For Sale: 2009 Ford Mustang in Lutz, Florida

With its great color combination and adrenaline-inducing performance that must be experienced firsthand to be truly appreciated, this 2009 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is an ultrasharp example of the iconic Mustang in optimized form. Having logged an unusually low 10,000 miles since it first left the factory, it's also in its absolute mechanical prime and stands ready to deliver an unbeatable driving experience for its next lucky owner.


Mustangs that have been fortunate enough to receive the Shelby treatment emerge with an aesthetic that's far more dynamic than any of their more common counterparts, resulting in curb appeal that's eye-catching and yet always tasteful. Each modification Shelby makes has its purpose and the Vapor Silver Metallic exterior that this '09 wears provides the perfect backdrop for all of them - the paint is in top form, with a great shine from front to back. Despite the obvious temptation that this rocket on wheels offers for extreme driving, it has steered clear of any collisions, so its exterior alignment is beyond reproach and its doors and hood shut with a reassuring thud. Take a closer look and you'll notice just how fresh its overall appearance is - clear window glass and fresh weatherstripping are strong indications that this car has seen consistent sheltering over the course of its lifetime.


While Shelby's modifications tend to center largely around performance enhancement and curb appeal, there's also evidence of this GT500's top-tier pedigree on display inside the doors. The sport bucket seats, along with the special edition steering wheel, bear the instantly recognizable Shelby logo and the upholstery in both front and back still features the deep pigmentation it left the factory with. A low-profile shift lever sits within easy reach on the transmission tunnel, surrounded by an unblemished center console, and the dash cap immediately above it is straight and clean. Comfort and convenience amenities include air conditioning that blows nice and cold, power seats, power door locks, windows and mirrors, and cruise control. Front and side airbags provide collision protection, and an anti-theft system helps deter anyone with bad intentions. A Shaker 500 AM/FM/CD stereo is on hand to offer a premium audio experience.


Of course, any Shelby carries lofty performance expectations and this GT500 more than meets them. It's powered by a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 that wields elite power, churning out 500 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque to deliver a 0-60 time in the mid-4 second range. The engine sits in a well-maintained compartment, with nothing out of place, and belts, hoses, and wires that look nice and fresh, and it pairs with a 6-speed T56 manual transmission to deliver an exhilarating, hands-on driving experience. When it's time to come to a stop, this enhanced Mustang features 4-wheel ABS power disc brakes with Brembo four-piston calipers up front, so it can get it done in a hurry - Motor Week noted that it only took 130 feet to go from 60 to 0 when it tested the car upon its release. Top-tier suspension components equip this car with excellent handling, but its agility doesn't come at the expense of ride quality - unlike many of its rivals with strong skidpad ability, it's a pleasure to drive in everyday conditions. This head-turner par excellence rolls on a set of 18" SVT wheels that are wrapped with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires still showing plenty of tread.


Exceptional power and tasteful, stare-inducing looks make this 2009 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 a definite must-see. Call today!
