deanodmax Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi guys, I'm new to the GT500 world & thinking of buying a low mileage used Shelby my max price is 40K. But I,m not sure of the changes over the years. So if anyone can give me a Shelby education on the important changes over the years that would be great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Some say Wikipedia is not a good source for information or may not be accurate. Only as good as the data load/data entry. But, it's certainly a good starting place to get grounded and it provides a good chronological view..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_Mustang As far as a low mileage used Shelby GT500, you ought to be able to find plenty of 2007-2009 models for that max price. Even with less than 10K miles. I did a quick search on CARS.COM and found 50+....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold my 7 month old 2010 back in "the day" with 5k miles for only $43.5k. These cars do not hold value. The asking prices you see on places like cars.com are not realistic.

I also found some 2010 and 2011 models for around 40-45K.......guess it depends what "low miles" means... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewarbc Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Thanks for the help, I really like the Kona Blue w stripes I see your profile states RI. Tasca Ford is in Cranston and I believe is an authorized Shelby Mod shop. The folks there might be able to guide you to some good finds too. I don't know anything at all about Tasca....seems like a very good and reputable place........just referencing it for you..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help, I ended up buying a stock 2009 Black w grey stripes 2800 miles for 40K. Now I just need to figure out which products for basic mods such as exaust, intake, pulley, tuning ect.
