The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 occupies a special place in American performance-car history. Combining high-output V8 engines, aggressive styling, and engineering developed to deliver serious straight-line and track performance, the GT500 has evolved considerably since its late-1960s beginnings. Today, both original Shelby-era models and modern supercharged Mustangs command attention from collectors, particularly when exceptional specifications, limited production, and unusually low mileage come into play.
A collection of seven Shelby GT500s currently featured on Bring a Trailer illustrates the model’s enduring appeal. Spanning the 1970 model year through 2022, the group includes an original 428 Cobra Jet-powered GT500, several exceptionally preserved S197-generation cars, a 760-horsepower modern GT500, and two 2022 Heritage Edition examples.
The listings also highlight how much the GT500 has changed over five decades. While the original cars relied on naturally aspirated big-block V8 power and traditional three-speed automatic transmissions, their modern counterparts employ superchargers, sophisticated suspension systems, advanced electronics, and considerably more powerful engines.
1970 Shelby GT500: A Carryover Big-Block Classic
The oldest car in this group represents the traditional Shelby formula at a time when the original GT500 was approaching the end of its first production era. This 1970 Shelby Mustang GT500 fastback is one of just 380 carryover fastbacks sold as 1970-model-year cars, having originally been delivered through Rusty Eck Ford in Wichita, Kansas, in September 1969.
Finished in Wimbledon White with twin black hood stripes, blue side stripes, and a black interior, the car retains the distinctive styling associated with late-1960s Shelby Mustangs. Its fiberglass nose, front fenders, vented hood, front chin spoiler, fog lights, trunk-lid spoiler, and dual center-exit exhaust outlets give it an unmistakable appearance.
Under the hood sits a 428-cubic-inch Cobra Jet V8 equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and ram-air intake assembly. The engine was factory rated at 335 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque, with power delivered through a three-speed C-6 automatic transmission.
The specification also includes power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, air conditioning, a tilt-away steering wheel, and a Sport Deck rear seat. The car was restored by a previous owner and acquired by its current owner in 2020. Its five-digit odometer shows approximately 51,000 miles.
Recent maintenance includes replacement of the original single-circuit brake booster with a dual-circuit unit in May 2026, along with adjustments to the left-door glass and repairs to the fog-lamp wiring. A Marti Report copy accompanies the car.
2020 Shelby GT500: The 760-HP Predator Arrives
The 2020 Shelby GT500 represents a major technological departure from the original cars. Developed as the flagship performance version of the sixth-generation Mustang, it introduced the supercharged 5.2-liter Predator V8 and a seven-speed Tremec dual-clutch transmission.
The example currently listed on Bring a Trailer has accumulated approximately 17,000 miles and wears Iconic Silver Metallic paint with black over-the-top stripes. Its specification includes 20-inch split-spoke alloy wheels, a rear wing, a louvered hood, HID headlights, and sequential LED taillights.
The hand-assembled Predator V8 produces a factory-rated 760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft of torque. Its inverted Roots-type supercharger works with an air-to-liquid intercooler, while an engine oil cooler helps manage temperatures under demanding conditions. Power reaches the rear wheels through the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and a Torsen limited-slip differential.
The car also features MagneRide adaptive damping, six-piston front and four-piston rear Brembo brake calipers, and two-piece ventilated brake rotors. Inside, heated and ventilated Ebony leather seats, carbon-fiber trim, a 12-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system provide a more contemporary environment.
The Technology Package adds navigation, blind-spot monitoring, and cross-traffic alert. However, prospective bidders should pay particular attention to the vehicle history: its Carfax report records minor damage in July 2026. The listing identifies the car as chassis L0596.
With 17,000 miles, this example is less of a time capsule than the other modern GT500s in this group, but it offers an opportunity to experience the Predator-powered generation without paying exclusively for ultra-low mileage.
2013 Shelby GT500: A 250-Mile Trinity V8 Time Capsule
The 2013 Shelby GT500 marked the introduction of Ford’s larger 5.8-liter Trinity V8, an engine that elevated the S197-generation Mustang into a new performance category. This particular example is especially noteworthy because it has covered just 250 miles since new.
Finished in Race Red with white over-the-top and side stripes, the coupe remained with its original owner until 2026. It was ordered with both the SVT Performance Package and SVT Track Pack, making it a particularly desirable specification.
