Shelby - GT500 SVT Coupe - 1.071 Km only! - 2009

The Shelby GT500 represents the absolute pinnacle of the Mustang line of this generation, combining the classic American muscle-car tradition with technology developed by Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT) and the name of Carroll Shelby. The fifth-generation Mustang made a clear nod to the iconic Mustangs of the sixties, while the GT500 added a considerably more serious technical package.

Under the hood lies the 5.4-liter DOHC 32-valve V8 with supercharger and intercooler, paired with the rugged Tremec six-speed manual transmission. The 2009 GT500 delivered 500 hp from the factory and 480 lb-ft of torque and included Brembo brakes, a limited-slip differential, and a SVT-tuned suspension.

This example is distinguished in particular by its exceptionally low mileage: only 1,071 kilometers from new. The car is therefore in genuine collector condition and presents itself nearly as new.

According to the available history, the Shelby was originally ordered in August 2008 by the CEO of Samsung. The car was delivered new in 2009 and subsequently exported to South Korea, where it became part of a private collection. It was kept primarily as a collector's item and was rarely used. In February 2019, the Shelby was exported to the Netherlands. This history is supported by available CarVertical, registration documents, and CARFAX reports.

In addition to the particularly low mileage, this GT500 offers a number of attractive upgrades. The car is equipped with a Shelby GT500 Super Snake-style polished supercharger, cold-air intake, and additional performance upgrades, bringing power to around 620 hp. The interior also features sporty Recaro seats.

The combination of only 1,071 kilometers, the unusual ownership history, Dutch registration, extensive factory equipment, and performance upgrades makes this a very special specimen for the collector.

BODYWORK/PAINT:

The body is finished in UA Ebony, a particularly fitting color for the aggressive styling of the Shelby GT500.

Thanks in part to the extremely low mileage of only 1,071 kilometers, the bodywork is in an exceptionally neat collector’s condition. The car has spent most of its life in a collection and has been rarely used.

The paint presents itself very well, with a deep gloss and a finish suitable for the exceptionally low mileage. Body panels, seams, and joints are tight and well-kept. The bumpers, hood, doors, fenders, rear panels, and trunk lid are also in particularly good condition.

Characteristic of the GT500 are the distinctive front and rear bumpers, the unique upper and lower grilles, rear spoiler, and the aluminum hood with functional ventilation openings.

The car sits on the original 18 x 9.5 inch GT500 alloy wheels with SVT center caps, combined with the staggered performance tire configuration of P255/45ZR18 up front and P285/40ZR18 at the rear.

The lighting is further enhanced with the optional HID Xenon Headlamps, which in 2009 carried an original price premium of $525.

TECHNICAL:

The heart of the GT500 is the 5,409 cc supercharged and intercooled DOHC V8. Standard for the 2009 GT500 was 500 hp at 6,000 rpm and 480 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm.

This example is further upgraded and features a noticeable polished Shelby GT500 Super Snake-style supercharger, a cold-air intake, and supporting performance adjustments. The current engine power is therefore estimated at around 620 hp.

Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via the original Tremec six-speed manual gearbox. Contrary to the supplied technical base data, this is not an automatic; the 2009 GT500 left the factory with a Tremec six-speed.

The technical GT500/SVT specifications further include:

- Limited-slip differential
- Rear-wheel drive
- SVT-tuned MacPherson front suspension
- SVT-tuned dampers and springs
- SVT-tuned rear suspension
- Vented discs all around
- Brembo front brakes
- ABS and traction control
- Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering
- Stainless steel dual exhaust with tuned X-pipe

With only 1,071 kilometers from new, the car has remarkably low mileage. The very low odometer reading and its long stay in a collection are an important part of this specimen's character.

The interior of this Shelby matches the unique character of the rest of the car and is in exceptionally neat condition.

DOCUMENTS/HISTORY:

The car currently has Dutch registration.

According to the available history, this GT500 was ordered in August 2008 by the CEO of Samsung. The car was delivered new in 2009 and exported almost immediately to South Korea, where it remained for about ten years in a prestigious private collection.

The Shelby was kept largely as a collector’s item, which aligns with the exceptionally low mileage of only 1,071 kilometers.

In February 2019 the car was exported from South Korea to the Netherlands. Since then, the Shelby has also been treated as a collector’s car and used only very sparingly.

The available history is supported by:
- Dutch registration documents
- Window sticker
- CARFAX report
- CarVertical report
- Dutch registration history
- Two keys

The car is now registered in the Netherlands and can therefore be registered/used directly within the country under the applicable conditions.
