This 2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, owned by the renowned musician, guitarist, artist, and “Ink Master” TV host Dave Navarro from Jane’s Addiction and The Red Hot Chili Peppers, is a pristine example with just 100 miles on the odometer.
Introduced in 2020 as the most potent and fastest street-legal Mustang ever released, the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 revolutionized Ford’s performance legacy like never before. Inspired by its iconic 1960s Shelby American predecessors, the latest GT500 is driven by Ford’s fiercest V-8 engine: a hand-crafted, supercharged 5.2L powerhouse code-named “Predator,” boasting a factory-rated 760 HP at 7,300 RPM and 625 lb-ft of peak torque at 5,000 RPM. Notable features of this engine include a 2.65L Roots-type supercharger and air-to-liquid intercooler.
It is worth noting that the 2022 model is reported to be the final iteration of the Predator-powered GT500, marking the end of an era for the internal-combustion-powered models from Ford Motor Company.
The incredible power of the new GT500 is harnessed through a lightning-fast Tremec 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Cutting-edge GT500 engineering encompasses extensive CNC engine machining, electronic power steering, lightweight coil springs front and rear, a fully independent suspension system, low-profile tires, adjustable Magneride suspension, and impressive 16.5-inch 6-piston front and 4-piston rear Brembo Brakes featuring two-piece rotors and striking red-finished calipers.
Dave Navarro’s modern performance icon showcases the mighty supercharged 5.2L/760 HP Predator DOHC V-8 engine and Tremec 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Its Dark Matter Metallic Gray finish is protected with ceramic full body coating and XPEL Ultra Shine clear front paint protection, extending to the mirrors and windshield.
The purposeful yet luxurious interior, adorned with Ebony and gray inserts, boasts air conditioning with dual-zone climate control, a carbon fiber instrument panel, voice-activated touch-screen navigation, and a premium Bang & Olufsen 12-speaker sound system. Various driving modes, including Drag, Track, and Race settings, allow for a tailored driving experience, while the factory line lock and launch control elevate the excitement further.
Additional exclusive features include the Shelby GT500 front race splitter, UV-tinted windows, including the windshield top cover, and ceramic poly-coated wheels. To complete the package, this extraordinary performer comes with a custom Shelby GT500 car cover and a specially designed guitar and case bearing the matching Shelby GT500 paint scheme, along with Dave Navarro’s signature.
This 2022 Shelby GT500 will be available for auction this coming August 17-19 as part of Mecum Auctions Monterey event and is valued at $200,000 – $225,000.
