This 2008 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 was purchased new by the seller 14k miles ago and features a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Finished in Torch Red over a black and red leather interior, the car was reportedly modified by the original dealer at 5k miles with a 3.73:1 differential, ceramic-coated headers, a short-shift kit, an adjustable Tokico suspension, and more. This GT500 is now offered by its original owner with the removed stock parts, two sets of spare wheels, owner’s literature, a window sticker, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Maryland title in the seller’s name.

This example is one of 1,367 GT500 coupes finished in Torch Red for the model year. Details include front and rear spoilers, a white stripe kit, a cosmetic front hood pin kit secured with 3M tape, a carbon fiber front splitter, HID headlights, a short antenna kit, and revised GT500 fuel caps. The seller had a chip in the passenger-side of the windshield filled.

American Muscle wheels are finished in black with McGard wheel locks and wear Nitto rubber. Two sets of SVT machine-finish alloys are included in the sale. Brake updates include added front ducts and stainless steel lines.

The cabin is upholstered in black with contrasting red seat inserts and stitching. Cosmetics include GT500 sill plates, and the seller notes the driver’s door panel fabric is loose. The 500-watt stereo features Polk speakers and rests below a Shelby GT500 plaque with the etched VIN number and a Carroll Shelby signature. A fire extinguisher mounted in the passenger’s footwell, and the mount moves as the seat is adjusted.

A short-shift kit was installed and is topped by a white shift ball with an etched six-speed shift pattern. A LoJack kit and a trickle-charging cable are equipped. The digital odometer shows 13,900 miles. Both Takata airbags were reportedly replaced under recall in 2019. A sticker on the dash indicates that this car was used as the pace car for the 2008 Watkins Glen Vintage Grand Prix.

The supercharged 5.4-liter V8 was rated at 500 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 480 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm when new. Ford Racing Performance modifications installed at 5k miles are said to include a dual-fan intercooler with an extra-capacity external reservoir, a 170-degree thermostat, a cold air kit, ceramic-coated headers, F500S mufflers, and a 3.73:1 rear differential. The engine bay radiator cover was painted, and an upgraded shock tower brace was installed. The seller notes that the replaced stock parts, including the original 3.31-geared differential, are included. Service in July 2019 included an oil change and an inspection at a Ford dealership.

Ford Racing suspension updates installed at 5k miles reportedly include new upper and lower control arms, new suspension bushings, larger-diameter anti-roll bars, a new Panhard bar, and adjustable Tokico coilovers for a 1.25”-lower ride height.

The window sticker lists a total MSRP of $47,955, and an additional dealer sticker shows an additional $15k dealer markup. Two spare sets of SVT wheels with mounted tires are included in the sale, along with books, receipts, records, maintenance files, and a Shelby-branded car cover.

A certificate from Ford indicates that this car is #3,090 of 6,513 GT500 coupes built for the model year.
