This custom creation is modeled (and named) after the 2008 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR, which is itself an homage to the 1968 original. This is the only one with a more powerful engine capable of pushing the golf cart to 60 miles per hour (98 km/h). According to the seller, it was created for Amy Bolan, a former president of Shelby Automobiles. It even sports a "Mustang Amy" logo embroidered on the driver's seat, a feature the seller advises keeping if you want "collector's value.”
The original plan was to build 100 of these special little Mustangs, at a targeted MSRP of around $25,000 (€19,000). This particular model is a prototype, costing more than $50,000 (€38,000) to build and features custom black paint, Shelby embossed seats with the licensed Shelby logo, special 205/30/12 tires with custom made Shelby rims and the licensed Shelby Logo, signed Shelby steering wheel with Shelby licensed Logo (carbon fiber) and a AM/FM/Stereo/CD Player.
The headlamps, parking lamp, turn signals, tail lights and horn are all in working condition. If you are a lover and collector of Shelby automobiles, this is a must-have for your collection. Currently there are 20 bids, with the top offer sitting at $15,200 (€11,550), but the reserve has not yet been met. There's not much time left on this auction, so interested buyers are advised to bid soon.
