For Sale at Auction: 2012 Shelby Mustang in Chattanooga, Tennessee

Chassis No. 1ZVBP8JS1C5227625

The 2012 Ford Shelby GT500 Coupe, a crown jewel in the Mustang lineup, is powered by a formidable 550 hp 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission, delivering blistering performance, launching to 60 miles per hour from a standstill in 4.1 seconds and tripping the quarter-mile trap in 12.4 seconds. The GT500's unique design elements, like a distinctive front bumper, grille, and 19-inch wheels, make it instantly recognizable from other Mustangs. Solidifying its sporting nature is true high-performance capabilities, such as its ability to pull 1.01 g on the skid pad with the SVT suspension or robust Brembo brakes for a short 103-foot stopping distance from 60 mph.

Presented in Grabber Blue with a Charcoal Black leather interior, this well-cared-for example is a highly original and unmodified example with just over 10,000 miles since it was new at the time of cataloging. Desirable factory options include the SVT Performance Package, which adds 19-inch front and 20-inch rear forged aluminum wheels, a Shelby rear decklid spoiler with a Gurney flap, a 3.73 ratio limited-slip axle, and a tuned stainless steel exhaust system with four-inch tips. Additional features include the SVT-tuned suspension, "Over the Top" stripe delete, "Tape Stripe" delete, and an aluminum hood with an air extractor.

Inside, the GT500 is equipped with modern amenities such as the Shaker 500 audio system, Sirius satellite service, SYNC voice activation, air conditioning, and a range of safety features, including AdvanceTRAC with ESC, ABS, traction control, and airbags for the driver, passenger, and side impacts.

This attractive, highly original 2012 Shelby GT500 captures the essence of Shelby's legacy with its powerful performance, advanced engineering, and distinctive design. Having completed a service in August 2023 that included an oil change and fluid check along with a new battery in October 2023, the car is a prime example for further enjoyment as intended by Carroll Shelby.