The supercharged 5.8-liter V8 produces 662 horsepower and 631 lb-ft of torque, sending power to the rear wheels through a Tremec six-speed manual transmission and Torsen limited-slip differential. This combination helped establish the 2013 GT500 as one of the most powerful production Mustangs of its era.
The SVT Performance Package adds electronically adjustable Bilstein dampers, while the Track Pack provides external oil, transmission, and differential coolers. Other equipment includes staggered 19-inch and 20-inch forged alloy wheels, Brembo front brakes, and Recaro sport seats.
Inside, the Charcoal Black leather upholstery features white accents and embroidered Shelby Cobra logos. A Shaker sound system, air conditioning, cruise control, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel complete the cabin.
Importantly, the car received attention before the auction. A September 2026 service included an oil change, fuel-tank cleaning, and replacement of the fuel pump and filter. The listing also includes service records, a window-sticker copy, and a clean Carfax report.
For collectors, the appeal is straightforward: an exceptionally low-mileage, original-owner-history example with the desirable manual transmission and both major SVT performance packages.
2014 Shelby GT500 Coupe: A 689-Mile Final-Year Example
The 2014 model year marked the conclusion of the S197 Mustang generation, making this 689-mile Shelby GT500 an interesting addition to the auction lineup. It combines the final-year specification with exceptionally limited use and a desirable collection of factory options.
Finished in black with matching center stripes, the car was ordered with a glass roof, SVT Track Package, and Shaker Pro sound system. Its exterior also features HID headlights, hood vents, a rear spoiler, and Shelby badging.
Power comes from the familiar supercharged 5.8-liter Trinity V8, rated at 662 horsepower and 631 lb-ft of torque. Unlike the newer Predator-powered GT500, this example uses a Tremec six-speed manual transmission, giving drivers direct control over the engine’s substantial output.
The SVT equipment includes a Torsen limited-slip differential and electronically adjustable Bilstein dampers. Staggered 19-inch and 20-inch forged wheels, Brembo front brakes, and Recaro sport seats further distinguish the specification.
The cabin features Charcoal Black leather upholstery, a Shaker Pro audio system, navigation, and air conditioning. The glass roof provides another desirable factory option, while the SVT Track Package’s additional cooling hardware helps support sustained performance driving.
The car’s window sticker documents an original MSRP of $69,685, and the listing includes its owner’s manual and a clean Carfax report.
With just 689 miles, this is one of the lowest-mileage examples among the seven listings. Its combination of final-year production, manual transmission, glass roof, and track-oriented equipment makes it particularly appealing to collectors.
2022 Shelby GT500 Heritage Edition: 66 Miles and the Carbon Fiber Track Pack
Among the seven cars, this 2022 Shelby GT500 Heritage Edition stands out as one of the most collectible modern examples. Showing just 66 miles, it combines the special-edition appearance package with the expensive Carbon Fiber Track Pack and Technology Package.
The Heritage Edition commemorates the original 1967 Shelby GT500 and features Brittany Blue Metallic paint with Wimbledon White painted racing stripes. This example also carries chassis number N2312.
Its Carbon Fiber Track Pack adds substantial performance-oriented equipment, including exposed carbon-fiber 20-inch seven-spoke wheels, a manually adjustable carbon-fiber rear wing, front splitter wickers, adjustable strut top mounts, and Recaro front seats. The package also deletes the rear seats, reducing weight and reinforcing the car’s track-focused character.
Power comes from Ford’s supercharged 5.2-liter Predator V8, rated at 760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed Tremec dual-clutch automatic transmission and Torsen limited-slip differential handle power delivery.
The MagneRide suspension, six-piston front Brembo brakes, and four-piston rear calipers provide the supporting hardware. Inside, Ebony leather and Miko suede Recaro seats are complemented by carbon-fiber trim and a 12-inch digital instrument cluster.
The Technology Package adds a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, navigation, blind-spot monitoring, and cross-traffic alert.
The car is offered by a dealer in Iowa with its window sticker, build sheet, ownership kit, owner’s manual, accessories, and a damage-free Carfax report. Its combination of extremely low mileage, desirable factory options, and special-edition status makes it one of the strongest collector propositions in this group.
