The Appeal

The 2009 Shelby GT500 sits at the very top of the fifth-generation Mustang hierarchy. Developed by Ford's Special Vehicle Team, it pairs a 5.4-litre supercharged and intercooled V8 with Brembo brakes, SVT-tuned suspension, a Tremec six-speed manual gearbox, and suitably aggressive bodywork to create one of the most formidable American performance cars of its era. It remains a deeply desirable machine among muscle car enthusiasts worldwide.

This particular example carries a provenance that sets it apart from most other GT500s. Originally ordered in August 2008 by the CEO of Samsung, it was delivered new in 2009 and immediately exported to South Korea, where it was kept as part of a prestigious private collection. It was specified generously from the factory and further enhanced with performance upgrades bringing the estimated output to approximately 620 horsepower.

Having been preserved primarily as a showpiece rather than a driven vehicle, the odometer shows just 1,071 kilometres. The car was exported to the Netherlands in February 2019, where it has continued to be treated as a collector's item with only minimal use. It is accompanied by clean CARFAX, CarVertical, and Kenteken check reports, and comes with Dutch registration documents and two keys.

For collectors and enthusiasts seeking a Shelby GT500 with notable provenance, a very low odometer reading, and desirable performance upgrades, this is an opportunity that warrants serious attention.
