Vehicle Description
Its pulse pounding power puts it in very select company and even
among those asphalt-melting counterparts, this 2008 Ford Mustang
Shelby GT500 offers a refined and comfortable driving experience to
set it apart from the crowd. This world class Pony is an absolute
rocket that, having only logged about 24,000 miles, is just now
reaching its mechanical prime, so it stands ready to provide plenty
of smile-inducing moments on the asphalt for its next lucky
owner.
Arguably more than any other manufacturer, Ford has always gone to
great lengths to equip its prized model with styling cues that
harken back to its illustrious past and this '08 is no exception.
From the signature snake badging ornamenting the front grille and
fenders, back to the pair of triple lens taillights, this Shelby is
instantly recognizable and comfortably familiar, yet still
undeniably special. Its magnetic red exterior is in very good form,
with magnetic red paint that offers an appealing shine and a
stylish appearance. A set of contrasting Shelby wheels adds a nice
bit of contrast - the original wheels are included with the car as
well - while the relatively subtle rear spoiler proclaims this
car's special status without going overboard on the aesthetics. On
those occasions when the weather won't cooperate with your open air
motoring plans, the black canvas convertible top stands by behind
the rear seats and features a clear glass rear window for maximum
visibility.
The black and red leather upholstery inside the cockpit is the
perfect complement to this Mustang's exemplary curb appeal and it's
in top form. Neither the front buckets nor rear bench seat show
much wear at all and an obvious history of careful sheltering from
the elements have left them looking fresh and unfaded. Between the
buckets is a center console that's in matching condition and
positions the low-profile shifter within easy reach of the driver.
Farther forward, all the gauges in the instrument cluster are in
good working order and crystal clear, and a quartet of in-dash
vents bring cooled air into the cabin via a climate control system
that's still in top form. At the center of the dash, the special
badging that includes both this GT500's vin number and the
signature of Carroll Shelby himself is really a sight to behold.
The factory AM/FM/CD stereo offers plenty of power for a great
audio experience and the included navigation system is a welcome
feature during frequent driving.
Beneath the hood, the 5.4 liter DOHC supercharged V8 is a beast of
an engine. Fed by functional air vents that team with a cold air
intake system, it's good for a full 500 horsepower - enough to
propel this Mustang to 0-60 times in the mid-4 second range when
Motor Trend first put it to the test. Beyond the obvious straight
ahead prowess on display here, the unusually refined street manners
this Mustang features make this car a pleasure to drive in any
situation - the accompanying 6 speed manual transmission is very
easy to navigate, the clutch action is seamless and the power
steering is smooth yet precise and responsive. A definite source of
envy wherever it may roam, this exceptional performance machine
rules the road on a set of show-stopping gloss black 20" Shelby
wheels that position sizable 285s in back for plenty of asphalt
gripping power - the original GT500 wheels are also included with
the car.
Exceptional power combines with a refined driving experience and an
iconic presence to make this 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 an
opportunity that doesn't come around very often. Call today!