2022 Shelby GT500 Heritage Edition: 547 Miles and the Handling Package
A second 2022 Heritage Edition offers another opportunity to acquire Ford’s modern supercharged Shelby with exceptionally low mileage. This example has covered 547 miles and was ordered with more than $17,000 in additional options, including the Technology and Handling packages.
Like the other Heritage Edition, it wears Brittany Blue Metallic paint with Wimbledon White over-the-top stripes. However, its configuration differs from the Carbon Fiber Track Pack-equipped car, making the comparison between these two listings particularly interesting.
The Handling Package adds a Gurney flap to the rear wing, front splitter wickers, and adjustable strut top mounts. The car also retains its standard-style 20-inch split-spoke alloy wheels rather than the expensive carbon-fiber alternatives found on the other example.
Underneath the hood sits the familiar supercharged 5.2-liter V8, producing 760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft of torque. Power is transmitted through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox to a Torsen limited-slip differential.
The suspension features MagneRide damping, while braking is handled by six-piston front and four-piston rear Brembo calipers. The cabin includes heated and ventilated Ebony leather seats, a 12-inch digital instrument display, Ford Track Apps, and the Technology Package’s Bang & Olufsen audio system and navigation.
This car is identified as chassis N1931. It also comes with a JLT Performance air-intake system, hood pins, and its original documentation, including a window sticker and ownership kit. The seller additionally includes spare and removed parts.
An important distinction between the two Heritage Edition cars is their equipment. The 66-mile example has the more expensive Carbon Fiber Track Pack, while this 547-mile car offers the Handling Package and a more conventional interior configuration.
2014 Shelby GT500 Convertible: Open-Air Supercharged Performance
According to the listing, Ford produced 914 Shelby GT500 convertibles for the 2014 model year, with this particular car reportedly being one of just 92 finished in Sterling Gray Metallic.
The exterior is complemented by a black fabric roof, a rear spoiler with a Gurney flap, HID headlights, fog lights, hood vents, and Shelby badging. It also features staggered 19-inch and 20-inch forged alloy wheels.
The supercharged 5.8-liter Trinity V8 produces 662 horsepower and 631 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. This makes it mechanically similar to the other 2013 and 2014 Trinity-powered examples in this auction group.
The SVT Performance Package adds electronically adjustable Bilstein dampers, a rear spoiler with a Gurney flap, and forged wheels. The Electronics Package brings navigation and dual-zone automatic climate control.
Inside, the car features heated front sport seats trimmed in Charcoal Black leather, sueded microfiber accents, and embroidered Shelby Cobra logos. Additional equipment includes a Shaker sound system, SYNC infotainment, and air conditioning.
Unlike the exceptionally low-mileage coupes, this convertible has covered approximately 21,000 miles, including around 8,000 under the current owner’s care. Nevertheless, it comes with a Ford Performance Certificate of Authenticity, service records, a window sticker, spare parts, a car cover, and a clean Carfax report.
There are a few cosmetic imperfections, including some wheel nicks and paint imperfections on the underside of the rear spoiler. The battery was replaced in October 2026.
Seven Shelby GT500s, Five Decades of American Performance
These seven Bring a Trailer listings demonstrate how the Shelby GT500 has evolved from a relatively traditional big-block muscle car into a sophisticated, high-performance machine.
The 1970 example represents the historical appeal of the original Shelby era, with its 428 Cobra Jet V8, distinctive styling, and limited carryover production. The 2013 and 2014 cars showcase the S197 generation’s 662-horsepower Trinity engine, while the 2020 GT500 introduced the 760-horsepower Predator V8 and dual-clutch transmission.
The two 2022 Heritage Editions arguably offer the most compelling modern collector propositions. Their exceptionally low mileage, special-edition status, and desirable factory equipment make them particularly interesting, especially the 66-mile example with its Carbon Fiber Track Pack.
Meanwhile, the 2014 convertible provides an alternative for buyers who want the same supercharged performance with open-air driving.
Importantly, the displayed bids are snapshots from the listings rather than confirmed final sale prices. With auctions scheduled across November 9–14, 2026, the closing results will provide a more meaningful indication of how buyers currently value these different generations of Shelby GT500.
