----------

By now, there's really no need for a Carroll Shelby history lesson. We're all very familiar with Shelby's contributions to the automotive world, especially regarding the legendary Mustang. Shel's pony cars have always been great to look at and even better to drive, giving examples like this tailored GT350 virtually universal appeal. 1 of only 3 2011-2014 GT350 convertibles ordered with Shelby's wide body kit, and the only 2013 GT350 convertible so equipped, this Ford is a fairly rare piece any way you slice it. More impressive numbers live under the hood, where a supercharged Coyote V8 makes a killer 624 horsepower. And the car's most impressive stats come via history, with a mere 14,174 miles logged by only one owner. Looking for a future collectable? Want a genuinely fun weekend warrior? This clean drop-top is a great solution for a relatively tidy sum!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Dressing a vivid layer of Grabber Blue 2-stage in sporty Shelby call-outs and tight black cloth, this spotless Mustang has seen meticulous care since new. As with all 350 of this era's Shelby GT350s, the car's upgrades were performed by Shelby Automobiles of Las Vegas, Nevada. Like most of our low-mileage, garage-fresh pieces, its body presents as new in every conceivable way. That body's sinuous panels are straight, solid and, per CARFAX, have no history of accidents or damage of any kind. And a close look down the car's buff fuselage reveals world-class finishing that's far nicer than any piecemeal third party build.

Like most Shelby bolt-ons, the firm's wide body kit is meant to turn Ford's definition of good into the enthusiast's definition of great. At the front of this mean mare, a patent GTS valance hangs a small splitter beneath HID headlights and mesh, GT350-branded grilles. At the top of those grilles, an aggressive hood centers a functional scoop in front of heated mirrors that feature trick puddle lamps and chip-free glass that's branded with Shelby-themed decals. At the sides of that hood, 3-inch widened fenders hang traditional “POWERED BY FORD” emblems above remodeled, color-keyed rockers. At the back of those rockers, 6-inch widened quarters host a Shelby billet fuel filler. And at the back of the car, a Shelby-branded valance founds sequential taillights between a small antenna, bold trunk lettering, an aggressive GT500 spoiler and a streamlined diffuser.

ENGINE

Created as a turnkey package for enthusiasts who want a reliably engineered Mustang that unlocks the full potential of Ford's legendary Coyote V8, this top-of-the-line GT350 utilizes a Ford Racing whipple supercharger to crank out an astonishing 624 horsepower! Front-and-center, the car's painted blower makes good use of a Ford Racing cold air induction system, which marries clean aesthetics with excellent efficiency. At the sides of the engine, dynamic Shelby coil covers join an array of Shelby caps and fluid reservoirs to dress things up a bit. As with all Shelby specialties, this Mustang proudly displays a small Shelby American badge that verifies its authenticity. Aesthetically, the spotless mill features a typical OEM-level appearance that displays hardly any signs of usage. And when you twist the eager engine's key, you become the lead composer of a veritable orchestra of sinister whines and octane-fueled roars!

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

As most performance car fans already know, this Mustang's Shelby-tuned chassis is nothing short of excellent. And with a few optional bolt-ons, it sticks to the corners like the high-speed luge winner at the 2014 Winter Olympics. The firm's upgrades began with a Shelby/Ford Racing suspension that straightens the curves, progressed to Shelby/Wilwood brakes that scrub big speed, and ended with forged Shelby alloys that keep power to the ground. Behind the smooth engine, a slick-shifting Getrag 6-speed sends power to big, 3.73 gears and a Ford limited-slip differential. At the corners of the car, the aforementioned Wilwoods, which happen to be red-detailed, 6-piston units, squeeze giant drilled and slotted rotors behind standard Shelby brake ducts. Turns come courtesy of Ford's super-efficient power-assisted steering. Exhaust flows through large-diameter pipes to throaty Borla mufflers and oval Shelby tips. Naturally, Ford's standard ABS and AdvanceTrac traction control systems are present and accounted for. And all this first class speed and agility rides on the aforementioned Shelby alloys, which spin 275/35ZR20 Michelin Pilot Super Sports in front of 345/30ZR20 Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

INTERIOR

Inside this 'stang, heated, Shelby-branded seats, which feature 6-way power adjustment for the car's driver, ride opposite a tilting, leather-wrapped steering wheel that's equipped with Cruise Control and redundant audio buttons. The dash is a familiar Mustang layout, which hangs satin-trimmed telemetry beneath integrated Shelby A-pillar gauges. Below those vitals, a crisp Shaker stereo combines SYNC infotainment with standard navigation. Below those electronics, a small Shelby plaque leads an impressive console that's detailed with a dressed shifter. Beneath that console, rich carpet floats Shelby-branded floor mats between metal foot pedals and lighted sills. Above those sills, monochromatic door panels hang controls for power windows, power door locks and power mirrors beneath a Shelby convertible light bar. And naturally, all the luxuries you'd expect in a modern Ford are ready and waiting including: air conditioning, anti-theft, MyKey, SOS post-crash alert and Remote Keyless Entry.
