Vehicle Description
2007 Ford Mustang GT500 (Stock #427) This 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby
GT500 embodies the passion of both Ford's SVT division and the late
Carroll Shelby, with performance, exclusivity and looks that result
in the ultimate factory-built pony car. With 500 supercharged
horsepower, a capable chassis and a slick-shifting six-speed manual
transmission, this instant classic continues to conjure historic
automotive fantasies. The seller of this 18,678-mile example has
listed several performance modifications that have been made and
receipts are provided. In addition, a certificate of authenticity
from Ford lists this as is one of 2,153 GT500 coupes built in Torch
Red. POWERTRAIN Under the vented aluminum hood, the supercharged
5.4-liter DOHC V-8 is factory equipped with an air-to-liquid
intercooled system to provide a denser air charge into the
cylinders via the 32-valve aluminum cylinder heads. Performance
upgrades, including a cold air induction system, overdriven
supercharger pulley and a high-performance harmonic balancer,
likely boost power output over the original 500 horsepower rating
at 6,000 rpm and 480 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm. An aftermarket
McLeod dual-disc clutch links power to the original Tremec TR-6060
six-speed manual transmission. The seller adds that all drivetrain
components are free of leaks or smoke and perform as new. EXTERIOR
Based on the images and statements provided by the owner, the Torch
Red surfaces on this 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 are in original and
preserved condition. The grille openings feature black mesh while
the deeply valanced front bumper cover and prominent Shelby logos
and SVT badges throughout promise speed and exclusivity. The white
stripes that flow from stem to stern are just as they were when
installed at the Flat Rock, Michigan assembly plant on April 5,
2007. The original alloy wheels sit on a staggered tire setup that
features Mickey Thompson Street Comp tries, size 255/45R18 in front
with Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S tires, size 285/40R18 in the
rear, with 2017 date codes. INTERIOR The Black leather interior is
said to be free of any significant or notable wear and appears as
new. The bucket seats and door panels are listed as original while
an aftermarket shift knob in red connects to the six-speed manual
transmission below. A numbered Shelby plaque sits on the instrument
panel while the 7,000-rpm tachometer that is emblazoned with the
SVT logo houses the digital odometer that reads 18,678 miles.
Ford's Shaker 1000 audio system with its AM/FM/CD changer sits
prominently below the leather-covered instrument panel. The seller
states that there are no odors or stains present and that
everything appears to be in good condition and all features operate
correctly. CHASSIS This 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 retains most of its
performance-calibrated suspension, including its original 34mm/24mm
sway bars and performance springs. To bolster traction, the
8.8-inch solid rear axle has been enhanced with aftermarket control
arms and adjustable shock absorbers. Brembo four-piston front
calipers finished in black with 14-inch rotors provide prodigious
stopping power and are linked to an aftermarket SLP line-lock kit.
The seller states that there are no issues present and that the
undercarriage appears to be free from corrosion. DOCUMENTATION This
vehicle will be sold on a clean Rhode Island title in the seller's
name. Additional paperwork includes receipts for some of the
performance upgrades and the original certificate of authenticity.
This 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 features the same sort of
outrageous power-to-weight ratio that made Shelby famous in the
Sixties, but with all the creature comforts, safety and reliability
we expect in a modern car. FINANCING AND DELIVERY AVAILABLE Rear
