2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 1700 Miles

When you think of the legendary Carroll Shelby it’s hard to not think of the legendary Sixties Shelby GT500. Tire shredding performance and drop-dead gorgeous looks were its thing. During the early 2000s the GT500 name was brought back and unlike many sequels of the automotive world, this one lived up to its iconic name badge and tire-shredding history. You got refreshed looks which played tribute to its original design and a whole lot of performance under the hood. With the car we have today you might not want to shred tires and do all those Mustang things, as it’s that pristine. This 2007 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 is not just a lovely tribute to legendary Mustangs but is also a very low mileage example with just 1,700 miles on the clock since new. Furthermore, it’s also reported to be 1 of 2 cars in that specific trim and color combo according to the seller as well making this one rare bird and a savvy investment for the future.

Exterior and Interior

Sporting a name like Shelby is a cool thing and the appearance of a Shelby-adorned car needs to portray that long and successful racing history the right way. This 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 with its alloy clearcoat metallic exterior not only brings out that history but takes it up a notch by also sporting a Shelby Tungsten race stripe which runs across the car. The racing stripe also matches the aluminum hood with air extraction and gives the car an aggressive front-end appearance. The 18 x 9.5" bright machined aluminum SVT wheels are wrapped with a set of competition tires that further build on on that racing heritage and complement the exterior of the car as well. To add to that sporty persona, you also get a rear decklid spoiler which is also in great condition. The overall exterior of this car is in great condition all thanks to it being a very low mileage example that hasn't been tampered with. The interior is black with red accents all around. The leather sport bucket seats with the embossed Cobra logo are in great condition with the driver's seat having a 6-way power seat to capture your preferred driving position. Your driving tunes are done justice by the Shaker 1000 audio system in place. You also get a Sirius satellite radio which is equipped from the factory. The rear window defroster present helps with visibility if need be.

Engine

Living up to the legendary Sixties Shelby Gt500 in terms of performance perception was no easy task. In the 1967 issue of Car and Driver, it was famously stated that the Shelby GT500 develops so much torque that it’s enough to pull the skin of the earth measurably tighter when stomping on the gas”. The 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 sure did live up to the task in its own way. Powering this car is a 5.4 L V8 supercharged engine which pushes 475hp and it rockets off the line with 0 to 60 times of 4.5 seconds. Power is sent to the rear wheels in true muscle car fashion through a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission. All this madness is brought to a standstill thanks to a set of anti-lock brakes. The order code 820 A also brings in suspension upgrades to aid in handling if you do decide to partake in a track day.
