  • 2014 Shelby GT500 Is The Most Undervalued Muscle Car. Come along for a drive as I discuss how special and awesome these cars truly are and why they should be more desirable by collectors and enthusiasts. Now is the time to buy one because I predict these will skyrocket in value in our near future. Why are the younger generations not even attracted with interest to these Shelby GT500? Is it the manual transmission? Do they feel it is too old school of a car by design? Do they not understand or appreciate what a True Muscle Car is? I wish I knew the answers to these questions that still have me confused when I look and forecast the market on these today.
    Do not sleep on these cars now is the time to buy one.

    I have a 2013 gt500 with just over 700whp that I daily drive. It has been driven across the country on multiple occasions and currently has 112,000 miles. It’s incredibly reliable and hasn’t lost its wow factor when going full throttle. Not worried about the value of it because this will be one of the cars I keep. All around great car that I encourage people to experience.

    I’ve never really been a Mustang guy, but the 2013-2014 body style really did it for me. And 662HP with a 200MPH top speed, how can you hate it? I plan on buying a used Giulia QV some time next year, but owning this car would be special, especially considering they go for the same price as a used QV.

      If they go for the same price, why not say Fuck the QV and go for the Shelby? A year ago when I bought a 2022 Corolla Hatchback with a 6 speed manual, I had no idea that a used 2011 Cadillac CTSV went for the same price, and yes. I wish I went for the used Cadillac instead of the new Toyota.

    The market is definitely up on these fairly substantially. I bought a 13 GT500 with 15,000 miles on it back in 2016 for 43k. The car was almost flawless and probably 20k cheaper then I can get it for now. Clean ones look to be selling for 55-60k somewhat regularly. I like the spec on your car! I had the white with red strip, Recaros, SVT performance pkg, track pkg, shaker 1000 and no glass roof. Great cars and with a good driver this is a respectable road course car. These cars went under 7:40 on the nurburgring!

    Great video. Hard to add much to your comments… your take is spot on in every respect. I had a GT350 for 3 years … and after selling it, I was lucky to find my perfect ‘14 GT500 with 2900 miles two years ago. As great as the gt350 was, the gt500 is way more fun to drive. And yes super comfortable, no squeaks, rattles etc. My only gripe was the stock Goodyears that were dangerous for street driving … fixed that with Michelin PS4S all around which transformed the car completely. No plans to sell mine - I’ve owned a lot of cars and this one is truly special… guess because I am a true muscle car guy!

    • @autofanaticcars
      @autofanaticcars  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      hey thanks for watching and sharing, I started this channel 4 years ago regarding the GT350 ownership because I talked about it in so many videos that the GT350 is not for everyone and a true muscle car guy really wont love it or miss it and your a good example of that. We replaced the Goodyears those tires are horrible and dangerous on the street. new tires transformed the car to be much safer to drive. I love all of these cars and it is great to own, drive, modify, service, detail and share this with everyone on this platform. I still can not believe how the GT500 is tight as a drum still and my GT350R makes so many interior noises that it drives me insane chasing them down. Also the S197 model year 2014 the paint and build quality is far superior to any S550 still to this day it seems Ford really got it right on he last model run of these cars. They should be ashamed how poorly they build the S550 from 2014-2022 the paint and fit and finish reminds me of the 1965 models.

    Great video and I agree on all accounts! I have owned a few great mustangs. All seem to put a smile on my face just when I think I'm going to sell them, go drive it and I change my mind. The 2013 I had was a modified absolute beast! The power was insane! I enjoyed driving it and it is an experience like no other. However I like lighter cars that handle the curves with ease and are just as comfortable. The GT500 was very comfortable but feels heavy and has to work hard to stop. I drove mine for 4 years and made money so I'm happy but I'm moving on

    13-14 gt500 was truly a remarkable car I almost got one with 10k miles for 46k (I'm stupid for not buying it), but it was the 03-04 terminator Cobras that really allowed the average blue collar guys to get their hands on a great muscle car experience. Back when I was in high school the parking lot was filled with 88-93 fox bodies but when i finally got my eyes on a 93 Cobra I was sold, it was so much cooler than just a 5.0 fox.

    I remember as a kid having a bedroom poster of this car which is one of my dream car but in white with black stripes plus this car is underrated because it's the last proper mustang of the old school era. Plus the 2013 - 2014 GT500s are really rare compared to the likes of the GT350/GT350R which you see quite alot. The 2013 - 2014 GT500 is rare because it only had a production line of 2 years. Plus the GT350/GT350R production line was from 2016 to 2020. Don't get me wrong those cars are beautiful and amazing. But i will always pick the 2013 GT500 over it plus it was the last car Carroll Shelby worked on and saw before he passed away in 2012.

    I'm not quite sure how reliable that source is, I have a certificate that say it's one of about 4800 with that engine/transmission code, probably meaning they made about 4800 5.8L V8 GT500.

I briefly considered selling it and went to the dealer and they offered me 29,000 for it. I just laughed and walked out. I decided I am going to keep it from now on.

