Why A 2013/14 Shelby GT500 Is A Solid Buy

- Nothing like taking the 2014 SVT Shelby GT500 for a drive on a chilly and rainy morning. I thought I'd take a couple cameras along for the ride and go over some of the reasons on why I think a 2014 (or 2013) SVT Shelby GT500 Mustang is a pretty good buy. These reasons were what sold me on the car 3 months ago and as times are changing for the worse, I think this generation of GT500 will be highly sought after as the years go on. Let me explain...
6:57 to 7:30 plays a clip from Road & Track. Full video: • 2013 Ford Shelby GT500...
I couldn’t agree more. I got my 2013 GT500 with 7500 miles for 48,500 in December of 2020. All summer I got calls from the dealership that I bought the car from offering me more money than what I bought the car for. This baby is staying with me forever though.
Dang man! I wish I would’ve been in position to do the same at the time. But in the long run I think I’m OK. Great buy!
Man you got a great deal! I traded in my 11 GT500 with just over 9,000 MI, for a 2014 GT500 with just over 13,000 mi and I still paid 51 for the 14 and I just now had it over a year now.
The dealership wants to get you in the door. Unless the offer has been signed off by the sales manager the second you walk in they will offer less. Trust me. Never let those slimes talk you into taking in your car. Keep her and enjoy the drive. The way Carroll intended. If after years pass and you put a ton of miles on her and some dude comes along and wants to pay obscene money since a working Shelby are super uncommon... then you can think about parting with her. Enjoy the drive.
Boy this didn’t age well. People who over paid applying the lube to rub each other out. Prices are falling these cars are sitting unsold they can even sell new mustangs. It’s a ford not a Ferrari. Cheap plastic interior. Low quality leather seats. And a clunky solid rear axel boy that screams investment. Anyone who paid 48k for an 8 year old car that sold for 53-59k new should be ashamed nor jerk themselves off. You got taken and are bragging that’s an idiot

What about the 07-09 ‘s 🥲
@@nestor3246 Also great buys and they have their own unique brownie points. If I had more money & space I’ll buy one
do they make supercharge noise like the hellcats?
Damn right it’s a solid investment. 2010-14 is the best class Mustangs created, not to mention how cool these cars look. Even if they lose value they’re still just a beautiful car to own and will never go out of style.
For now, 2006 and newer Mustangs aren't losing their value. In fact. They are appreciating!! I picked up my 12'GT in 2015 for $23,900. It was my daily but I kept the miles down and presently valued at what I paid for it!!! Check out book prices as well as what dealers are asking for a 2010 and newer Mustangs.
@@bernieowens4360 That’s a ton of car for $24k!!
Traction in my GT 500 is TOUGH TO SEE.BUT IN MY SUPER SNAKES ESPECIALLY MY 900HP VERSION JUST NEEDED WIDER TIRES.LOL THE STOCK PERELI TIRES SHELBY PUT ON BEING 275s WERE A JOKE LOL EVEN MY CONVERTIBLE SUPER SNAKE WITH ROUGHLY 650hp IS A ISSUE HOOKING UP.
All computer cars go out of style. I have a 2003 Mustang GT converted to 15" wheels and real tires that I use as a transportation car. It is already out of style, and has lost most of it's original MSRP value, despite being in excellent condition. I just wanted a relatively inexpensive V8 powered 2 door rear wheel drive American car with a solid rear axle, and the Mustang was the only real choice.
