Frame Off Built Shelby GT500 Convertible 428 4 Speed AC

If you're one of the many enthusiasts who's aching for a pedigreed classic that you can actually drive and enjoy, this professionally massaged Mustang is just what the doctor ordered! Starting its current life as a super solid driver, this convertible endured a seven year, nut and bolt restoration that transformed it from a 6-cylinder secretary special into the battle-ready snake you see today. Naturally, the car's body was stripped to bare metal, patched and completely massaged over the course of hundreds of hours of labor. A fresh coat of Candyapple Red two-stage was ridded of its blue tint, layered over thick primer, and accented with familiar gold stripes. And when all was said and done, this Ford debuted as a fresh twist on a 'can't miss' favorite that puts common restorations to shame. Lift the car's glossy, fiberglass hood and you'll find an era-correct, 428 cubic inch Cobra Jet V8 that's been completely rebuilt using high quality parts from Perogie Enterprises. Long regarded as some of the meanest mills ever created, Ford's fabled Cobra Jet series utilized revised heads, heavy duty Le Mans connecting rods and a nodular iron crank to ensure blue oval-branded pony cars remained the kings of stoplight muscle. Behind that brutal 428, an era-correct Toploader twists torque to an era-correct 9-inch that's complete with both a Traction-Lok differential and lucid, 3.25 gears. At the front of the car, a familiar torsion bar suspension holds a beefy sway bar and factory-optioned power steering between modern power disc brakes. And power flows to the pavement through 15-inch Shelby wheels, which consist of aluminum center sections that are welded to chrome rims and wrapped in correct F60-15 Goodyear Polyglas GTs. This highly detailed convertible, with its enhanced looks, great driving characteristics and awesome reliability, wraps the best attributes of a show car in a stylish, street ready cruiser.
