The Appeal
The S197-generation Mustang was launched to great acclaim, evoking the spirit of the model's glorious past after the somewhat divisive SN95 that preceded it. With its boxier, more aggressive styling, improved structural rigidity and sharper driving dynamics, it was a return to form that delighted Mustang enthusiasts worldwide. The Shelby GT Package, as fitted to this car, elevated the experience further still: a costly factory-certified upgrade that very few buyers opted for, making examples so equipped notably scarce today.
This 2007 GT Coupé in black ebony is one such car, featuring the full Shelby GT Package at a cost of $8,390 and certified by Shelby Automobiles Inc., with its own CSM serial numbering on both the dash and engine plaques. The specification includes the Ford Racing Handling Package with uprated suspension components and a strut tower brace, alongside the Ford Racing Power Upgrade Package covering intake, exhaust, calibration and drivetrain enhancements. Paired with the manual gearbox, this is a Mustang that was built to be driven with intent.
With an unmarked interior and wonderful showing only 37,500 miles on the odometer, the vendor states that the car has spent much of its life on the sidelines, which accounts for the condition it presents in today. Imported to the UK in 2009 and having had just three registered keepers since, it comes with its original book pack including the handbook, service book and a collection of Ford and Shelby brochures. For those seeking a well-specified S197 Mustang with genuine Shelby credentials, this is a compelling proposition.