    I owed a 2013 GT500 for 3 years . loved it! i traded for a 2017 GT350 back at the beginning of 2018. as much as i miss the 500, i would not trade back. i wish i could have kept both but that would mean i would need to get rid of my 65 Fastback. ( which will not ever happen) . it took me 6 months of going back n forth on IF i should make the swap. I think i watched every gt350 video on the internet. This channel helped a TON on making the final decision as well. what it was for me is really just the huge tech difference's. the S197 was extremely dated with tech inside. another reason is my wife never really cared for the 500 and never wanted to drive it, for some reason she liked the 350 a lot better and still occasionally drives it from time to time. both bad ass cars, totally different animals in every way honestly

    • @autofanaticcars
      @autofanaticcars  ปีที่แล้ว

      the one thing that really sucks on the S197 is the lack of parking sensors and backup camera it is very easy to forget what car your in and hit something. the tech was dated for sure in that regard. they are both totally different cars for almost different purposes and driving roads I like both but if I had to choose one that would depend on my driving roads and how much I can use the car. the GT500 is more usable on my NY broken roads where as my GT350R is very rough on your entire body just cruising down the road. IRS helped with cornering and grip but Ford really could have done a much better job with ride comfort and spring and shock tuning where as the Camaro and Dodge cars are so much more livable.

In my eyes, everything else will be up or down but these 5 are the big winners. The 2013 GT500 is the last true Shelby ever made. It's the last manual GT500 and first Mustang to break 200mph.

    Granted, mine has the performance package, Track package, electronics package, navigation package PLUS a glass roof. It is in really good condition and I feel like it was worth the money I paid.

    I have a 2013 GT500 with about 20k miles on it... I bought it 3 years ago with 7700 miles on it, so I've driven it. Mountain driving, too.. and everything this guy says is 100% true! It's an amazing car! I also have a 2018 Mustang GT that I use as a track car. There is very little that I like more about the GT than the GT500. The GT500 is easier to drive, easier to heel & toe downshift, and the maintenance is WAY easier. Changing the oil on the GT is always a very messy situation with that stupid little door that always gets in the way and the plastic drain plug that only turns 1/2 a turn before it's spitting oil everywhere. The GT500 is just... easier. The only thing that the GT has over it is the handling with the IRS. That's it. The GT500 is freaking FAST, and you have to do quite a lot to make a regular GT as fast. You can't just bolt on a supercharger or a turbo charger.. you have to get the cooling worked out as well... and the clutch... and the axles... all of the things that the GT500 has already. And you know what? The GT500 is arguably a better looking car.

    Dont forget this is also the last manual gt500. I picked up an 07 GT500 with low miles last year and love it. I traded my 2015 S550 GT for it cause the new mustangs no longer have the raw muscle car feel. The solid axle is done so well on these and it grips way better off the line than my irs gt did. I also prefer the hydraulic steering of mine over the new electric steering that felt a bit disconnected from the road in my s550.

      Your story is almost the exact same as mine! I went from a 2015 GT PP car, to a 2008 C6, then to my 2008 GT500. The new Mustang is way too refined like the Vette. The GT500 is raw, "I want to kill you if you touch that pedal too much" kind of car. Love it! Mine already came with pulley, tune, intake, 3.73s so I gained about 100hp as well so its not much of a fair fight. The nice thing is the GT500 was cheaper and I love the S197 style best. :D

    Great vid thanks man. I traded my 15 S550 mustang GT for a low mile 07 GT500. Granted it has less hp than the 13-14s but I like its look and its crazy just a smaller pulley and some air intake stuff and it makes over 600 horses on the stock blower. It has super charger whine too - Ford seems to be dulling that sound for some reason in later models.

    You have nailed it. I am glad I that I wasn't the only one thinking those things. I have had a '14 GT500 triple black since new. In early '21 picked up a '20 GT350. I wasn't disappointed as it was a well mannered sports car. At that point I realized I was a die hard muscle car guy. Early '21 one of the cars had to go. It was a no brainier that the 350 would be one to go. Why are the '13 and '14 so undervalued. I suspect it will go by the way of the 69, 70 Boss 429. Compared to today up until 7-10 years ago the Boss 429 was undervalued for what it was. Look at them today one has to be a millionaire to have a Boss. To your question how many were built. Mine was 2247 of 4816 and 791 of 1656 in black. BTW the '14 is a hoot on the track. I do about 4 days a year. If it was me I would dump the R and get a '21 or 22 GT500. Thats the direction I am going.

    It’s surprising that these cars aren’t going for more. My local dealer had one up for $52k originally. A couple of months later the price was $42K. Don’t know what it ended up selling for. It looked a lot the one in your video but it was red. It had 4,200 miles on the odometer. Thought about buying it but I had no room for it in my garage.
    The lack of sales may have to do with the fact that only 18 percent of our population knows how to drive a manual. The 18 percent that know how to drive a stick and are Shelby fans probably prefer an S550 GT350.

    I just think it's the presence of the new GT500. Take the two cars you named early in the video. The 300ZX and Supra. Neither have worthy successors. Some might say the new Supra is worthy, but for the most part the market says otherwise. I am a huge fan of the 2013-14, but the handling on the new GT500 can't be passed up. I agree on your definition of true muscle car. The 2013-14 is closer to the 60's GT500 than the new Shelby. Also, hard to look past the manual.

    I think it’s mostly about handling. Shelby GT350 is the only all around driver’s car Ford has ever built. This Shelby competes with the dodge and Chevy muscle cars and will never be anything more than a drag oriented car. This Shelby does have the edge in that the engine is more legendary and reliable. Could mean GT350s hit a huge drop due to unreliable engines and these shoot up.
