2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible

Description

The 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 continued the revival of the Shelby–Ford collaboration introduced in 2007, blending classic muscle heritage with modern engineering. Developed by Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT) with Carroll Shelby’s influence, it featured a supercharged 5.4L V8 producing 500 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, delivering exotic‑level performance in an accessible package. Distinctive styling elements—Le Mans stripes, Cobra emblems, and an aggressive hood—reinforced its identity.

This 2008 Mustang Shelby GT500 is a convertible example finished in black with white Le Mans stripes. The supercharged 5.4L V8 sends power to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, while braking is aided by Brembo front calipers. Additional features include a power-retractable black soft top and front sport seats upholstered in black leather with embossed Shelby Cobra logos on the backrests, while subtle modifications include an aftermarket styling bar with integrated brake light and a touchscreen head unit linked to a Shaker audio system.

This Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible shows approximately 50,550 miles and is now offered with a clean CARFAX vehicle history report and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.
