For Sale: 2008 Ford Mustang in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT

"The original, mid-1960s Shelby GT350 began life as a Mustang that was built by Ford to a certain equipment standard, then sent to the Shelby American for a spa treatment. Carroll Shelby's hot rodders added bolt on, go faster parts for the engine and suspension, a few splashy bits to make it look racier, a Shelby ID number, those iconic Shelby stripes from nose to tail, and the rest is muscle car history. Fast forward to today, and, well, not much has changed." Car and Driver, September 2008

For consignment, a 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT with a title verified 21,951 actual miles. Headers, cam, modified intake and a Vortech supercharger is a spicy little recipe that results in 471.87 dyno proven horsepower on this blue wonder.

Exterior
Vista Blue was a new color for Shelby in 2008 and it's an obvious nod to the heritage of Guardsman Blue, here featuring silver taped stripes that flow from stem to stern and help identify this breed with rocker panel stripes. Rows of horizontal strakes make up the grille with the wire connectors of the hood pins making their way through, not far from the graphic representation of the car's generation number. Shifting our attention to the back reveals smoked tail lights, the Shelby faux gas cap, and girthy exhaust tips that almost guarantee some great sound based on looks alone! 19-inch Shelby CS5 wheels are fantastic here in argent gray and put away those checkbooks because these are ZR rated meats with a late 2022 date code. Now, they are not without some curb rash, but are great at allowing the blue brake calipers to be exposed to the world. Other imperfections include a few minor scratches and chips in the silver stripe, chin scrapes, and some other scuffs and chips.

Interior
Familiar S197 door panels don't veer from the GT car and we're happy to report that the vinyl inserts show some normal lumpiness but are fully attached at this point. Supportive black leather tall buckets show in great shape as does the 2+2 in back, all amongst monochromatic black surroundings. From the steering wheel forward, you'll feel like a mere mortal, but turn to the right and catch the added triple gauge cluster above the coveted Shelby plate with CSM number and Las Vegas production noted. From there, an AM/FM/CD player is integrated into the center stack above A/C controls that look like F1 knobs. A cueball handle tops the stout shifter in the center console and Shelby branded mats cover the black carpet. The solid roofed car has a perfect headliner and the gray paneled trunk looks unused.

Drivetrain
Here's the magic, a 4.6 liter 3 valve V8 with a Vortech V3 supercharger and Comp Cams NSR cams and when mixed with Fore fuel rails, it's a recipe that delivers 471.87 horsepower to the dynamometer. Behind it, a Tremec 3650 5-speed manual transmission that routes power to the Ford 8.8" rear with 3.73 gears and TracLoc.Kooks headers undoubtedly help with breathing and horsepower and are on board to start the exhaust process.

Undercarriage
Minor signs of some driving are present but overall this is a very clean and dry underside. Beyond the headers, the dual exhaust travels through original equipment to those pipes in back. Baer brakes supply the power disc units on all four wheels and suspension includes Macpherson struts in front and a 3 link with coil springs and a panhard bar in back.

Drive-Ability
The bump up from 319 horsepower is noticeable and the exhaust note hints at the power within. Beyond that, this is a streetable GT with a beast under the hood, ready to release the kraken with a blip of the throttle and a movement of the joystick. Not surprisingly, all functions operate on this low mileage example. 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.

We think Eddie Money said it best; "With all the power you're releasing, it isn't safe to walk the city streets alone. Anticipation is running through me, let's find the key and turn this engine on." If you can relate, give us a call.
