Vehicle Description
2009 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Coupe
"The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 was a testament to Ford's enduring
partnership with the legendary Carroll Shelby. This high
performance variant of the Mustang lineage was celebrated for its
formidable power, aggressive styling, and track inspired
enhancements. Building upon the rich heritage of the Shelby name,
the GT500 offered enthusiasts a mix of modern engineering and
classic muscle car appeal." Carbuzz.com
For consignment, a 2009 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 coupe with a
title verified 2,109 actual miles, a one owner car that's been
garage kept and driven in nice weather only. This one's barely
warmed the oil and is like stepping into a brand new car that just
happens to be 16 years old. Only 3,004 Shelby GT500's were produced
in 2009, even after successful runs of three times that number in
the previous two years.
Exterior
Performance White with Vista Blue Shelby stripes adorn this GT500,
the muscular stance of which is enhanced by 255/45ZR18 tires in
front and 285/40R18's on back and they are the original equipment
tires. The black grille, chin spoiler, hood vents, 18-inch wheels,
and rear splitter create an impressive presence and it's one of
those cars you see in traffic and know immediately it's not your
average Mustang. The iconic Cobra on the sides and the legendary
name across the back confirm your suspicions, black sport mirrors
cling for dear life on the outside and black trim encircles the
bottom of the car from the front spoiler to the rockers to the
splitter. Big chrome tips peek out from under the rear valance and
the coveted Cobra mock gas cap shines big and bold, visible to
those you pass, and there will be many. As a pampered low mileage
car, we didn't expect many flaws and our expectations were exceeded
by finding none.
Interior
Inside, the monochromatic design is dominated by familiar Charcoal,
beginning with plastic molded door panels with padded insert,
speakers, and storage built on the bottom floor of the armrest/door
pull. The leather bucket seats wear a Cobra emblem, skillfully
stamped into the seat back like a ghost flame, surrounded by ample
bolstering and perforated tuck and roll inserts. The seats look
new, not surprisingly, and the back 2+2 seating looks untouched.
The steering wheel is a thick ergonomic delight, sculpted to fit
the hands in different places and offering a splash of color with
red cross stitching. The gauges are a no nonsense collection in a
simple to read cluster, backlit in blue with red needles, and the
center stack contains a Shaker 1000 AM/FM/6 CD radio and a three
knob A/C controller. A stout shifter wears a gray leather boot with
red stitching based on a smooth center console that includes the
requisite cupholders. Low pile black carpet below is in fine shape,
accented with Cobra carpeted mats, and the foam backed charcoal
headliner is in excellent condition. The trunk is finished in gray
cloth panels and houses a substantial subwoofer unit.
Drivetrain
The heart of this snake is the 5.4 liter DOHC supercharged V8, an
impressive piece of machinery that remains spotless in the bay and
generates 500 horsepower. The gears are rowed through a T56 6-speed
manual transmission and power is received by an 8.8" Ford rear axle
with 3.31 gears and TracLoc. Power disc brakes are requisite and
Brembos are standard on this performer up front.
Undercarriage
The underside of the car is super clean with barely a sign of ever
being driven and some typical surface rust on the axle and
driveshaft. The dual exhaust flows from a pair of catalytic
converters through a free flowing H-union, then to original
equipment mufflers then lead to an exit via chrome tips. MacPherson
struts make up the independent suspension in front while a 3 link
with coil springs and a panhard bar are out back. No oil, no
grease, no dirt, you could pretty much eat off the surface of the
undercarriage.
Drive-Ability
Sitting in the seat of Shelby GT500's is always serious business,
embodied by the supportive seats, grippy steering wheel, and fluid
clutch. And of course, the roar of the exhaust. We grab the reins
and trot this pony out of the stable, careful to not allow its full
thoroughbred desires to be unleashed on our tame test loop. We
rowed through the gears and as expected, the acceleration is
ungodly and it's important to keep the hooves planted, especially
on original tires. Everything worked as it should and there are not
many cars that evoke this feeling of power while remaining
completely streetable at low speeds. Daily driver, sure, weekend
E-ticket ride, absolutely! While Classic Auto Mall represents that
these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we
cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of
your purchase.
In a world filled with Mustangs, the Shelby GT500 sprints to lead
the herd. Here's an example of an ultra low mileage car that's
barely been out of the stable. This is your time to saddle up to
the Mustang you've always wanted! You can pump the brakes right now
or put it in gear and hit the gas. The choice is yours! Snakes and
horses have never looked so good together!
