Vehicle Description
2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Coupe
"When the supercharged Ford Shelby GT500 arrived in 2007, Shelby
Automobiles was ready. Working closely with Ford Motor Company, the
two companies offered the GT500KR through Ford dealers and the
GT500 Super Snake edition available directly from Shelby. A Shelby
1000 was introduced with even more horsepower and capabilities. In
2011, Shelby American brought the Shelby GT350 back to life with
the new 5.0L V8. For the first time since the 1970 model year, both
the Shelby GT500 and GT350 were available." Shelby.com
For consignment, a 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 coupe with a
title verified 7,563 actual miles. A three owner car that carries
100 horsepower for every liter of engine capacity and a history of
the car that's immediately apparent when perusing this car, inside
and out.
Exterior
Of the 3,545 2010 GT500 coupes delivered, just 225 were produced
with Grabber Blue stripes on Performance White paint, putting this
car in the middle range of commonality, but as a GT500, on the high
end of exceptionalism. The stripes are wide and bold and make a
distinct impression as they undulate over the front fascia, hop
over the air ducts on the hood, skim over the slick top roof, then
snake their way over the decklid, around the spoiler and down to
the license plate box. The blue also colors the rocker stripes that
spell out the model, GT 500. Keeping things grounded are 19-inch
five spoke argent gray wheels with staggered size tires. And
speaking of the back, the air defying rear valance carves out a
couple of tunnels to allow the big exhaust tips to exit like a pair
of trumpets. The Shelby Cobra emblem adorns every side of the car
to appease surrounding cars in traffic, as if other visual cues
didn't clue them in! Chin scrapes on the front air dam make our
list of noted imperfections while slight curb rash on one wheel is
the second and final flaw we note.
Interior
If all you saw was the black door panel with perforated vinyl
insert, you could be looking at any car presenting cleanly. But
turn your attention to the leather buckets in front and suddenly
the outside and inside merge as Grabber Blue stripes flow through
the tuck and roll inserts under the embossed Cobra emblem and high
head restraints. The deep rear 2+2 seats also wear the blue stripes
for a sporty profile the kids will love! The meaty steering wheel
features Alcantara at the hand positions and thumb button on the
horizontal spokes, leading to a blue lit instrument cluster
fantastically analog in its nod to the creations of Chuck Cantwell.
Modernity steps in with a center touch screen showing climate and
the functions of the Shaker 500 AM/FM/6 CD stereo with Sync,
navigation, and Bluetooth. Not to be outdone by the seats, the
shift knob wears a set of Shelby stripes along with the shifting
diagram spelled out over an Alcantara boot with white stitching,
and everything we've mentioned here is in like new condition. Low
pile black carpet clings to the floor and a foam backed gray
headliner conforms to the roofline beautifully while the trunk is
essentially pristine in its finished gray panels.
Drivetrain
The engine and bay are clean of course, and we're looking at the
monster 5.4 liter DOHC supercharged V8 rated at an astounding 540
horsepower. This is mated to a Tremec TR6060 6-speed manual that
sends a herd of horses to the Ford 8.8" in back with 3.55 gears and
TracLoc. Brembo front brakes are part of the four wheel power disc
set up.
Undercarriage
Wicked clean underneath with the typical surface rust on the rear
axle making it appear like Sedona stone, but all else is free of
rust and debris and many of the assembly line wax pencil marks are
still clearly visible. The dual exhaust runs through a wide X
union, then flows into original equipment mufflers then exiting
through angle cut chrome tips. Base suspension includes MacPherson
struts in front and a 3 link with coil springs and a panhard
bar.
Drive-Ability
This is practically a new car, so as we feather it onto the test
loop, there are no surprises. Obvious power is expressed through
the brawny exhaust note and the fat tired snake is sure footed in
straight aways and in turns. Shifts are short and crisp and road
feel is communicated through the low profile tires and track ready
suspension. All functions on board get a green light from us as we
slither back to the mall. 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.
Here's a low mileage GT500 in an exciting spec and like new
condition just begging to be driven. But first it has to be owned!
The legendary Shelby name carries with it an obligation to
performance and this car bears it out in spades. It is iconically
raucous and yet perfectly streetable. Despite SHELBY being strewn
across the rear decklid, this car really has your name written all
over it! Now we just need your John Hancock!
