Adult owned, babied and rarely driven.Loaded with Navigation approx 3,500 miles.Ford likes to call the Ford Shelby GT500,  “500 horses with attitude”. The GT500 is one of those models that occupy a pride of place in the Ford pantheon. This muscle car’s history dates to 1965, the year in which the eminent car designer, Carroll Shelby created it. Initially named the Shelby Cobra, it was phased out after 1970, and made its comeback in 2007, the year of its fifth generation. Inheritor of the famous GT 350 brand, the 2009 Ford Shelby GT500 is a product of the collaboration between the Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) and Shelby. The company will produce about 10,000 vehicles per annum, and only for three years. For 2009, the GT500’s only notable addition is the availability of an optional glass sunroof. Engine and performance The GT500 comes with a supercharged, 5.4-liter cast-iron Triton V8 Sequential multi-port electronic fuel injection (SMPI) engine that runs on a rear-wheel drive and is mated to a six-speed manual transmission. At 500 horsepower and torque of 480 lb ft, it is the most powerful factory-built Mustang ever. Given a TR 6060 six-speed manual gearbox, this model comes in both coupe and convertible body styles. The engine is also given a powertrain control module. Some additions are given to this engine to keep it cool, such as a Roots-type supercharger that boosts the engine by almost 9 lbs per square-inch; aluminum heads; water-to-air intercooler and calibrated camshafts. Fuel economy is rated at 14 mpg city and 20 mpg highway. Build and Styling 18-inch aluminum wheels; unique hood with functional air extractors; unique front and rear fascia treatments; forward-leaning egg-crate grille; complex reflector halogen headlamps with integral parking/turn signal lamps; solar tinted glass; interval windshield wipers; day/night mirror; power side mirrors; power windows and 12-volt power lamps are some of the exterior features of the 2009 Ford Shelby GT500. For the interiors, the 2009 Ford Shelby GT 500 has 50/50 split-fold rear seat backs (for only the coupe) keyless entry; sport bucket seats with leather seating surfaces; Shaker 500 audio system with six-disc CD changer, MP3 capability and eight speakers; manual air conditioning; auxiliary audio input jack; speed control; leather covered multi-function steering wheel with tilt adjustment and a ventilation system; center console with full armrest and storage; battery saver; driver’s footrest; rear window defroster; front door map pockets; power door locks and front floor mats with driver’s seat retention hooks. Safety Features For safety, the GT 500 is given highly efficient Brembo front brakes that come with big, four-piston calipers and vented 14-inch discs for the front. An 11.8-inch vented single-piston caliper rear-disc setup with unique pad material is given for the rear. Other safety features of this model include side door intrusion beams; three-point lap/shoulder safety belts; Belt-Minder® System; LATCH; Personal Safety System for driver and front passenger; front seat side airbags and SecuriLock® Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS).
