2009 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Red Package

Description

When you know you have a modern collector car, you treat it with respect from day one. That's what you can really see on this 2009 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. It is a beautiful white and red two-owner coupe with under 8500 miles on the odometer. It makes for a 500-hp supercharged juggernaut that impresses just as much for its shine as it does for its power.

The Performance White on this snake-bitten Mustang is in such great condition that you know it has lived a pampered, garage-kept life. There's even a fitted car cover. The whole coupe is a great modern representation of what Carroll Shelby did to the original Mustang over five decades ago. These take retro-look pony cars and make them more aggressive. The front gives you an added dark side with a blacked-out grille, hood vents, and carbon fiber splitter. There are also tasteful upgrades like the red snake-bitten badges, upgraded headlights, and polished Shelby alloys. Plus, these red racing stripes live up to their over-the-top name designation better than others by extending into custom areas like the rear window louver and the rear valance. It makes for a stunner that stays quite stock while also delivering the right amount of added distinction.

Inside, we love the optional red accent package that gives you red inserts on the doors and seats. Not only does it have good coordination with the exterior, but it also adds some distinct color to the full black package inside. And there's just something extra attractive about red contrast stitching on the shift boot and steering wheel of a true sports car. And the freshness that you see over every inch reminds you that this is a low-mileage two-owner car that has truly been babied. Shelby coupes came only one way: loaded. This means a power driver's seat, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, cruise control, a premium AM/FM/CD stereo, and cold-blowing air conditioning are all part of the package. Plus, a modern classic means modern safety features like anti-lock brakes, dual front airbags, and side airbags. And you'll always love the tingle of the performance feeling you get from gripping the leather-wrapped steering wheel and Ford Racing shifter.

A 500-horsepower street car is serious business, and the GT500 more than lived up to the hype. The fuel-injected engine is a variation of the 5.4-liter supercharged V8 found in the Ford GT supercar. So yes, you have serious street-eating power. And when mated to the six-speed manual transmission, this Mustang offers enough performance to keep Z06 Corvette owners looking over their shoulders. There are even some nice upgrades you want in a power car, like an upgraded air intake and an engine programmer. There are even upgraded Borla mufflers to let the V8 sing a proper throaty tune. And you can tell all the main components are in place, right down to the SVT builder tag on the valve cover. But while the production stickers still seen in the undercarriage photos remind you this car is at a collector-grade level, we know you won't be able to resist adding miles to the odometer. After all, with a sports suspension, thick sway bars front & rear, power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and grippy Yokohama tires, this Shelby begs to be driven.

The sale comes complete with the original window sticker as well as the aforementioned programmer module and matched car cover. It's a Shelby Mustang you enjoy today and know that they will still be appreciated down the road. Don't let this awesome snake-bitten pony slip away. Call today!!!
