Ever since Ford handed over their GT40 to Carrol Shelby and his team that ended up turning it into a Ferrari killer, it was apparent that the folk at Shelby American were masters at taking the precious American Ford and turning them into something special. Throughout the years, Shelby American built their own high-performance variants of successful Fords, among them, the Mustang. After the first generation was so well received, Ford decided to produce a Shelby Mustang with every generation. The model in discussion was introduced at the 2005 New York International Auto Show carrying the legendary, top-of-the-line 'GT500' nametag, making it the most powerful variant of the Shelby Mustang. This enthusiast-owned 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is up for sale in Florida with just under 50,000 miles.
As featured, this 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 comes with the Racing Stripe Package, which is apparent as we observe the brilliant while racing stripes traveling down the middle of the car. Being a Shelby Mustang, it gets a wider, more aggressive body kit and 18-inch wheels. If that wasn't enough to convince you that it was Shelby-inspired, the distinctive Cobra badging on the front grille just might. This specific example is a convertible to boot, and comes with a matching black soft top, allowing you to drop the top and enjoy the engine’s bellowing…or the sunshine, depending on what floats your boat. On the interior, the car seems to have retained its original black leather well, with a pair of bucket seats up front with the Shelby Cobra embedded in them. there also seems to be a set of Shelby GT500 floor mats, and silver door sills labeled 'SVT'. the rest consists of mostly a black interior with contrasting silver accents. Climate control and a Kenwood head unit are the major creature comfort highlights, as well as cruise control.
Hefty body kits and flashy racing stripes aside, the biggest calling card in the GT500 is its insanely powerful 5.4L supercharged and intercooled V8 engine that sends the power to the rear wheels via a Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission. How much power? The seller reports a nice round figure of 500hp on this 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.
