Low-mileage Ford Mustangs offer enthusiasts an opportunity to experience some of the most significant chapters in American performance-car history. From the Fox-body era’s lightweight performance philosophy to the supercharged Shelby models that pushed the Mustang toward supercar-level power, these cars demonstrate how Ford’s iconic pony car evolved across generations.
The six Bring a Trailer listings featured here span more than three decades of Mustang development, encompassing the 1987 Mustang, the 2004 SVT Cobra, the Shelby GT500KR, the 2013 Shelby GT500, the track-focused 2018 Shelby GT350R, and the 2023 Shelby GT. Each represents a distinct interpretation of performance, engineering, and collectibility.
Low mileage is an important part of their appeal, but it is not the only consideration. Originality, service history, factory equipment, documented ownership, and the quality of any modifications can be equally important when evaluating a collectible Mustang. Together, these six examples illustrate why well-preserved cars continue to attract attention from enthusiasts and collectors.
1. 2023 Ford Mustang GT Carroll Shelby Centennial Edition
The newest Mustang in this collection celebrates Carroll Shelby’s 100th birthday with a limited-production performance package. This 2023 Ford Mustang GT Carroll Shelby Centennial Edition is number 98 of just 100 examples modified by Shelby American, combining modern S550-generation styling with substantial mechanical upgrades.
Its 5.0-liter Coyote V8 receives a Whipple supercharger system, a high-performance radiator, and Shelby-specific hardware. Shelby American rated output at 750 horsepower, with power delivered through a six-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. A Borla cat-back exhaust enhances the powertrain’s character.
Finished in Shadow Black with black racing stripes, the car features a vented hood, revised grille and rear spoiler, Satin Black 20-inch forged wheels, upgraded springs and sway bars, and Brembo front brake calipers. Inside, black leather and Alcantara upholstery, embroidered Centennial Edition logos, and auxiliary AutoMeter gauges distinguish the cabin.
The car’s 304-mile odometer reading is complemented by its Shelby American build sheet, window sticker, owner’s manual, accessories, and damage-free Carfax report. The documented MSRP was $96,354. However, prospective buyers should also note that the listing identifies a title-only notation and that the car has not passed a California emissions test. These details matter when assessing registration requirements and long-term ownership costs.
For collectors seeking a modern, serialized Shelby-modified Mustang, this Centennial Edition combines low mileage with a clearly defined place in Shelby American’s history.
2. 1988 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Convertible
Power comes from Ford’s 302-cubic-inch, or 5.0-liter, V8, factory-rated at 225 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels through a Traction-Lok rear axle with 2.73:1 gearing.
The car wears Oxford White paint with Titanium lower-body accents and blue side stripes, paired with a white soft top and Oxford White leather upholstery. Fifteen-inch alloy wheels, GT-specific bodywork, fog lights, and a rear luggage rack preserve the unmistakable late-1980s appearance.
Equipment includes air conditioning, cruise control, power windows and locks, and a premium sound system. The original-style interior and period-correct mechanical configuration make this car especially interesting to collectors who value preservation over extensive modification.
Documentation includes a Deluxe Marti Report, owner’s and service manuals, a clean Carfax report, and a title marked with actual mileage. The listing does disclose an issue with the left door upholstery, a reminder that extremely low mileage does not necessarily mean flawless condition.
Its significance lies in how closely it represents the Mustang GT’s traditional formula: naturally aspirated V8 power, rear-wheel drive, a manual transmission, and uncomplicated American performance.
3. 2018 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R
With only 24 miles recorded, this 2018 Shelby GT350R stands out as one of the lowest-mileage performance cars in the group. More importantly, it represents one of the most distinctive modern Mustang engineering packages, built around a high-revving, naturally aspirated V8 rather than forced induction.
The 5.2-liter Voodoo V8 features a flat-plane crankshaft, dual overhead camshafts, and variable valve timing. Factory output was 526 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque, delivered through a Tremec six-speed manual transmission and a Torsen limited-slip differential.
The GT350R was developed with track performance in mind. This example features MagneRide damping, Brembo brakes at all four corners, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, and lightweight 19-inch carbon-fiber wheels. A carbon-fiber rear wing, functional hood and fender vents, front splitter, and quad exhaust outlets reinforce its motorsport-oriented character.
Finished in Lead Foot Gray with white racing stripes, the car has Ebony cloth and Miko suede Recaro seats. As with other R models, the rear seat is deleted to support the car’s weight-conscious approach. Its original equipment also includes the R-Electronics Package and Equipment Group 920A.
