This is probably the automotive giveaway of the year. It is a one-of-one Shelby Mustang GT500 Heritage Edition. All those who dream of having it in their driveway have to make a donation. $25,000 are also included in the giveaway.
It is a brand-new 2022 Shelby GT500 Heritage Edition customized by Ford Performance during the last year, the S550 generation was in production, which turns the car into a very rare collectible. The year before Ford launched the S650, no Mustang rolled off the production line in order to make room for the upcoming generation.
The car comes as a tribute to the 1967 Shelby GT500, with a starting price of $72,900. The stripes done by hand translate to an extra $12,140. But considering the very low availability of the limited run of only 255 units, the only way for that price is up.
This model features a unique configuration. It wears the head-turning Brittany Blue and is equipped with the Carbon Fiber Track Package. The package brings 20-inch exposed carbon fiber wheels with Michelin Pilot Cup Sport 2 tires and the GT4 track wing.
Meanwhile, massive Brembo brakes, the most powerful in a production Mustang, provide the stopping power.

It also comes with the Technology Package and painted white stripes, which Ford Performance customized with blue painted pinstripes.
Based on the sixth-generation Mustang, the car is set in motion by a Ford supercharged 5.2-liter V8 Predator engine, pumping out 760 horsepower and 625 pound-feet of torque, which is supercar territory. A dual-clutch transmission sends output and torque to the rear wheels.
It is designed to be the ultimate sports car regardless of where the driver takes it: track, winding roads, or highway. The model is equipped with the MagneRide damping system.
The Shelby Mustang also sports the Technology Package, which includes a Bang & Olufsen Premium Sound System.
In order to drive this car home and park it in your driveway, you have to make a donation to the Shelby American Collection, a move that sends you straight into the drawing. The fundraiser supports the Shelby American Collection car museum in Boulder, Colorado, which is a non-profit volunteer organization. Participants must know that the more they donate, the more entries they receive.
TapKat, the ones organizing the giveaway, are also throwing $25,000 into the game to help the future owner with the taxes. Those who enter the drawing before March 3 are also eligible to receive a trip to Las Vegas and drive a Mustang GT500 on the track in the company of a friend.
The drawing is set to conclude on August 25, 2024. That is when we will find out the name of the one who will be driving off with the 1-of-1 Shelby Mustang GT500 Heritage Edition and $25,000 in their bank account.
