There is no Shelby variant of the all-new Ford Mustang anymore, but if everything goes as planned, then we might be a couple of years away from meeting the upcoming GT500. For now, though, muscle car enthusiasts will have to settle for the normal GT or the Dark Horse as far as the S650 generation goes.
However, neither of these variants is as cool and fast as the previous-gen Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. Thus, if this model still gets your heart racing, and it should, as it is ultra powerful and supercar fast, then you should hurry up and buy one while it is still on the decent side of the second-hand market.
Do you remember that red copy we wrote about last weekend? It had only 91 miles (146 km) on the clock and still featured the delivery plastic wraps on the inside. As of the asking price, it was $139,900, which certainly is not bad at all for a brand-new Shelby GT500, especially since it is estimated to have set its owner back roughly $100,000 two years ago when it was purchased with the sole intention of being sold for profit.
Now, nearly $140,000 is steep, so if you want a previous-gen Shelby GT500 that costs a bit less, then this blue example might be the one you were looking for. Mind you, it doesn't have a little more than the delivery miles under its belt, as the odometer indicated 7,399 miles (11,908 km) at the time of cataloging. It features the racing stripes in white, has the optional Carbon Fiber Track Package, which was an $18,500 option back in the day, and has a black and gray interior with a red roll bar behind the seats.
Under the hood, it packs the usual supercharged 5.2-liter V8. The mill pumps out 760 horsepower (771 ps/567 kW) straight from the factory and 625 lb-ft (847 Nm) of torque. The output and thrust, as well as the clever chassis tune and aggressive aero, helped the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 deal with the 0-60 mph (0 to 97 kph) sprint in just three seconds. The quarter mile is a ten-second affair so long as the driver knows their way around this model and can handle all that power to perform a perfect takeoff.
Advertised by Garage Kept Motors, this Hellcat and ZL1 challenger (pun intended) is looking for a new home, and you will have to pay $114,900 to buy it. That's $25,000 less than the red copy we talked about a few days ago, and we don't know about you, but we think it is worth it. So, have you found your next ultra-fun machine to thrash occasionally, or will you search for a more affordable one?