The listing includes the window sticker, spare wheels and tires, a car cover, serialized book, model crankshaft, and damage-free Carfax report. Its original MSRP was $69,490. The listing also notes an open recall, which buyers should investigate before completing a purchase.
For enthusiasts, the GT350R’s appeal is not simply its near-delivery mileage. Its naturally aspirated engine, manual transmission, and track-focused chassis make it a particularly compelling expression of the Mustang’s performance potential.
4. 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Coupe
The 2013 Shelby GT500 marked a major milestone in Mustang performance. Its supercharged 5.8-liter Trinity V8 delivered a factory-rated 662 horsepower and 631 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the most powerful production Mustangs of its era. This Race Red example has only 474 miles and remained with its original owners in Florida until 2026.
Power reaches the rear wheels through a Tremec six-speed manual transmission and a Torsen limited-slip differential with a 3.31:1 axle ratio. The optional SVT Track Pack adds dedicated engine-oil, transmission, and differential cooling, equipment intended to help sustain performance under demanding conditions.
The car is finished in Race Red with Performance White stripes and features Recaro Sport seats, forged 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels, Bilstein electronically adjustable dampers, and Brembo front brakes. The SVT Performance and Electronics packages add further performance and convenience equipment, including navigation and dual-zone climate control.
Its combination of exceptionally low mileage and factory options is particularly noteworthy. The example is chassis 263129, identified in the listing as number 215 of 346 cars finished in Race Red for the model year.
Supporting documentation includes the window sticker, certificate of authenticity, service records, car cover, and an uninstalled front air dam. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other reported damage. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
This GT500 represents a high point for traditional supercharged Mustang performance, pairing immense torque with a manual transmission and a factory-developed chassis package.
5. 2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Mystichrome Convertible
The 2004 SVT Cobra occupies an important place in Mustang history as the final model-year Cobra of the SN95 generation. This convertible is especially distinctive because it wears the rare Mystichrome appearance package, fitted to just 495 convertibles for the model year.
Its Mystichrome Clearcoat uses color-shifting pigments that transition between shades of green, blue, purple, and near-black depending on the light. Dark Charcoal leather seats with Mystichrome inserts carry the theme into the cabin, while the black soft top and polished 17-inch wheels provide contrast.
Under the hood, a supercharged 4.6-liter DOHC V8 produces a factory-rated 390 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. The engine features a cast-iron block, forged rotating assembly, aluminum cylinder heads, and an oil cooler. A Tremec T-56 six-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential complete the drivetrain.
The Cobra also benefits from independent rear suspension, SVT-tuned suspension components, four-wheel disc brakes, and Cobra-branded front calipers. Amenities include air conditioning, cruise control, a Mach 460 audio system, and a six-disc CD changer.
The listing records 680 miles on the odometer, although its headline describes the car as having 700 miles. It is offered with a window sticker, SVT certificate, service records, and a clean title. Its Carfax report contains no accident or damage entries, but at least one open recall is listed.
For collectors, this Cobra combines a low-mileage supercharged drivetrain with one of the most visually recognizable factory appearance packages ever offered on a Mustang.
6. 2009 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR
The 2009 Shelby GT500KR revives the historic “King of the Road” name with a limited-production, Shelby-modified interpretation of the S197 Mustang. This example is number 539 of 712 produced for the model year and shows just 166 miles. According to the listing, its original owner kept it in a Mustang collection before the selling dealer acquired it in 2023.
Its supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V8 was factory-rated at 540 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. Power is transmitted through a Tremec six-speed manual gearbox. The GT500KR package includes a Ford Racing power upgrade, cold-air intake, revised H-pipe exhaust, and an SVT-tuned suspension.
The exterior is finished in Vista Blue Metallic with silver stripes. Carbon-fiber components include the vented hood, front splitter, and mirror caps, while polished 18-inch Alcoa wheels and Brembo front brakes complete the performance package. Inside, Dark Charcoal leather upholstery features GT500KR and Shelby signature embroidery.
This car’s limited production and exceptionally low mileage are supported by a serialized dashboard plaque, Ford and Shelby window stickers, and a Ford SVT certificate of authenticity. The original window sticker lists an MSRP of $47,330. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage, although the listing identifies at least one open recall. The tires are older Goodyear Eagle F1 units, so age and condition deserve attention even with minimal mileage.
The GT500KR is a compelling choice for collectors who appreciate Shelby’s limited-production approach, traditional supercharged V8 power, and period-specific styling.
