Wrecking a Shelby Mustang GT350 Before It Has 250 Miles

Numbers never lie, and the 247 miles on the odometer of this 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350 tell a story of a tad bit of overindulgence. There aren’t full details about what exactly happened, but this beautiful Mustang is currently posted up on the salvage site Copart with a busted chin and, sadly, a salvage title.

The GT350, the second-highest totem on the new-gen pole (below the GT350R), has a host of upgrades, including an aluminum 5.2-liter flat plane crank V8 with 526 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. That’s paired with a TREMEC 6-speed manual. In order to compete with the likes of the Camaro Z/28, the handling was buttoned all the way up with a stiffened chassis, optional MagneRide dampers, Brembo brakes, and a Torsen limited-slip differential.

Additionally, the entire body has been lowered and sloped to improve air flow, cooling, and downforce. The 19-inch wheels are bigger, the front track is wider, and the wheel arches are wider. On the interior, it has Recaro seats and a flat-bottomed steering wheel.

The MSRP for these beauts begin at $47,795, but according to the listing, this specific car was specced out to $57,468 and is currently sitting at a $30,750 bid.
