I currently have a 2010gt500 that I have had for almost 9 years. I am the second owner, and picked it up with 4k miles on it. It is grabber w/ white stripes and has virtually trouble free. It now had 10ok miles on it and I am ready for a new ride.

After debating picking up a gt350 and going TT, a Hellcat redeye, A ZL1 1LE, or a new GT500, I decided I would rather have the new Shelby. However, that market is problematic at the moment, but I still want something. I came across a 2014 that is still "in the wrapper". It was part of some fortunate fellow's collection of amazing Ford/Shelby products, and only has 7.5 miles on it. Full option car save for the glass roof. Ingot with Blue stripes, which I assume is a rare color as well.

I need a back seat, so it was one of the top tier Pony cars, or a GTR. As we named our little girl Shelby (2years old), I think I know what I want. It is coming in an enclosed transport from out of state, so I will just sell my 2010 after it arrives to recoup the down payment funds.

I am excited to join the Trinity owners and stay in the Shelby family. I will post up some pics of my 3 Shelbys when it arrives :) Although the 2 year old is much slower, we still think she is a doll :) She also likes cars and likes when I get on the gas hard....so maybe the name is appropriate :)

Amazing, 7.5 miles. Congratulations. Great color too. 266 built in 2014 with 50 having blue stripe. Course we like pictures around here.

Just saying.

Congrats on the great find. Looking forward to seeing a photo. I searched Google for a photo of a 2014 GT-500 in Ingot Silver with Blue Stripes and only found one...a convertible. Rare combo.

Thanks. I was actually trying on a Sterling with blue in CT w/ 11k miles, but I was number two and the first guy wired the money so I missed out. I came home at lunch that day and saw this one and then some pics of the collection it comes from and I was in. I would post a pic but I want to respect others' privacy. So many incredible machines.

I will figure out the pic posting stuff and will certainly upload some pics. it is identical to the Lund NSR and XBA dyno vid, which made me fall in love with the combo.

Congrats on a great find and welcome to the family!

That is, in fact, a relatively rare combo - there were only 34 Ingot Silver coupes with Blue-Accented Recaros made in the '14 MY. (Note that there were probably even fewer with the exact option combo you have, but the only way to confirm is via a Marti Personalized Statistics Report.)

Not the exact car, bit what I am working with :)
Glad you clarified, since there appears to be a lot more than 7.5 miles of brake dust on those front wheels.

Congrats on the find, hope you're not too late on this purchase.
I remember when my 14 showed up with " delivery " miles..

Yea, like Alibi above, my car was delivered with 16.x miles from a quality control selection.

Sounds like a good find, what else does this guy have for sale from his collection? Asking for a me.

Yah, that was my thought as well. Just amazing. The onber also has some drag only versions that they only built 50 of. My salesperson said he believes he has three out of the 50.

As for my car, the contract is in transit, and then I will have it picked up in enclosed transport. Here is the actual car as it sits now.

Anyone else find it hilarious the car has 7 miles but he set some of the mycolor settings? Good stuff

The Gulf livery Saleen and GT look awesome, can’t see the GT500 well enough.

I could live with that collection.

Since no one asked, I will . . . what does a brand new, 6 year old GT500 cost you?

"More than you can afford Pal, Shelby!"

All jokes aside they were asking about probably a little high, but I was the right sucker. Not too far off market, but obviously a unique find.

If anyone has any hints on how to convince the wife to keep my other GT500 as a daily, I am all ears, lol.
