For Sale: 2008 Ford Mustang in Mesa, Arizona

There is something special about a true Shelby - it's not just about looks, it's about heritage, authenticity, and the badge that ties it all back to Carroll Shelby's vision. This 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT Convertible is one of those rare factory-modified cars, built in Flat Rock, Michigan and then shipped to Shelby Automobiles in Las Vegas for official conversion. With just 54,500 miles and its factory 4.6L V8 paired to a 5-speed automatic, it delivers the perfect balance of collector appeal and everyday drivability.

On the outside, this Shelby GT wears its factory-issued identity proudly. Shelby rocker panel stripes, hood scoop, hood pins, and badging distinguish it from a standard Mustang GT, while the convertible soft top adds open-air enjoyment. Factory 18-inch alloys wrapped in fresh Nitto 555 G2 performance tires (2023) set the stance.

Inside, you'll find a Shelby-numbered interior with leather bucket seats, a leather rear bench, and upgraded alcantara-style inserts that replace typical wear areas. Shelby plaques on the dash, a roll bar, and factory-style gauges give the cabin both pedigree and presence. It remains clean and well-kept, with only light signs of use consistent with mileage.

Under the hood sits the 4.6L 3-valve Modular V8 with electronic fuel injection, verified as numbers-matching. Power routes through a 5-speed automatic transmission and Ford's proven 8.8 rear axle with 3.55 limited slip. Shelby's suspension modifications - including Ford Racing springs, sway bars, and handling upgrades - give this car a sharper edge than the standard Mustang GT. Four-wheel power disc brakes ensure confident stopping, while the exhaust provides the distinctive Shelby soundtrack.

With its limited production numbers, authentic Shelby conversion, and clean mileage, this 2008 Shelby GT Convertible represents a true modern collectible. It's a car with both heritage and usability, ready to deliver weekend fun, top-down cruising, or a spot in any Shelby enthusiast's stable. Call today to arrange a closer look or a test drive.
