Carroll Shelby and the Ford Mustang have an unshakable relationship that continues to this day, even after the great man’s demise. Shelby Mustangs are widely recognized as the most powerful, capable, and driver-oriented examples of Ford’s famous muscle car. When a Mustang bears the iconic Shelby branding and snake motif, it’s not just a cosmetic package but a holistic enhancement of everything that makes the car what it is. This 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is no different. Well, actually it is kind of different because this car is a 40th Anniversary Package endowed example from Shelby American Las Vegas. It’s said that only 87 cars had the 605hp upgrade, short-throw gear shifter, and 3.73 rear-end gears that this car packs. Furthermore, the current owner says that the car has $21,436 worth of upgrades that were added over the sticker price. Since the list of upgrades is too numerous to list, the current owner includes a helpful video that describes them all. So get yourself psyched, because you could be the lucky owner of this sub-25,000 mile, unique beast.

Exterior and Interior

This 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 comes in a paint code called Vista Blue, and it looks truly amazing to behold. The car includes 40th Anniversary badging, 20-inch American Racing Shelby Razor wheels, and new Pirelli P Zero tires, too. Then, we’ve got the iconic over-the-top stripes in silver, signaling that this car is not to be trifled with. When you venture inside, you’ll note plenty of Shelby motifs and the insignia, including on the gear knob, floor mats, and center armrest. However, perhaps the most impressive thing is the plaque that sits in the center console right between the air vents, informing all and sundry that this 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is indeed a 40th Anniversary model. Then, of course, you’ve got the usual conveniences, such as the powerful Shaker 1000 sound system with in-dash 6-CD changer, heating and air conditioning system, and, of course, the center console-mounted auxiliary gauges. Pop the trunk, and you’ll find twin subwoofers waiting to compete with the boosted V8 under the hood for sheer bass thump.

Engine

This 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 comes with a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 that powers the rear wheels through a manual transmission. It’s the perfect driver’s car, and it’s pretty tame, too. It is so tame, in fact, that you can use it as your daily driver during the week, then unleash its brutishness at the track or drag strip over the weekend.
