And if you said yes, and you probably have, as you are here reading these lines, and looking to find out more about the pictured example, then you may want to keep reading, because the machine you see above in the gallery is for sale in the United States of America, with a used car dealer behind the ad. And it does not only look very good, but it is also a Heritage Edition.
As you probably know, the S550 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 usually costs between $75,000 and over $110,000 in today’s used car market Stateside, whereas the Heritage Edition + Carbon Fiber Track Pack, and this example has both, tends to get a lot more expensive. For instance, something like this tends to go between $120,000 and over $155,000, depending on the mileage and overall condition.
Yes, you read that right, the pictured muscle car is not only a Heritage Edition, but also benefits from the Carbon Fiber Track Pack. It rides on carbon fiber wheels, to absolutely no one’s surprise, which spin around the red brake calipers that feature white Brembo branding. It also features the usual body kit expected from a GT500, has white dual racing stripes, a large wing sitting on the trunk lid, and four big exhaust tips sticking out from the rear.

On the inside, this Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has leather and Alcantara upholstery. The interior is mostly black, but a few white accents provide some contrast. We can see them on the seats, center console, and even on the steering wheel, in the form of a 12 o’clock marker. White stitching is also on deck, and so is the carbon fiber trim. Some metal accents can also be seen here, and the Recaro bucket seats boast the famous Shelby Cobra logo in white.
We can see a bit of wear on the driver’s seat outer bolster, and that is not exactly a surprise, because this machine is not really a garage queen. You are looking at a 2022 model year, according to the vendor, and at the time of cataloging, it had a little over 13,000 miles on the clock. In fact, the odometer read 13,268 miles (21,353 km), to this muscle car has seen some action. But it still looks very good both inside and out, this writer thinks, and there is no doubt that it will attract a petrolhead in no time.
However, that depends not only on the car’s overall appearance, mileage, and other factors, because the asking price also plays a decisive role. And you are probably curious how much this one is. But we will keep this information close to our chest for the moment, as in the meantime, we also have to delve into the oily bits, as it is these that have made the S550-generation Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 famous.

The muscle car has a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine under the hood in this configuration, which was rated at 760 hp (567 kW/771 ps) back when the vehicle was still found in dealer lots nationwide. The thrust was 627 pound-feet (847 Nm), and this enables it to hit 60 mph (97 kph) in just a little over three seconds from naught. You are looking at a 10-second car, as the standing quarter mile takes 10.7 seconds, according to the spec sheet.
And that makes it even more exciting than the lesser Mustangs from that era, doesn’t it? It also allowed the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 to sit neck and neck with those pesky Hellcats from Dodge, that challenged (pun intended) it to countless drag races. And we should also name the Chevy Camaro ZL1, which is dead and buried, and might return as a four-door sedan, perhaps with a V8 engine, and maybe a manual transmission option.
Now, we told you everything that we know about this 2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, which is a Heritage Edition that boasts the Carbon Fiber Track Pack, and has a little over 13,000 miles on the odometer, and it is definitely a lot more than the vendor said in the social media post embedded at the bottom of the page. The dealer is known as @seraj.garage on Instagram, and says that it accepts trade-ins, offers financing, and can ship this machine nationwide.
But how much would you have to fork out if you wanted this Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 parked in your driveway? That would be $104,995, according to the ad, and it’s definitely not bad at all for something like this, is it? If you were shopping for an S550 GT500 and came across this one, would you make it yours for $105K?
