2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 – A Legendary Supercharged Pony
The 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 represents a landmark in American muscle car history. As a collaboration between Ford’s SVT (Special Vehicle Team) and Carroll Shelby, the GT500 merged modern engineering with classic Shelby heritage. Sporting an original supercharged 5.4L DOHC V8 engine paired with a 6-speed TR-6060 manual transmission, this vehicle redefined performance, delivering a staggering 500 horsepower at launch. This particular GT500, with just 16,040 actual miles, stands as a testament to meticulous preservation, with standout features and unique details that set it apart from others.
A Rare Gem with Distinguished Provenance
This GT500 rolled off the Flat Rock assembly line in November 2006, finished in UA Ebony Clearcoat and accented by striking Tungsten tape stripes. It was originally sold at Westway Ford in Irving, Texas, and boasts a clean, five-owner CARFAX history with no reported accidents or structural damage. As one of only 1,690 produced in this paint code for 2007, it offers both exclusivity and authenticity.
Performance Features That Dominate
Under the hood, the supercharged 5.4L V8 breathes through stock manifolds, catalytic converters, and a stock X-pipe, but it sings through aftermarket Corso mufflers, adding a refined, throaty growl to its exhaust note. Supporting its ferocious power are 14-inch front Brembo brakes for exceptional stopping capability, complemented by a 3.31 limited-slip rear axle for optimal traction. Handling is enhanced by a strut tower brace and sway bars, ensuring a sharp, confident ride.
Exterior and Aftermarket Enhancements
This GT500 retains its original exterior appeal, with the UA Black paint showcasing remarkable depth and luster. Tinted windows and 20-inch American Racing Special Edition Shelby wheels (wrapped in staggered Nitto tires) add a modernized touch while preserving the Shelby character. The vehicle’s undercarriage and engine bay are described as “all original and showing very well,” indicating an impressive level of care and preservation.
Luxurious and Well-Equipped Interior
Inside, the GT500 is adorned with GW Charcoal leather sport bucket seats, blending comfort with a race-inspired design. The cabin is equipped with a Shaker 1000 Audio System, offering superior sound quality via an in-dash 6-CD changer. Additional features include:
Factory air conditioning (cold and functional)
Power windows, locks, and 6-way driver’s seat
Cruise control, tilt column, and intermittent wipers
Rear defroster and keyless remote entry (two keys, one functional FOB)
A Driving Experience Like New
Mechanically, this Shelby GT500 is reported to “run and drive like new,” with all key systems—power steering, brakes, and drivetrain—operating at peak performance. A recent inspection confirms the car’s readiness, with fluids topped, tires at the proper pressure, and the battery charging perfectly. Notable for its original factory components, this GT500 retains its authenticity while delivering exhilarating performance.
Historical Significance
As one of the early models in the fifth-generation Mustang lineup, the 2007 Shelby GT500 was pivotal in reviving the Shelby nameplate. It successfully bridged the gap between vintage Mustangs and modern-day performance cars, securing its place in the pantheon of automotive legends.
