Until the Ford Performance skunkworks finishes development on the Mustang Shelby GT500, the GT350 will have to suffice for those in the market for the maddest four-wheeled dopamine dispenser in the FoMoCo stable. The thing with high-performance machines such as a GT350 is that things can get badly wrong if you take such a car by the scruff of the neck.
Case in point - this wrecked 2016 Mustang Shelby GT350. Unfortunately for the curious amongst us, the Copart listing doesn’t describe how the car got in this condition. One reason could be that the owner underestimated the savagery lurking under the hood of this thing and tickled the loud pedal more than the grip allowed to. But then again, a Sunday driver in a Civic could’ve crashed headfirst into the GT350 at a junction.
Regardless of the reason, this 2016 Mustang Shelby G350 has seen better days. Even though the owner paid approximately $57,468 for it when it was new (or almost ten grand over the starting price), bids stand at $20,600 at the time of writing. Better still, the Shelby-ified pony in the featured photo gallery can move under its own steam and it is registered as a salvage vehicle.
Think about the opportunity and the possibilities that come with it. A little dribble of money for a 5.2-liter Voodoo V8 and a matching transmission? How cool would it be to drop those things in a T Bucket hot rod or any other project car you could think of?
It’s an opportunity worth seizing considering that Ford Performance doesn’t sell the Voodoo as a crate engine, only the block and matching cylinder heads. You’ve understood that right - no flat-plane crank for you. Without the crank, one cannot build an actual Voodoo V8.
Think about it and then decide if it’s worth bidding on this crashed Mustang Shelby GT350. You have a lot of time for thinking things through considering that the sale date is April 18 and the reserve hasn’t been met.
