Will Smith’s I Am Legend Mustang Shelby GT500 Now on the Market

Looking for the ultimate Mustang movie car? Built specifically for the film, this is the last remaining Shelby GT500 SVT. 

We recently came across this very cool Mustang Shelby find on eBay. This custom 2007 Shelby Mustang GT500 SVT was used in the film I Am Legend. Six of these Mustangs were produced as a one-off for the 2007 movie. Sadly, and much like Will Smith in the film, it wanders the earth, the last of its kind.

According to the seller, all the remaining GT500s were sadly destroyed by Ford when the film wrapped. So, this 2007 Mustang Shelby stands alone.

In the film, Smith appears to be the last man alive as he wanders through desolate, abandoned Manhattan. Now, if we were actually the last person standing, we’d of course feel better about our fate once we snapped up a sweet cherry ride like this.

Beautiful in Candy Apple Red, it is perfectly complemented by the quintessential Shelby racing stripes. Under the hood is a 5.4-liter 32-valve DOHC supercharged, intercooled V8 engine. This is paired to a six-speed Tremec manual transmission. SVT-tuned, there are a host of nice performance upgrades, including four-wheel disc brakes with Brembo front rotors and calipers.

The two-door coupe is remarkably clean, and has about 6,000 on the ticker. This model was even driven by Smith in the film, as well as used for “beauty shots for the filming.”

Once the flick wrapped it was lovingly cared for and is in pristine, collector-ready condition. It is very clean inside and out, has been dealer serviced, and the title lists the film’s production company. It also includes a certificate of authenticity, ensuring that this is the real deal.

Onscreen, Smith rides through the deserted dsytopian cityscape with his canine pal Sam. Against the weathered grey of the city, the red-hot Mustang pops beautifully. And even dons the dealer tags from the fictitious “Manhattan Ford.” Hey, we know if we were an omega man, we’d definitely have an impressive automotive fleet at our fingertips.

Oh yeah, it is a beaut. It is also, in our opinion, priced a little high at $150K. But for a die-hard Shelby (or celluloid) fan, this might be the ultimate ride: a legitimately one-of-a-kind Mustang Shelby GT500.

Check out the tasty and ferocious GT500 in action.
