Inside, the Black interior features bucket seats with a console, a woodgrain dashboard, and woodgrain door panel trim, all contributing to a rich and classic Shelby ambiance.
With power steering and power brakes (front discs), the driving experience is enhanced by smooth control and superior braking power. The car rides on 10-spoke alloy wheels, adding to its muscular stance, and features a range of Shelby details, including a finned Cobra air cleaner and matching valve covers, fog lights, and a scooped hood with hold-downs. Additional chrome accents, such as chrome bumpers, trim, and a driver’s mirror, along with rocker and wheel arch moldings, further emphasize its detailed craftsmanship.
This Shelby GT500 Convertible comes with an Elite Marti report, a build sheet, and the owner’s manual, providing valuable documentation for collectors. With just 62,261 miles on the odometer, this classic Shelby offers both a striking appearance and an impressive performance pedigree.
