2018 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350

Description

This 2018 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 was part of a true performance revolution. It's the kind of car that reset the bar for Mustangs, American cars, and exotics around the globe. So you just know we will someday hold this in the same esteem as the original Shelby GT350. And now that Ford has finished this chapter, it has sent collectors looking for prime ultra-low mileage examples like this. So just to understand, it's like Ford dunked the whole car in performance awesome sauce, and this is your fleeting chance at one that still has the new car smell.

Orange Fury Metallic is the paint. This optional color sets the right attitude by both its name and its vibrancy. After all, with less than 2,700 miles on the odometer, you know this one-owner coupe did not come out for the garage to play very often. Against this bold color is a terrific blackout accent package with the special 19-inch wheels, full aerodynamic body kit, full width rear spoiler, rear valance, and optional black roof. And of course, we all instantly notice the black racing stripes. It was another optional extra, and they were worth every penny because they are a constant reminder of how track-ready this car always is.

More of that irresistible darkness continues inside. But where the exterior was about performance, there's also luxury added in here, too. This is loaded with features like leather upholstery, power front seats, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/ignition, dual front airbags, side airbags, cruise control, power steering, and dual-zone automatic A/C climate control. This was optioned with the Technology Package, and that means the touchscreen infotainment system is your command center for the AM/FM/CD/XM stereo, backup camera, Bluetooth, and satellite navigation. An Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel has the feel of a purebred racecar, the top of the dash is dominated by the essential dials, and the shifter is where you always want your right hand to be. And just in case you forget how special this car is, there's an individually numbered plaque above the glovebox.

The 5.2-liter fuel-injected V8 is a hand-built engine. So just like the best exotic cars from Europe, Ford was able to have a signature plaque from the person who built it. Ford needed to figure out a way to make sure we all knew this powerhouse was an unstoppable force of the universe, and so they called it the Voodoo motor. The flat plane crankshaft design allows this one to be a strong revving machine, and the 526 horsepower is the most powerful naturally aspirated motor Ford has ever unleashed on the streets. Best of all, the six-speed manual transmission puts the power firmly in your hands. The MagneRide damping, Torsen rear differential, Michelin Pilot Sport tires, and the fully independent suspension all come together to make an awesome car that knows how to stick to your favorite blacktop like glue. And the Brembo four-wheel discs brakes bring all the action quickly to a halt.

Because this is a car for collecting, the sale comes with the right documentation, including the original window sticker, dealer invoice, and owner's manual packet. It's all part of an irresistible packaging that will make you remember the car today, and only regret it if you don't take it home tomorrow.