@@geraldscott4302 Wrong..your 2003 Body style is out of style but the 2010-14 Mustang body style is classic and will never go out of style. These models were designed to look similar to the old Shelby Mustangs, that’s another reason why they’re so popular and a good collectible. Nobody is collecting 2003 Mustangs lol
10 Reasons the 13/14 GT500 is the best.
1) First Mustang to reach 200 mph stock
2) Reaches 60 mph in first gear
3) No gas tax and gets 26 MPG HWY
4) Last (at this time) manual GT500
5) Engine, suspension, brakes, drive shaft all upgraded
6) Can compete with cars double the price
7) All new set up compared to 07-12 Shelbys
8) Gears are tall so it's an excellent cruiser
9) No major issues like engine (GT350) or transmission (MT82)
10) Finally, Carroll Shelby made Mustang really shine in the 1960s. While Ford did most of the work after 1966, this was the last Shelby he saw and rode in, stating how great and special it was. His dream was to build a race car the average working man could afford. I feel like the 13/14 GT500 is the result of that dream. It was bought in the high 50s and lower 60s and could smoke 150k cars.
I can attest that the engine is bulletproof. I've had mine in Germany the last 6 years and the only thing negative that has happened is one of the plastic coolant caps let a little coolant blow out. I cleaned it off and everything is good to go and she continues to ride between 120 to 150+ MPH on the autobahns. There are very few sections of the autobahns where you can get near 200 MPH as there is always some sort of maintenance going on or you run into someone who shouldn't be in the left lane.
This was my dream car as a little kid and still is up to this very day 🙏💯❤️😍😍, I hope to get this car one day.
I have a 2013 deep impact blue/no stripe glass roof GT500. I see nothing but upside in price for these. When I first went to buy one from new, the dealer wanted 25K over sticker and I told him he was nuts and I ceased to look for one because prices were out of control and finding the specifications that I wanted I knew wasn't going to happen. But I continued to look around and about a year later, I sourced one that was up for sale at a dealer out of state in Iowa. It had 3700 miles on it and I knew it was what I looking for. The negotiated sales price was $59K on an example that originally had a sticker price of just under $70 K. Mine is a garage queen ( I know, but I do have a small collection) and now has 4000 miles on it. Per the Marti report it is 1 out of 7 made as mine is. Thanks for the always informative and fun videos.
Thanks for sharing! Always love hearing about other’s GT500s. Hey, nothing wrong with keeping the miles low as long as they stretch their legs now and then haha. I can certainly understand it especially if you have a nice collection.
Its 2 years later, do you still feel the same about the value? I know nothing about these and am trying to figure out if their going up or down in value.
@@petebusch9069 Time fly's for sure. Its nice that Google posts replies to e-mail's. Yes I sure do, more so now as time moves on. I've been a collector through out my life and own a few cars that are 50 plus years old. A common thread in all of this is that cars (for the most part) need to get about 20 years old before prices can start to really appreciate. I won't make predictions on price, it really doesn't matter in the scheme of things because what is important is what the hobby does for you. If you want to use them as a driver, the best they will do is maintain price. So, the problem is, to get top prices, that mileage really needs to stay low, almost the lower the better. My GT 500 now has just over 4000 miles on it. High mileage cars will always depreciate to the low end. Personally I like garage queens and have 5 cars in my collection. You get in them when the mood strikes and that works for me. The rest of the time they are on battery maintainers.
I have a 2012, and I love it. I bought it new and now it has 16k miles on it. And these cars they only gonna go up in value. The new generation are going to be impressed when they go to car shows and look at these cars with a manual transmission. They just don’t know what they’ve missed. Great video!!!
I paid 32k for my 2011 GT500 almost 3 years ago. It had 17k miles on it. Today it’s worth 42k with 20k miles. Fun as hell to drive.
This really is my dream car thoo😊I remember when it came out I was like 14 years old saw it on a magazine of motor trend I used to love all cars until I saw this one😍 been Mustang guy ever since 🐍
Great video! All of the points you made were spot on. The driving experience of a manual is a huge factor for me + all of that torque. I have the exact same GT500 as you and absolutely love it. It’s here to stay for a long time.
Yes they are a ton of fun and the amount of thumbs up i get while driving it are awesome! I have a 13 and channel on here too. Nothing huge just some stuff I put together. I bought mine at the right time last July with only 10k on her. Since then the value has shot through the roof. Finally have my dream car in my stable. Best of luck with yours!
