A Shelby GT350 Is Now The Ultimate Used Ford Mustang
Here's why you should have one.
For the first time in several decades, Ford is selling two different Shelby-badged Mustang models at the same time. The Shelby GT500 is by far the more impressive performer with its 5.2-liter supercharged V8 and seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions but in many ways, it isn't our favorite Mustang. That honor goes to the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350, which was the first Mustang to truly bridge the gap between classic American muscle and European sports cars.
With a rev-happy engine, manual transmission, and track-ready handling, the GT350 could quite possibly be among the best driver's cars ever to emerge from the USA. Rumors are circulating that the GT350 might soon be discontinued and even purchasing one new might not be enough to convince Ford to save it. So if we do have to prepare for a world without the GT350 in it, at least used examples are now pretty affordable.
