2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

Description

You're looking at automotive royalty taken to the next level. This 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is already a desirable limited edition speed machine. But this low-mileage car has also had all the right investments to upgrade the V8 to 975+ horsepower! And it's not just the professionally-built powerhouse that will get your attention, but also there are all the right supporting components in the drivetrain and suspension. So read on, because this only gets better...

Red Candy is a terrific paint name for a car like this. After all, it makes you think of the best custom street machines from back in the day, and as you dig deeper into this one, you'll see it's a modern version of those classic blacktop kings. There are even desirable additions to the factory paint, like a ceramic coating and protection film in the front to keep this looking candy-coated. It's not perfect, because you want this to be a driver, too., but the low mileage, good respect, and solid investments keep it attractive. And that's the kind of theme you'll see throughout this coupe. The GT500 is always going to be an aggressive car, but this one turns it up a notch with the right additions. The black Weld racing wheels go nicely with the blackout panels on the grille and rear. The upgrade to the Super Snake-style hood also has some added darkness with the wide scoop opening. Hood pins, full racing stripes, slotted quarter windows, an extended rear spoiler, and quad exhaust tips are all part of an attitude that lets people know your pony car is really a snake in the grass.

The full black leather setup inside is both luxurious and sporty. And all this darkness is nicely broken up by white dual racing stripes to mirror the exterior. An expensive Shelby like this came directly from the factory loaded with the best features. This means power windows, power locks, power seats, keyless entry, cruise control, power steering, and dual-zone automatic climate control are all present and working perfectly. The stereo is the optional AM/FM/XM/CD Shaker unit with a touchscreen. It pumps out huge power, and it's still modern enough to have Bluetooth, satellite navigation, and interface with your iPod. And speaking of modern conveniences, you also get the safety of dual front airbags, side airbags, and ABS. But more than just a coddler, there are some nice upgrades that remind you of the added investment here. It includes the A-pillar auxiliary readouts. There's even a handle for a drag chute - there isn't one currently mounted, which is a reminder that this hasn't had track time under the current owner but what's under the hood will have you thinking about becoming a quarter-mile king.)

Under the hood is a correct-style DOHC 5.8-liter fuel-injected V8 engine, but we're told the factory motor has been replaced by a full professional setup built by Geddes Racing Engines. It has been enhanced and fortified with components like Diamond pistons, Molnar Power Adder rods, Darton dry sleeves, a CobraJet crank, a Modular Head Shop rotating assembly, ARP studs, JDM Super Stock camshafts, Gearhead Stage 3 ported heads, and a Whipple Monoblade throttle body. And sitting on top of it all is a VMP Performance Gen 3 supercharger with 2.7 pulley. Plus, just to make sure this one can inhale as deeply as possible, there's both a JLT cold air intake and a Snow methanol kit. It is a total package that produces 976 horsepower. And while we have the dyno sheet to prove it, all you have to do is open up the electric cutouts on the three-inch dual exhaust to let everyone know this Shelby power just by its thunder. You are in full control of this monster motor because the already stout six-speed manual transmission was upgraded further with bronze shift fork pads, hybrid syncros, and was cryo-treated by Liberty Gears. This feeds a Moser 8.8 Wavetrac limited-slip rear and 31 spline axles. Extra-meaty Mickey Thompson tires are the final step to get the power to the pavement. The suspension upgrades include a BMR tubular K -member, BMR drag springs, a Steeda competition rear sway bar, and four-wheel power disc brakes.

There's plenty more to go over with the added components and build receipts. We don't have the room to list it all here, but we'll be happy to go over it all on call. This is a custom build that knows to out-power its GT500 siblings and other specialty Shelby machines. Are you ready to charm this custom powerful snake? Call today!!!
