This 2008 ford mustang shelby gt/sc convertible represents a rather rare opportunity to own a pedigreed shelby mustang, and a rare one at that. The shelby gt was an attempt to bridge the gap between the mustang gt and the shelby gt500, but along the line, this one was fortified with a shelby-installed hot rod 4. 6 liter v8 and a whipple supercharger, essentially making it a fully-documented, one-of-a-kind shelby. Ford only built the shelby gt in 2007 and 2008, and 2008 is the only year convertibles were available. Ford dealers had the option of sending their shelby gt to the factory for a supercharger upgrade, creating the gt/sc, and shelby records suggest about 100 cars were upgraded. This car was returned to shelby automobiles inc. In las vegas in 2010 for the supercharger upgrade, and while it was there, it also received a ford racing 4. 6l hot rod engine, heavy-duty clutch, and a number of other upgrades, all of which are documented by shelby automobiles and essentially making this a one-of-one shelby gt/sc convertible. It also has gray stripes and a modest body kit from shelby that make the shelby gt look unique, and with just 12,281 original miles, it remains in outstanding condition. Details like the billet grille, hood pins, and scoops in the rear quarters all recall the early shelby gt350, a detail which is surely intentional, but none of it seems over-done, another hallmark of shelby's work. The interior is pretty much stock mustang, which is a good thing. The charcoal gray leather upholstery is in excellent condition and just about everything was standard on the shelby gt. When the engine was upgraded with the supercharger, a trio of auxiliary gauges were added in a custom gauge pod that looks oem, and a few custom chrome touches dress up the monochromatic interior. The engine is the important part, so here are the details: 516 horsepower and 494 pounds of torque at the rear wheels, dyno proven. The three-valve 4. 6 modular motor from ford racing performance parts obviously slots right in there and it carries all the oem hardware and wiring, so it runs like a stocker. The chassis is like new and includes the ford racing performance handling package, which accounts for the lowered ride height and razor-sharp reflexes. Oversized shelby disc brakes with cross-drilled rotors and 6-piston front calipers ensure it'll stop as well as it goes and custom shelby-spec wheels carry 255/45/18 front and 275/40/18 rear performance radials. Fully documented with the window sticker, dyno sheets, shelby automobiles authenticity letter, receipts, and title documentation, this is one heck of a car. The rarity is simply icing on the cake.
