For Sale: 2005 Ford Mustang Shelby CS8 in Lutz, Florida
The name Carroll Shelby already makes enthusiasts' weak in their
knees. And when you can get a car that's so rare that all the
documented examples can be counted on your hands, then you know you
have something truly special. So you might want to quickly read all
the details on this Ford Mustang Shelby CS8 before this
affordably-price rarity is gone.
The story goes that Carroll Shelby wanted to remind the world he
was the top dog in performance-oriented Mustangs. So he created the
CS6/CS8 program. They took the new fifth-generation car and gave it
a serious does of mean machine. The kit included a new bumper with
deep chine spoiler, a performance hood with seductively deep
venting, hood pins to contain all the power, side scoops, a large
full-width spoiler, and 20-inch official Shelby wheels on a lowered
suspension. And just in case people already didn't know it was
special, the Shelby name appears on the new grille, across the rear
deck, and along the door on the unique custom graphics package. It
all looks particularly nice because this car is correctly finished
in its factory Sonic Blue Pearl. And the reason to cherish the
originality of this coupe is because there are only nine documented
CS8s in the world.
The interior remains the same fantastic Mustang you've grown to
know and love...with some nice upgrades, too. After all, that
Carroll Shelby signature on the passenger side dash is worth it
already! But even the practical elements are attractive. The
sculpted leather buckets are all-day comfortable; the instrument
panel is equal parts retro and state-of-the-art; and the packaging
job on the airbag steering wheel is a retro masterpiece. As a
Shelby, you're upgrade with a signed, numbered plaque on the dash,
as well as a Hurst cue ball shifter. Plus, you get a loaded Mustang
equipment list that includes air conditioning, power driver's seat,
cruise control, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, and a
powerful Shaker AM/FM/CD factory stereo.
Under the hood is exactly what you want to see. It's a clean and
mean 4.6-liter modular V8. This numbers-matching motor has always
been a darling straight from the factory, delivering a
fuel-injected 300 horsepower. So sure, the affordable price of this
CS8 leaves plenty of money left in the budget for some supercar
upgrades. Then again, you'll already be pleasantly surprised how
this one is already exceptional quick right from our showroom, and
the dual exhaust note is thunderous. Best of all, you have complete
control over this modern V8 thanks to the five-speed manual
transmission. Plus, with power steering, modern ZR sport tires, and
drilled & slotted four-wheel disc brakes, you're looking at a
terrific total package.
