Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this lethal but
beautiful 2008 Shelby Mustang GT500. No other name in American
automotive history invokes a response like Carroll Shelby. The
Shelby touch on a "secretary's car" was magic for Ford Motor
Company starting in 1965 and still is today. 489 red GT500s were
produced in '08 but this one has gone through some maturing over
its lifetime. Taking the 5.4l well past its factory 500hp rating is
a Kenne Bell Mammoth Supercharger and Afco intercooler. A McLeod
dual clutch and one piece aluminum driveshaft transfer the power to
3:73 rear gears. Tokico adjustable shocks, BMR rear suspension
upgrade, Ford one inch lowering springs, Shelby 50th anniversary
Alco wheels, and Continental Extreme contact tires keep the stance
on this Shelby right where it needs to be. Before bringing his
Shelby to Gateway, the current owner changed the oil in the engine
and supercharger as well as installed a new battery and alternator.
And just in case your wondering, the owner isn't a 30-something
street racer, but a seventy something retired school superintendent
who speaks fluent Ford and has babied this beauty. You'll find this
low mile Mustang sitting on the main showroom floor at the Tampa
location. For the money, the mods, and the condition, you can't
beat this Shelby! This 2008 Shelby Mustang GT500 is listed by our
Tampa Showroom and can be viewed in greater detail including 100+
HD pictures and an HD video at www.GatewayClassicCars.com. For
