Description:

Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this lethal but beautiful 2008 Shelby Mustang GT500. No other name in American automotive history invokes a response like Carroll Shelby. The Shelby touch on a “secretary’s car” was magic for Ford Motor Company starting in 1965 and still is today. 489 red GT500s were produced in ’08 but this one has gone through some maturing over its lifetime. Taking the 5.4l well past its factory 500hp rating is a Kenne Bell Mammoth Supercharger and Afco intercooler. A McLeod dual clutch and one piece aluminum driveshaft transfer the power to 3:73 rear gears. Tokico adjustable shocks, BMR rear suspension upgrade, Ford one inch lowering springs, Shelby 50th anniversary Alco wheels, and Continental Extreme contact tires keep the stance on this Shelby right where it needs to be. Before bringing his Shelby to Gateway, the current owner changed the oil in the engine and supercharger as well as installed a new battery and alternator. And just in case your wondering, the owner isn’t a 30-something street racer, but a seventy something retired school superintendent who speaks fluent Ford and has babied this beauty. You’ll find this low mile Mustang sitting on the main showroom floor at the Tampa location. For the money, the mods, and the condition, you can’t beat this Shelby!
