2014 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Coupe
The last and baddest of the S197 era, this 2014 Shelby GT500 represents the final chapter of Ford's factory supercharged solid-axle muscle car formula. With a hand-built supercharged 5.8L Trinity V8, a 6-speed manual, and just over 1,600 original miles, this is the kind of car that has already crossed over from modern performance car to blue-chip collectible.
Finished in Ruby Red Metallic with factory white Le Mans-style stripes and matching GT500 rocker stripes, this example has the look every Shelby buyer wants. It is a one-owner car, presented as an unmodified example, and shows the kind of preservation you hope to see from a properly kept low-mile GT500. The seller states it was purchased new in November of 2013, delivered enclosed, and driven only occasionally to keep it active and exercised.
Exterior
Ruby Red Metallic is one of the best colors ever offered on the S197 platform, and it works perfectly on the aggressive GT500 bodywork. The deep metallic finish gives this Shelby a rich, high-end look in the light, while the white stripes sharpen the entire profile from nose to tail. Factory details remain in place throughout, including the front splitter, vented hood, rear spoiler, HID headlights, and signature Cobra badging. The removed door side scoops are included with the sale.
The overall presentation is exactly what you want from a collector-grade example: crisp body lines, excellent panel fit, clean lighting, and the stance that made the final GT500 so intimidating right off the showroom floor.
Wheels & Stance
Factory 19-inch front and 20-inch rear forged alloy wheels sit exactly where they should and give the car a purposeful, planted look. The tires appear to be correctly sized performance radials, and the car retains the muscular factory posture that separates a GT500 from a standard Mustang immediately. Nothing looks altered, overdone, or out of character here-just a clean, properly preserved Shelby with the right factory hardware.
Interior
Inside, this GT500 carries the desirable Charcoal Black with White leather bucket seats, giving the cabin a unique Shelby-specific contrast that ties in perfectly with the exterior stripes. The seats are heated, heavily bolstered, and embroidered with Cobra logos. The suede-wrapped steering wheel, short-throw-style manual shifter with white cue-ball knob, Shelby sill trim, and SVT gauge cluster all remind you this is no ordinary Mustang.
The optional Shaker Pro audio system is another welcome box checked on this car, adding to its factory spec. Everything shown in the photos reflects a car with extremely light use, and the odometer showing roughly 1,627 miles supports that impression. Even the trunk, trim, and undercarriage photos show the kind of cleanliness serious buyers look for in a low-mileage example.
Engine & Drivetrain
Under the hood is the legendary supercharged 5.8L DOHC V8, the most powerful production V8 Ford had built at the time, rated at 662 horsepower and over 600 lb-ft of torque. This final-year Trinity engine benefited from major upgrades including revised heads, camshafts, intercooler improvements, higher-flow injectors, and increased boost over earlier GT500 models.
Backing that power is the proper TREMEC 6-speed manual transmission, delivering the full analog Shelby experience. This is the drivetrain combination enthusiasts chase: big factory horsepower, a real clutch pedal, and the last of the truly raw modern Shelbys before the platform changed direction.
This example is presented as unmodified, which is a major plus in today's market. So many GT500s were pulley-swapped, tuned, raced, or otherwise altered. Finding one that remains stock, one-owner, and ultra-low-mile is getting harder every year.
Steering & Brakes
Ford made sure the 2013-2014 GT500 had the stopping power to match the horsepower, and this car is equipped with Brembo ventilated disc brakes along with ABS and traction control. The chassis tuning, steering response, and braking package work together to make this far more than a straight-line car, but make no mistake-its character is still brutally fast, mechanical, and unapologetically old-school in the best possible way.
The Drive
A final-year GT500 feels special the second you sit in it. The clutch, shifter, supercharger whine, long hood, and SVT gauges all combine to deliver an experience that modern cars have largely softened. This is still a real-deal muscle car, just turned all the way up. It is fast enough to be genuinely shocking, yet refined enough to cruise comfortably thanks to factory amenities like heated seats and the Shaker Pro system.
With one-owner history, clean CARFAX, clean Louisiana title, owner's manuals, multiple keys, included side scoops, and mileage still sitting in the low 1,600 range, this GT500 checks the boxes for both the collector and the enthusiast. It is the right year, the right drivetrain, the right colors, and the right kind of preservation.
