Description
Lot #1292.1 - Ford reserved the first 50 2007 GT500s to be sold to Ford executives, family members and other very select buyers. Among those, the first few single-digit VIN cars were very specifically earmarked - including these two being sold as a pair, VINs 002 and 005. VIN 001 was immediately set aside to benefit Carroll Shelby's Children Foundation. To award the generosity of the buyer of VIN 001, Ford gave him the opportunity to also buy VINs 002 and 005, which he accepted. He was allowed to pick up all three cars personally at the assembly plant, with Carroll Shelby himself autographing them and presenting him with the keys. Once again, now 12 years old, VINs 002 and 005 are being offered for sale. Since they started life as a pair and the present owner does not want them to be separated, they are once again being offered as a pair. They both have the long list of options that are unique but standard on the new GT500, including the 5.4-liter supercharged 500hp V8 engine and 6-speed manual transmission. They are both finished in nostalgic Grabber Orange. They are still presented in good condition. VIN 002, the coupe, now has 163 actual miles, while VIN 005 has 83 actual miles. It comes with a Deluxe Marti Report. CARFAX shows Ford Motor Company manufacturer safety recalls issued on 05/27/2015: Driver airbag inflator replacement; and 06/30/2016: Passenger airbag inflator replacement.
