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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
This 1992 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 takes the lightweight Fox-body formula and turns the performance dial well past stock. Showing approximately 80,783 miles, this example is powered by a 347ci stroker V8 with Edelbrock electronic fuel injection and backed by a Tremec 3550 5-speed manual transmission. Twisted Wedge cylinder heads, upgraded valve springs, an Edelbrock EFI intake manifold, heavy-duty water pump, and aftermarket engine-management components all point to a build centered on stronger naturally aspirated performance. Add in SVE wheels, Nitto NT555 tires, upgraded brakes, and an aftermarket exhaust, and this LX becomes the kind of modified Fox-body that speaks directly to Mustang enthusiasts.
The 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop captures the formula that made the first-generation Mustang such an immediate success: compact proportions, unmistakable styling, and an approachable V8-powered driving experience. Showing approximately 17,855 miles, this example is powered by a 289ci V8 backed by a three-speed automatic transmission and finished in Champagne Beige over a Palomino interior. Black dual racing stripes and lower body accents give the otherwise elegant color combination a more aggressive edge, while Styled Steel wheels, raised-white-letter Cooper Cobra tires, power steering, aftermarket air conditioning, and several underhood upgrades make this Mustang a well-rounded classic with both visual presence and useful drivability enhancements.
The 1967 Ford Mustang has long been one of the most recognizable shapes in American performance history, and this Eleanor-style restomod takes that familiar silhouette in a much more aggressive direction. Showing just 375 miles, this build combines a 302ci V8 with Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, a Holley HyperSpark ignition system, a Ford C5 automatic transmission with a shift kit, and a long list of comfort and convenience upgrades. The exterior treatment is equally distinctive, pairing Emerald Green and copper with Eleanor-style fiberglass body components, custom graphics, copper-painted aftermarket wheels, and a custom hood accent. Inside, a reupholstered TMI Whiskey two-tone cabin, power accessories, air conditioning, aftermarket vintage gauges, and a tilt steering column give this Mustang a much more modern driving environment without losing its classic character.
This 1926 Ford Model T Roadster Hot Rod is a compact, old-school street rod built around one of hot rodding’s most recognizable early-Ford shapes. Showing approximately 5,979 miles, it combines a lightweight roadster body with V8 power, an automatic transmission, and a distinctly traditional custom presentation. The black exterior is contrasted by purple pinstriping and flame graphics, while extensive chrome and polished engine hardware gives the exposed powerplant plenty of visual impact. With its staggered wheel setup, side-exit exhaust, custom aluminum dashboard, and vivid purple accents, this Model T delivers the stripped-down, mechanical personality enthusiasts expect from a classic hot rod.
This 1929 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan Street Rod takes one of Ford’s most iconic early body styles and turns it into something far more rowdy. Showing just 470 miles, it blends upright Model A proportions with the ingredients enthusiasts expect from a traditional street rod: a 302ci V8, 4-barrel carburetor, automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive, aftermarket suspension, and a custom exhaust system. What really gives this car its personality, though, is the visual treatment. The Lilac Metallic finish, custom devil and flame airbrush artwork, black vinyl roof, chrome trim, and polished wheels make it the kind of hot rod that stands out immediately rather than trying to imitate a factory restoration. The rebuilt title brand should also be noted.
Few cars capture the spirit of American hot rodding quite like a 1933 Ford three-window coupe, and this 1933 Ford Model 40 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod leans fully into that tradition. Showing just 4,563 miles, it pairs the unmistakable proportions of a prewar Ford coupe with a seriously upgraded mechanical package centered around a 383ci stroker V8. Holley Sniper EFI, a 200-4R 4-speed automatic, four-wheel disc brakes, Vintage Air climate control, aftermarket instrumentation, and a fully reworked interior make this much more than a nostalgia piece. Finished in a custom Firehouse Red paint job, it has the stance, sound, and visual drama enthusiasts expect from a proper hot rod, while incorporating the kind of upgrades that make it far easier to enjoy beyond the show field.
