Description
Lot #649.1 - Production of the Ford Shelby GT350 in 2014 – its final year – ended with just 87 built. “The model’s limited production has long been part of its appeal,” said John Luft, president of Shelby American, at the time. “When this car was unveiled, we promised that the modern version of the Shelby GT350 would be available for a limited run. This decision was made to preserve the Shelby American-built GT350’s collectability and value. We've been preparing for this day since Shelby American launched this in 2010.” Shelby’s customization of the GT350 varied but began at $26,995 on top of the price of the car. Features of the souped-up Pony car included body add-ons, 19” aluminum alloy wheels, racing-style suspension, sport-tuned brakes and, for some, a supercharger, bumping the horsepower to over 600hp. Documented with a copy of the sales order from Shelby American, Inc., in Las Vegas, this GT350’s options totaled $46,752. It’s powered by a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine mated to a manual transmission. At the heart of the modifications was a black 624 FR Whipple supercharger and numerous other options, such as red brakes, FRPP suspension, matte black stripes and satin black wheels, upgraded cooling system, billet Watts link, GT500 rear spoiler, body-color block-offs, upper and lower control arms and premium floor mats (still in the plastic). The MSRP touched $98,224 for the car when it was completed and was offered by Ford Country in Henderson, NV. According to the one-owner CARFAX, this Sterling Gray Metallic Shelby with a Recaro black leather interior was first registered in Texas and subsequently serviced there. With an odometer currently reading just under 400 actual miles from new, it is still “in the wrapper,” with some plastic still apparent in the car. CARFAX shows Ford Motor Company manufacturer safety recall issued on 01/26/2019: Passenger airbag inflator replacement.
