A well-preserved 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 convertible is drawing interest among collectors and enthusiasts, offering a blend of modern performance and classic muscle car character. The vehicle, showing just over 25,000 miles, remains in largely original condition and carries a one-owner history since new.
Finished in Torch Red with signature white Shelby racing stripes, the convertible reflects the styling cues that defined the return of the GT500 nameplate in the mid-2000s. Exterior details include Cobra badging across multiple points, a rear spoiler, functional hood vents, and 18-inch wheels fitted with performance-rated tires. The black canvas top and bodywork remain in strong condition, with only minor wear consistent with age and mileage.
Inside, the cabin features Charcoal Black leather seating accented by red inserts, maintaining the performance-oriented design of the model. The front bucket seats and rear seating area show minimal wear, while the dashboard layout includes a straightforward gauge cluster with red illumination and SVT branding. A Shaker 500 audio system, air conditioning controls, and a center console-mounted shifter contribute to the car’s factory-equipped feel. Subtle imperfections, such as wear on the driver-side door insert, are present but limited.
Power comes from a supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V8 engine producing 500 horsepower, paired with a T56 six-speed manual transmission. The drivetrain channels power to a Ford 8.8-inch rear axle with 3.31 gears and limited-slip functionality. Under the hood, the engine bay remains clean and retains factory markings, reinforcing the car’s originality.
The suspension setup includes MacPherson struts in the front and a three-link rear arrangement with coil springs and a panhard bar. Braking is handled by four-wheel disc brakes, with Brembo components at the front. The underside shows light surface wear typical of its mileage but remains structurally sound.
Offered at $34,900, the GT500 convertible represents an opportunity to own a modern-era Shelby that combines traditional muscle car elements, including a live rear axle, with contemporary engineering. As interest in early 21st-century performance cars grows, examples like this continue to gain attention for their balance of power, heritage, and usability. See it here.
