Vehicle Description
Being soft-spoken and carrying a big stick can be quite a bit of
fun. But sometimes, it's even more fun to walk right in to the
party, announce yourself and start waving the stick around. It's a
bit like the mindset of a great villain. Potential opponents know
your abilities from the moment they see you and, often enough, that
dissuades them from being opponents in the first place. That same
mindset can be applied to cars. If you pull up to the meet and see
something with exceptional modifications, like a stretched body or
big engine blistering through its hood, you're going to take that
car much more seriously than most. And that's exactly the point of
this unique Shelby GT500. With a Ford Racing suspension, a tough
Tremec transmission and a supercharged, 750 horsepower V8, the car
was already carrying a big stick. And after being fitted with a
custom leather interior and hand-fabricated wide body sheetmetal,
it's one proud and rowdy custom. Want some exclusive muscle that
you show AND enjoy? This incredible coupe is exactly what you've
been looking for!
BODYWORK/TRIM
Wearing shimmering Aston Martin Morning Frost Pearl under Pearl
Shelby war paint, this spotless Mustang is nine inches wider than
stock thanks to hours of custom bodywork. All the car's upgrades
were performed by Galpin Auto Sports of Van Nuys, California: an
outfit that undoubtedly knows how to churn out killer performance
machines. And like most of our low-mileage, factory-fresh pieces,
its appearance is as new in every conceivable way. The body's
hand-fabricated sheetmetal is 100% straight, framing functional
side scoops, sealed quarter windows and a lightweight Super Snake
hood. Familiar factory bits, like traditional Shelby emblems, HID
headlights and an extended deck spoiler give the build extra
credibility while items like color-keyed mirrors, a color-keyed
splitter and a color-keyed diffuser finish the look. And it all
boils down to one hot future classic that feels tailored and
substantial in comparison to its "lesser" counterparts.
ENGINE
Created as a turnkey package for enthusiasts who want a reliably
engineered Mustang that unlocks the full potential of Ford's
legendary 'mod motor', this top-of-the-line GT500 utilizes a Ford
Racing/Shelby supercharger to crank out an astonishing 750
horsepower! Front-and-center, the car's polished blower makes good
use of an SVT cold air induction system, which marries clean
aesthetics with excellent efficiency. At the sides of the engine,
dynamic Shelby coil covers join body-matched cam covers and billet
fluid caps to dress things up a bit. Those accessories are shaded
by a polished strut tower brace, which complements polished fluid
reservoirs and a polished battery brace. Naturally, the big mill
proudly displays a small SVT badge that verifies its authenticity.
Aesthetically, the spotless install features a typical OEM-level
appearance that displays hardly any signs of usage. And when you
twist the eager engine's key, you become the lead composer of a
veritable orchestra of sinister whines and octane-fueled roars!
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
As most performance car fans already know, this Mustang's SVT-tuned
chassis is nothing short of excellent. Upgrades begin with a Ford
Racing suspension that straightens the curves, progress to
Shelby/Wilwood brakes that scrub big speed, and end with custom,
3-piece Forgiato wheels that keep power to the ground. Behind the
smooth engine, a slick-shifting Tremec TR6060 6-speed sends power
to a limited-slip differential and optional 3.73 gears. At the
corners of the car, the aforementioned Wilwoods, which happen to be
red-detailed, 6-piston units, squeeze drilled and slotted rotors.
Turns come courtesy of Ford's super-efficient power-assisted
steering. Exhaust flows through large-diameter pipes to Magnaflow
mufflers and polished, quad-outlet tips. Naturally, Ford's standard
ABS and traction control systems are present and accounted for. And
all that first-class speed and agility rolls on the stylish
Forgiato kicks, which spin 295/30ZR20 Pirelli P Zeros in front of
335/30ZR20 Pirelli P Zeros.
INTERIOR
Inside this Ford, bolstered Recaro seats, wrapped in raised grain
Crimson Red hides, face a color-keyed, leather-wrapped steering
wheel that's adorned with convenient thumb buttons. The dash is a
familiar Mustang layout, which hangs satin-trimmed telemetry beside
pushbutton ignition and integrated Ford Racing accessory gauges.
Below those gauges, custom, 7-channel McIntosh audio combines 1,000
watts of power with 13 speakers to create pure sonic pleasure.
Below that stereo, a short-throw shifter leads a leather-wrapped
console that's detailed with a Shelby-branded lid. Beneath that
console, premium carpet flows past thick floor mats and Shelby foot
pedals on the way to lighted SVT sills. And naturally, all the
luxuries you'd expect in a high dollar modern car are ready and
waiting, including Cruise Control, power windows, power door locks,
power mirrors and Remote Keyless Entry.