Watched this video over a year ago and knew I always wanted one of these, but I swayed away because I couldn't afford it and I didn't know how to drive stick shift yet. I had a 2019 GT with the 10 speed auto, I sold that car a few months ago and recently purchased my 14' GT500 and learning stick shift on it. What a wild ride it is.
Thanks for sharing. I recently picked up an 07 gt500 with 30k miles on it. It has the carol shelby signature plate between the center vents. I’m hoping the official signature helps with value. Anyways I love it and I traded my late model mustang gt for it. I prefer solid axle also. Its the 5.4 liter.
Oh man, plenty of brownie points with that car. Love that body style, and the signature is a huge bonus. I would love that car!
P.S
People that are working that can afford these cars??
Not any more
If you’re referring to this car, they are still selling for a hair under their original MSRP. If you’re referring to the new GT500, yeah that’s a bit up there now haha 😭
@@TexasRevving
Even yours now is a tough find
Hang on and you can't go wrong.
Yours will be the most collectable of all.
If you remotely think on selling let me know but I promise you you'll cry.
This has been my dream car for ages. Eventually I'll get one as for now I have a 2013 v6 which I'm modding to get the most potential from. Hopefully I don't expire before I can afford the 2013 Gt500.
There are one thing I didn’t understand about this model of gt500s its the rpm settings for launch control some 13 14 gt500s can mange the rpm from 2400-5200 and there are a same 13 14 models can mange it only from 3000-4500 rpm
I have a 2014 too and i've been told that is because the below 3000 and above 4500 are of an absolute no use ;-)
Personally i would rather have a 2011-2012 and mod it. 5.4 is tough as nails. Love the gt500 tho
I’m biased - but many of your points are the reason I bought my ‘14 GT500 almost 1 1/2 years ago. As you say the experience is important. I have way more fun driving this than the ‘16 GT350 I had before it. No doubt it will hold value.
You did not overpay man. I just bought a 2013 with 8400 miles for 60k in South Florida. Scope out Bring-A-Trailer and you'll see manual cars from the early 2000s getting crazy money. Someone just paid 91k for an 05 M3 with like 5k miles on it. These are going to be $100k cars in 10 years. Mark my words!
I don’t doubt that, tough regulations start cracking down in 2030. Hoping to buy some of my dream cars before then 🤞
The market seems to have softened a little, but do you still stand by your opinion toady in (2024)?
Amazing video, love the editing and appreciate the honesty.........this car is in my future to buy!!
Its almost 2025 now, are these still a good value?
NO computer car will ever be a solid buy. They will always depreciate, especially when all those computer parts become unavailable. A completely original stock 1967 Shelby GT500 would be a great buy, and will continue to appreciate forever. They are also a LOT more fun to drive, although I consider them to be too valuable to drive very much. It's not just their monetary value, but their rarity. If you destroy one, it is irreplaceable. With the new ones, at least if you destroy one, you haven't destroyed anything but a bunch of computer parts.
You forgot to mention that it was also the last year you could get a convertible.
GT500-This car is going up in value... Last Manual!!!! Values are going up!!! Great Videos
Its 2 years later now, are values still going up? I know nothing about the value of these cars and am trying to figure out if its increasing or decreasing?
I just love the look of s197 2014 premium v6 and i dont mind thw haters i love that car and most stock v8 im giving them hell if not winning a tune 3.7 is a pretty fun ....Nice car bro
I know I'm two years late to the party on this. Mine is a 13 with all options. Be it worth $1 or $1000000, I'm keeping it forever.
2014 Shelby GT500 is the last true Shelby mustang. The last car the great Carroll Shelby had input on. The last true muscle car. 15 and up are European style sport car.
