Vehicle Description
It's not that often that we get to experience that 'new car smell'
here in our showroom, after all, brand new cars don't exactly put
the 'classic' in Streetside Classics. But every once in a while, a
late-model car comes along that's so darn impressive it's an
instant classic. This 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 is a car built
from that very mold, dressed to impress and packing a special 5.2L
V8 motor (aka the Voodoo V8) augmented with a Whipple Supercharger.
Wearing traditional Shelby rockstar colors and showing only 4,649
actual miles on the clock, it's about as new as you can get in a
'used' car, which means whoever buys this Pony next can be the
first to really break it in.
The Deep Impact Blue Metallic paint draped over the updated 6th
generation design of this stunning GT350 has an unbelievable shine,
and as you'd likely expect from a car that's logged fewer than 5k
very careful miles, it's looking incredibly sharp. The gorgeous
finish really speaks for itself, with an unparalleled depth and
luster only found on high-end modern cars, and it's further
punctuated by the classic Shelby stripes down the middle and the
updated C-stripes at the profiles. You also get an aggressive front
fascia that features a grille akin to the GT350R with fewer
openings (and therefore less drag), a vented hood, and a front chin
spoiler/splitter that continues into ground effects that encircle
the car and incorporates the rear diffuser - adding a dark contrast
to the vivid blue paint. Out back, that rear diffuser houses twin
pipes at each side, and atop the deck lid is a subtle rear spoiler
that helps with downforce without adding any drag. So yeah, every
nook and cranny of this Mustang was designed to make it go fast.
But they did such a good job, it looks like it's going 150 MPH just
standing still.
While this GT350 may sport a color scheme and power reminiscent of
Shelby's early 427 creations, its black leather-and-suede interior
offers a sharp, upscale appearance and all the features you'd want
for everyday driving. Having seen so little use, it's in immaculate
condition and looks pretty much as it did when this Mustang emerged
from the Shelby showroom. With the Shelby Exclusive Trim Package,
the contrasting white stitching against black leather-and-suede
surfaces gives the seating a great look and both the front buckets
and sculpted rear seats are still at their best. Unlike its
track-bound counterparts, there is plenty of comfort and
convenience on hand here, including power locks, windows,
heated/cooled power seats, cruise control, dual zone air
conditioning, a backup camera, voice-activated navigation, driver
and passenger side airbags and an anti-theft device to help ensure
this outstanding ride never leaves your possession. An
Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel puts several controls at your
fingertips, the sporty short-shifter practically begs for you to
bang through the 6-speed gears, and the bespoke plaques on the dash
proudly boast the car's Shelby production number, along with the
signatures of the professionals behind the build. This Shelby comes
equipped with the very expensive Technology Package, which means
you also get a Sync 3 touchscreen multi-media center in the dash
that offers both iPod and Bluetooth connectivity pumping tunes and
voice-navigation through the high-end speakers throughout the
cabin. Plush carpet and Shelby floor mats are fresh as can be, same
with the headliner, door panels, and fold-down rear seats, and the
car still has that 'new-car' smell to it, which is pretty amazing
after 5 years on the road. Out back, the trunk is modestly sized,
but there's plenty of room to account for most travel plans.
Modern day Mustang GTs offer a generous amount of horsepower in
their original configuration, but the enhanced 5.2L 'Voodoo' V8
holding court under the hood here occupies an entirely different
world. Armed with all of Ford Performance's best goodies, this
aluminum block is good for an otherworldly 526 horsepower (at the
wheels!), and that's even BEFORE you account for the Whipple
Supercharger that was added by the previous owner. Of course, all
that exhilarating power would be of far less use if preparations
weren't made to handle it properly, but that detail has been looked
after here. A 6-speed manual transmission and heavy-duty clutch sit
behind the engine, while a custom damping system, MacPherson
struts, an independent rear suspension, and dual stabilizer bars
are just a small sample of the long list of options the sport
suspension shows off underneath. The rear end not only features a
3.73 ratio that's ideal to take advantage of the 6-speed manual
transmission's capabilities, but also fortified Torsen axles rated
for even more power than what's on hand here. A safety loop
surrounds the 4" aluminum driveshaft as an added precaution, and
the stainless-steel exhaust system sounds absolutely wicked.
Four-wheel disc brakes that feature massive Brembo rotors bring
quick, low effort stops as this ultra-powerful Pony smokes the
asphalt on its set of 20-inch Shelby GT350 alloy wheels outfitted
with 285/30/20 front and 305/30/20 rear Michelin performance
tires.
This 1-owner, low-mileage 2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 offers the
chance to own an ultra-lightly used and superbly fortified version
of Ford's modern-day muscle car. Call today!
