How can I tell what options the car came with?

You'd probably need the VIN and a dealer. The SVT Performance Pack and Track Pack have some rather obvious features that you can identify if you have access to the car. Google the order guide and you can see what those are.

I took a couple of pics. I’m gonna get the VIN checked at the dealer today to see what it comes with. I think it has the Performance Pack since I see the wheels are 19’s and 20’s.

I also saw Recaros inside.

Check the upper open grille if there is a rectangular cooler of some kind (for the trans) in front of the AC condenser the car will have TP. The openings on either side of the bottom open grille area will not be blocked and if you look inside those openings you will see an oil cooler on the driver's side and rear axle cooler on the pass. side. If this car doesn't have TP those openings will be blocked and you won't have the trans cooler in the upper grille area.

edit: those stripes factory?? Don't think they offered factory stripes with pinstriping at all for these cars.

Probably only options it doesn't have is glass roof and the Shaker sub.

I was able to snap a pic of this. The red piping by the stripes is something that was owner installed. I can see and feel that’s not factory. I can remove it with a fingernail.

It’s a one owner car with 3,000 miles. They want $50K for it but I want it for $48K. I left my number and told them to call me tomorrow so we could negotiate price. I have no problem walking so we’ll see what they do.

I did see that Shelby on a few online sites for sale. Excellent low mileage GT500 and well worth the 48K price if you can get it. Just get rid of those red stripes if you don't want them and that Shelby is mint. Good luck.

OP....checked the VIN number on the Ford site and the 2 open recalls are for the Drivers side and Pass side air bags. If you end up buying the car get that done right away....no big deal.

It has the PP rims, but I would make sure it has adjustable shocks. The button will be below the headlight switch. Wouldn't want someone to swap rims and you think it has the package.

The car has TP according to the window sticker so PP should be there with the adjustable Bilsteins but yes always good to check.

Look for the shock button and into the wheel wells for the yellow shocks and also on the test drive make sure they work when u toggle the switch.

I ended up not getting it. We couldn't come to an agreement on the final details and someone else bought it. The salesman tried his best but I just couldn't pull the trigger yet. After reading up some more about these cars, my mind is changing......I want the impossible......I want a stock, never modded, garage kept, DIB with all options and glass roof with low miles and 1 owner. I can wait for it.

They are out there but becoming more rare every day especially with the glass roof. I had a 2014 but had to give it up unfortunately and will get into another 13/14 next year some time after my house is done. I have been following all sales of 13/14 GT500's for over a year now. There have been some great buys at great prices recently on one owner originals and they are all being bought up. Just have to keep an eye on all the "for sale" online sites every few days because new ones show up all the time. If I do come across the impossible that you are searching for will let you know. Good luck with the hunt.