Excellent video, couldn't agree with you more! I bought the car for exactly the same reasons you saw in it. Mine had 20K on the odometer and is a convertible and paid 56k for it about a year ago. I think they are the last of their breed solid axle manual transmission and big horsepower. What a more perfect recipe for a great driver experience. I am an older guy 60 years old but raced karts in my younger years and snagged a couple of big trophies at regional events in the kart world and I say that because this car reminds of the experience I got when racing karts. Not not that they are that similar in specs, but the adrenaline rush you get when driving this car is similar to doing close to 100mph in a kart with your butt half an inch off the pavement and drafting somebody a quarter inch off their bumper. It's the adrenaline rush you get whether it's trying to beat somebody on the track or handling big horsepower mustang when it's trying to Buck you off LOL
I bought a 14 GT 500 about 2 1/2 months ago and I agree completely with your opinions great video and good looking car.
Only an investment if you don't drive it and keep mileage low
Nice Review! She is a Beauty! Thanks for sharing your experience! 🐍🐍
You most definitely did not overpay. That’s spot on for a car with that mileage
12-13’ Boss 302 is another beast! Even more rare than the GT500.
Very true!
Enjoyed the video. I would not own an automatic sports car nor pony car nor muscle car.
Amen, 35yo here. Purchased my '13 Jan. 2020 for $50k after tax n tags ($46,5xx before) Performance pack option, NO TP/Recaro's/Nav/Sub. Purchased with 13,162mi, now around 15,750mi. Last of the GT500 manuals and the last car Carroll himself helped design.... It is ONLY going to go up in value.
Can get about $51-53k right now and that is only going up with minimal added miles. Winter time in NEPA anyways. With that said, am trying to order a '22 CFTP GT500 right now. Working my ass off to hopefully keep the '13, but may have to part in order to get this at time of delivery.
Man, I’ve been trying to order a CFTP 500 for years and I’ve only been laughed at by the dealers :/
Are 45,000 miles alot on these cars? I saw one with 45,000 for a pretty good price but I'm not sure if that's alot of miles on these? Can anyone help?
Dude 45k isn't alot on any modern car lol. Even 100k isn't alot if it's well maintained. People focus too much on miles. Focus on taking care of the car and maintaining it that is far more important than miles imo.
2yrs ago I was heavily looking for a 13-14 as prices were still sub $40k. Current car market everything is worth more but the 13-14 have plateaued. They'll do nothing but go up in value. Now on manuals and high hp cars, they just don't mix. Stability suffers massively due to the upset between shifts. Don't count out the possibility of a sequential transmission in a future Cobra, to give owners the feel of going through the gears.
Picked up a 14 a few months ago with 6500 miles. 67k. Prices are high! I did trade in my z06 for 74k so it worked out and i paid $0 in sales tax. The car is a blast to drive!
I am looking at one now. 68K 4,000 mile.Is the clutch pedal hard to push in on yours? They say its the assist clutch spring is too heavy. Thanks!
Take it out. It will still be stiff, but smoother travel.
@@Fury5.010r Thanks
Great car that will only go up in value.
Earned a sub. +like thank you! 🙂
I owned a 13 and 14 mustang, moved to a 15 gt and now a 19 bullitt and am currently borrowing a buddies 14gt and can confidently say I will never own another s197 chassis ever again. Unless you are absolutely infatuated with it’s looks it’s worse than a s550 in every measure. I understand it’s older but comparing a 14 to a 15 feels like a 10 year gap not 1
Since you mentioned your experience I’ll mention mine, I bought a 2017 GT350 first and the 2014 GT500 later. I can confidently say it’s not obsolete, just a different era. There’s things to appreciate about both generations.
@@TexasRevving some people are scared of the raw feeling these cars have they want them totally glued to the road and refined. I like the older raw feeling some people like it the other way it's all in what you want.
Wrong on sticker..got my triple black at MSRP with every option except Nav and glass roof.. 62 if I remember correctly. Garage queen, 78 k. Only a sucker pays adm.
