n-tear. This fresh-feeling interior is also loaded. You get all the best features, including power windows, power locks, power driver's seat, power steering, keyless entry, cruise control, and cold air conditioning. The stereo is the optional AM/FM/XM/CD Shaker unit with a six-disc changer built into the dash. And speaking of modern conveniences, you also get the safety of dual front airbags, side airbags, and ABS. But even with all these features, all you really care about is gripping the leather-wrapped steering wheel in your left hand, placing the sifter in your right one, and holding on for a speedy adventure.

Under the hood is the original supercharged 32-valve 5.4-liter V8 engine. While the fuel-injected motor was already a giant killer right out of the box, this one has had some serious investment added. It now has a cold air intake, and the supercharger spins faster with smaller pulley. And the V8 exhales with authority with American Racing long tube headers, American racing full exhaust, and Magnaflow exhaust tips. Plus, this whole setup was tuned by Pro Dyno. The full package is rated at 650+ hp at the crank and 560 hp at the rear wheels. We've got the dyno sheet to prove it, but all you really need to do is fire up this supercharged Shelby, and the roar will let everyone will know your power supremacy. This takes the car into Super Snake territory, but components like the six-speed manual transmission were built stout enough just for this exact purpose. There have also been some serious maintenance investments in the last 12 months to keep this GT500 at its best. That means fluid flushes, new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, new drilled & slotted four-wheel disc brakes, and a ton of suspension component upgrades (call for all the details.)

Complete with the owner's manual, original warranty card, and maintenance records, this custom is a mean machine. And its superior condition and low mileage tells you it has always been treated with the respect it deserves. Are you ready to charm this custom powerful snake? Call now!
