Vehicle Description
2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT Coupe
"After decades of licensed replicas, so called "continuation" cars,
and aftermarket conversion jobs done by dealerships and even the
Shelby American Automobile Club, our September 2006 issue told the
story of how Mustangs are once again being converted into Shelby
Mustangs at a Shelby Automobiles facility in partnership with Ford.
The first effort of the new venture, the famously black and gold
GT-H also signaled a renewed relationship with the Hertz
Corporation, bringing back the original Rent A Racer notion of
1966." Motor Trend magazine, March 2007
For consignment, a 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT coupe with a title
verified 11,987 actual miles, a one owner car that will include the
build sheet, window sticker, and original wheels and tires with the
sale. Only 5,651 Shelby GT's were produced in 2007 with 2,266 of
them white and the remaining 3,385 black.
Exterior
Silver LeMans stripes take the place of the gold stripes offered on
the GT-H renditions that sparked the production of two new
versions, this one in Performance White. Like ribbons on a birthday
present, these stripes start on the chin spoiler, run over the hood
and hood scoop, continue over the hood, then down the decklid,
spilling on the rear fascia and lower valance to frame the license
plate. The clean white side shines like a Beluga whale, interrupted
by the coveted Shelby words and strips over the rocker. No
outlandish scoops, no big wing, no extra vents, she's subtle,
lurking just under the radar but whizzing by in a white blur. More
white shark than Beluga whale if we're being honest. 18-inch
Bullitt wheels in argent gray are a nice touch here, wearing meaty
235/50ZR18's, while big exhaust pipes open up like twin Holland
tunnels in the rear. Some chin scuffs are the only imperfections we
find on the exterior.
Interior
Black leather comes together to make up the upholstery for the
front buckets and rear 2 plus 2 seats, with some slight wear
showing in the ingress points of the driver's seat. Tuck and roll
inserts and smooth bolsters adorn the seats which are not
demarcated like some special editions. A very simple dash houses
another queue from days past in the form of the dual circular
embedded instruments behind the steering wheel while an AM/FM/CD
player displayed on a center screen, AC, and traction control are
standard for your convenience and listening pleasure. Between the
twin vents topping the center stack is the coveted numbered Shelby
plate stamped with the man's signature. A chrome shafted Hurst
shifter sits in a center console that makes its way past the
buckets to the rear 2+2's. Nice clean black carpeting covers the
floors between door panels that do not veer from standard GT
configuration. The foam backed charcoal headliner is just about
pristine and the trunk is cleanly lined in gray flannel panels.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, a clean but obviously driven 4.6 liter 3 valve V8
trotting out 325 horsepower and set in motion via a Tremec 3650
5-speed manual sending power to the Ford 8.8" axle with 3.55 gears
and TracLoc. Drums are for music rooms, so this car is armed with
power disc brakes all around!
Undercarriage
The juxtaposition of clean components and reddish parts coated with
surface rust is quite dramatic. In particular, the rear axle and
driveshaft contrast with the blue sway bars and clean belly of the
car. Be that as it may, the underside is dry and the dual exhaust
meets a pair of Pypes mufflers before transforming into the wide
mouthed exhaust tips. Suspension consists of MacPherson struts in
front and a 3 link with coil springs and a panhard bar out
back.
Drive-Ability
Understated elegance meets a concealed weapon in this silver and
white wonder. It doesn't feel much different than a GT, that is
until you give it some gas and enter a corner where rigidity takes
over and the steering becomes crisp. There's obvious power afoot
and the cabin is generally a very nice cockpit to pilot. We note a
left front turn signal light bulb is out but not a big deal as all
other functions operate as expected. 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.
There's something pleasantly non racer boy look about this car.
Sure it has a hood scoop, stripes, fat tires, and an amazing
exhaust note. But it's also understated and wonderfully white, rich
in Mustang heritage and carrying the name of arguably the most
legendary performance influencer in history. It's also carrying a
respectable and fun 325 horses in this pony car and it does so with
compressed air being fed to it. That's old school performance in a
comfortable and modern package.
