Vehicle Description
2008 Ford Mustang GT500 Convertible
If you talk to a car enthusiast about the Ford Mustang, you'll get
a few nods of appreciation. When you talk to anyone about the
Shelby Mustang, you're going to see some jaws drop and maybe even
hear some low whistles. The Mustang is an American icon. Shelby is
an American legend. The Shelby isn't a car people dream about
owning - it's a car people dream about seeing in person.
For consignment and your visual, auditory, and seat of your pants
enjoyment, a 2008 Mustang Shelby GT500 in droptop form built to
mimic the Super Snake. So named because you can expect the output
of the engine to be 500hp, but that was when this Vapor Silver and
black striped snake was stock. It's far from stock now with a
myriad of tasteful bolt ons and a tune that ups the ante from a
tire shredding 500hp to an earth rotating 768hp at the tires. This
was a one owner, garage kept, weekend driver,now it's time to pass
along this 1 of 223 Vapor Silver venomous snake to a new home to be
fully enjoyed.
Exterior
A proven but not abused 36,763 original verified miles, renders
this 14 year old muscle car in near showroom condition. Dipped,
(not literally), in Vapor Silver clearcoat, then slapped, (not
literally), on some unique GT500 badging, black decal stripes from
the lower front bumper over the hood to the rear deck spoiler, and
you are looking racy. This legendary car has a drop top in black
cloth, and it moves up and down flawlessly via a switch. The body
panels are razor straight and have very consistent gaps. Up front
is the air extractor aluminum hood, body integrated headlights, and
fog lamps, all of which are highlighted by the Shelby specific semi
oval snake badged grille. Quad 18-inch blacked out aluminum wheels,
and black GT 500 rocker stripes that stretch between them on both
sides frame the lower sections of this modern muscle machine, now
you are in Shelby heaven...I'm snake bitten!
Interior
A swing open of the doors will reveal a pair of sport buckets in
black leather and black tuck and roll inserts. Some power movement
seat options mixed with manual options, and you'll get it "just
right" baby bear. Look in the back and you'll note 2 extra seats in
the 2 plus 2 formats, in other words 2 more butt grabbers for the
audience that will witness the speed show. A basket style light bar
has been installed which gives a great look with the top down.
"Round" would be the theme on the dash with round gauges called
"light-toned" and including a boost gauge AKA the ass kicker gauge
and wideband on the A-pillar and a Shelby pod atop the dash with
more white face gauges. Air-conditioning emanating of course from
round ball style vents and a Shaker 1000 Audio system with
AM/FM/CDx6 and MP3 Capabilities. Drop the top, crank the tunes, and
hit the loud pedal...now you are shakkin!
Drivetrain
Under the heat extractor hood and between the shock towers lies a
5.4 Liter DOHC 4V supercharged V8 with fuel injection for the
fossil burning. A mere 500hp wasn't enough for our consignor, so
the wick was turned up just a bit with a cold air intake,
performance camshafts, and a Kenne Bell supercharger which now
produces a dyno proven 768.5 tire shredding ponies, or should I say
snakes. All this power blows back the power to a 6-speed TR6060
manual tranny and Ford 8.8 inch 3.31 TracLok axle. The fuel system
has now been upgraded for the boost in ponies and now you are
rollin!
Undercarriage
Showroom condition visually and structurally with a lowering kit
installed for the independent coil spring front suspension and 3
link with panhard bar and coil spring rear suspension. Brembo high
performance power disc brakes are on the front and standard Shelby
discs are on rear, and full-on ABS and traction control for when
you feel a little goosey with the boost in the wet. A dual exhaust
system with a Borla cat-back muffler set up is on for your auditory
pleasure and we note a 1-piece aluminum driveshaft. Now you're
thinkkin...
Drive-Ability
An overall great experience that will put a smile on your face, and
a crease in the butt of your pants (and hopefully that's all) with
great acceleration and handling. This car shifts smoothly, and runs
just fine..YOWZA!
A well sorted machine with many tasteful and powerful upgrades that
can be broken down by production numbers in multiple ways...no
matter which way you look at those numbers this is a rare snake.
However, your dreams of a blue oval muscle car are right here in
our Hallowed Halls, (in snake format), in menacing black, with
768hp and seating for the family, you're thinking grocery gettin,
trips to the shore, night out to dinner... to pass it by the
significant other...arent you? Now you're.... smile'n...
