For Sale: 2008 Ford Mustang in Concord, North Carolina

In the world of muscle cars, few names elicit more of a visceral reaction than the name Shelby. After taking several decades off, Ford's SVT performance division decided to revive the venerable Shelby name. Spanning just three years, this 2008 Ford Mustang GT500 represents the midpoint of this iconic nameplate's resurrection.

Whether the functional hood scoops, subtle front lip spoiler, or the two full-length white racing stripes complementing its racy Red exterior, this follow-up to the Mustang Cobra does not disappoint. Inside, we find all the modern amenities of a modern muscle car. The big Cobra emblem on the three-spoke steering wheel announces to the driver that this is no ordinary Pony Car. A set of SVT gauges challenge you to play with the GT500's 160 mph speedometer or 6,000 RPM redline, while the odometer pleasantly reminds you that with just 57,349 miles actual miles on it, there is plenty of life left in this car.

That massive power is sent through a tried-and-true six-speed manual transmission before reaching the 8.8-inch Ford rear. Big 18-inch ten-spoke wheels sit shod in 255/45ZR-18 rubber up front and bigger 285/40ZR-18 units out back. When in stock, Motor Trend tested the GT500 from 0-60 mph in just 4.7 seconds, making it quicker than even any of its illustrious predecessors.
