Vehicle Description
Ford's 2015 Shelby GT350R Mustang was a legend reborn, celebrating
the 50-year heritage of transforming Ford's iconic Mustang into an
all-out, street-legal track star. Like its 1965 R-Model
counterpart, production of the GT350R was limited to only 37 units,
but this time around, purchase was restricted to Ford family and
VIPs - making ownership a very exclusive affair. The GT350R's
special flat-plane crankshaft configuration and DOHC cylinder heads
allow the 5.2-liter engine to attain its 526 peak horsepower at
7,500 rpm, while redline is set at a screaming 8,250 rpm. The
chassis is equally adept, with numerous Shelby-specific components
and Ford's adjustable MagneRide dampers. The 6-speed manual
transmission channels power to a Torsen limited-slip differential
with 3.73 gears, and the brakes are track-spec Brembos all around.
The ultra-lightweight 19" carbon-fiber wheels are wrapped in
Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. Although the GT350R was available
in a totally bare-bones version, this car was ordered with the
GT350R Electronics Package, adding useful amenities such as Ford's
Sync 3, a 7-speaker sound system, dual-zone automatic air
conditioning, and navigation. Showing less than 200 miles on the
odometer, the car was prominently displayed in Bruce Meyer's
Beverly Hills Garage since he took delivery in 2015. Protective
plastic remains on the sill plates and carpeting, and the floor
mats are still packaged in the trunk. The Oxford White exterior is
unmarked and the interior, featuring lightweight Recaros, is
as-new. Included in this sale are all the original purchase
documents, owner's manual and supplements, both key fobs, the
replacement oil filter and special wrench, and an exclusive
presentation box containing a small metal replica of the flat-plane
crankshaft and limited-edition art prints. The Factory Safety
"Engine Oil Cooler Tube Assembly Replacement" was performed in
2017. From the Bruce Meyer Collection. **100% OF HAMMER PRICE TO
