Vehicle Description
A collector's item from the moment they were announced, the 2007
Shelby GT500 convertible has always been desirable. Of course, it
only gets better on a 8,677-mile example like this one. That's
right! We could have put more miles on this car had we just driven
it once a year from our showroom to Road Atlanta for some fun! But
what that really means is this Shelby Mustang is your opportunity
to own a cherished example of the new muscle car class that was
produced by automotive royalty.
The Vista Blue on this snake-bitten Mustang is in such great
condition that you know it has lived a pampered, garage-kept life.
The whole convertible is a great modern representation of what
Carroll Shelby did to the original Mustang over five decades ago -
particularly because there's something special about a Shelby car
dressed in blue with white racing stripes. Plus, these take the
retro-look pony cars and make them more aggressive. The blacked-out
grille, hood vents, and black folding roof make for a perfect dark
side to this bright finish. Just in case the wide chin spoiler,
lower rocker side stripes, full-width rear spoiler, and SVT wheels
were not enough subtle hints for others to get out of your way,
Cobra badges on the grille, fenders, and rear gas cap are the
perfect announcement about how hard you bite back.
Inside, the black bucket seats might be cowhide leather, but
they've got Shelby's trademark snake embossed in them. There are no
scuffs on the door sills, no scratches in the dash, and the carpets
still look factory fresh - this was positively someone's baby.
Shelbys came only one way, loaded. This means power seats, power
locks, leather wrapped steering wheel, keyless entry, and cruise
control are all present and working perfectly. The stereo is the
premium AM/FM/CD Shaker unit that pumps out huge power, and it's
still modern enough that it comes with an input for your iPod.
Plus, a modern classic means modern safety features like anti-lock
brakes, dual front air bags, and side airbags. But the two features
we know you'll love the most are the power windows and power
convertible top. This means you can go from enclosed comfort to a
wind-in-your-hair experience without ever leaving the driver's
seat. And let's face it, with the sweet rumble this Shelby
produces, you're going to want to enjoy top-down motor for as long
as possible. That's why it's great to have the air conditioning
keeping you cool all through the summer season.
A 500 horsepower street car is serious business, and the GT500 more
than lived up to the hype. The fuel-injected engine is a variation
of the 5.4-liter supercharged V8 found in the Ford GT supercar. So
yes, you have serious street-eating power. And when mated to the
six-speed manual transmission, this Mustang offers enough
performance to keep Z06 Corvette owners looking over their
shoulders. The engine bay looks just like the way it was the moment
it rolled off the assembly line, and so you'll be glad to know it's
an all-original powertrain in this low mileage droptop. But while
the production stickers still seen in the undercarriage photos
remind you this car is at a collector-grade level, we know you
won't be able to resist adding miles to the odometer. After all,
with a sports suspension, thick sway bars front & rear, power
steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and Goodyear Eagle F1 tires, this
Shelby begs to be driven.
The sale comes complete with the original window sticker and
owner's manual packet. All of this paperwork is fun to review now,
and it will be exceptionally useful as this GT500 keeps growing
into a mature classic. That's really the point of this car in
total. It's a Shelby Mustang you enjoy on sunny days and know that
there will still be appreciated down the road. Call today!!!
