2008 Ford Shelby GT500 Coupe

Vehicle Description

Mashburn Motors is pleased to offer this exceptionally preserved 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 with just 14,130 original miles. Finished in beautiful Vapor Silver Metallic with Ebony Le Mans stripes, this two-owner GT500 has a clean, accident-free CARFAX and remains remarkably original, unmodified and unmolested — something becoming increasingly difficult to find among these early modern Shelby GT500s. Under the hood is Ford's supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V8 producing 500 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, backed by the original Tremec 6-speed manual transmission. The engine compartment remains factory in appearance, right down to the original air intake and supercharger arrangement. No cold-air intake, aftermarket pulley, tuner, exhaust system or collection of modifications to undo — this is the way Ford and SVT built it. The condition is exceptional throughout. The Vapor Silver paint and factory-style Ebony stripes present beautifully, the original GT500 wheels are outstanding, and the exterior shows the kind of preservation expected from a carefully kept 14,000-mile automobile. The black leather interior is equally impressive, retaining its original Shelby seating, factory Shaker audio system, instrumentation, trim and virtually every detail that made these cars special when new. Even underneath, this Shelby tells an honest story. Rather than having been cosmetically refinished or sprayed to look new, the undercarriage remains remarkably original, showing factory finishes, labels and components along with only the minor natural aging one would expect from an 18-year-old automobile. It's exactly the kind of underside we like to see on a genuine low-mile collector car. Documentation is another strong point. Included are the original window sticker, Ford/SVT documentation, owner's materials, keys and remotes, and the Ford SVT certificate. That certificate identifies this car as #5,973 of 6,513 GT500 coupes produced for 2008 and #900 of only 971 manufactured in Vapor Silver. The original window sticker shows an MSRP of $46,120 including destination, with desirable equipment including the GT500 Premium Trim Package, HID headlamps, Ebony tape stripes and full vehicle cover. The 2007–2009 Shelby GT500 has become an important part of modern Mustang history. These cars marked the return of the Shelby GT500 name and combined unmistakable retro Mustang styling with a hand-built supercharged V8, 6-speed manual transmission and 500 horsepower — serious performance then and still serious performance today. There are plenty of GT500s available that have accumulated miles, been modified, tuned, pulley-swapped and subsequently returned to stock. Finding one with just 14,130 original miles that has simply remained the way Ford built it is an entirely different proposition. This is an excellent example for the enthusiast who wants to drive and enjoy one of these cars, and an equally compelling automobile for the collector who values low mileage, originality, documentation and preservation. 14,130 original miles. Vapor Silver. 6-speed manual. Supercharged 5.4-liter V8. Accident-free history. Completely stock and unmolested. Original window sticker and SVT certificate. That's a hell of a nice package.