Wanted a GT500 a few years ago but they were just too expensive so I picked up a 2013 GT. Maybe one day I can snag a 500
Cool car
My 07 gt500 has that carol shelby autographed name plate on the dash and he introduced the 07 since it was the first gt500 after 40 years… I’m just trying to make myself feel better for owning an old iron block one :/
I’ve Owned My 2014 Shelby GT500 For 6 Years I Bought It 9/18/15 Fro $45K And I’ve Been Offered $85K For It And I Only Have 16,527MI On It
We brought our `13 to Germany and she loves the autobahns but not a big fan of the snow, so I have my `18 Focus RS AWD. I'll never sell it, I just enjoy driving it. I drive it all the time when the weather is good. I also want to get a 2016+ GT350. In your opinion which is the best year for the GT350?
I have a 2014 GT500 w/ performance and track pac, bought it June 2020 for an absolute steal. The car has nothing but upside. Worth vastly more than I paid for it.
I’m from the uk always drive a manual hate automatics crap driving experience
The 13-14 GT500 is the last real SHELBY GT500 from the factory.
Also the last one Carroll Shelby worked on before he died.
@@MrVocalist567 yes sir
Also the only one with the 5.8
@@Orangetaco22 yep!
It’s also the last affordable car for the working class. Rip Mr. Shelby
My goal is to get a 2014 gt500 in 1 or 2 years. I def plan on selling my paxton fbo 5.0
I have had mine since 2015 and I love it. And I ain't selling it no matter the price lol.
Thanks for posting the video - Nice 2014 GT-500!
How would this compare to a newer model Camaro ZL1
Shelby GT350 has gotta be the best buy in todays market
It's a great platform, even in stock trim it will blow you away.
I paid 64 for my 13, it had 1747 miles on it.
Finding this kind of video for a week.Thanks a lot ❤️
beautiful
the manual is the only way to go you got more control of the car
Wow, 6:58 they testing the S197 Shelby Stang on the track without the hood completely latched...Carroll Shelby turning in his grave...sorry sir, I just spot mistakes before it becomes a hazard...RIP sir, loved all your Shelbys, including the Plymouth Shelby CSX (Carroll Shelby Xperiment)
It is completely latched, what looks like a gap is tape
One of the best cars ever made by Ford!
Damn I didn't know the 06 was that fast !
Shelbys is Very Beautiful i love them
Like it is going to hook up on a wet road, WTF
Makes me not want to drive anything else
It does have a built-in roll bar?
Has anyone ever put a TH400 behind the 2013-2104 GT500?
Alex Flores has a built one with that trans and it ruined it for everything but drag racing so unless it's a drag only car I would not do that. If it's a street car keep the manual in it.
Then why are so many selling them for ss camaros. They look great but
I haven’t seen that. I don’t know how to answer that, to me it’s more than just looking good. It’s an excellent car.
I never saw one in Germany
Would love to have a gray '14 with blue stripes.
Ooo, good combo
Have a 13 and a 14. Just got a Camaro LT1 w/ Manuel
MANUEL!
Have you driven a Camaro 1LE or ZL1 manual? I traded my 21 Mustang GT in for a 2018 1LE and it was the best decision ever.
I have, they just didn’t tickle my pickle
I looked at the zl1s, i am not a fan of the camaro interiors. The 14 gt500 is sinister and looks that way too. I have a blast driving it.
@kiddt1999 exact reason I haven't really looked a ZL1. They have a horrible interior.
Just a pain in the ass to drive
What?! Lol, it’s easy to putter around town with this thing no problem.
@@TexasRevving it’s a great weekend car but as a daily trust it gets tough, but it is a great cruiser, I’m just a new driver and I’ve been driving my dads 2013 gt500 and it’s just a lot of car, I know manual cuz I drive a manual Honda but this thing is a true handful…. I just have to get used to the clutch and the 700 hp, Plus I’m 14😂
@@bloom3509 Oh it’s just about getting used to it. Put 500 miles on it and it becomes your friend and you don’t mind driving it slowly haha
You could never have been able to drive a 60's Mustang then. No power steering, no power brakes, no air conditioning and, no traction control.
@@TexasRevvingIAM SURE YOU WILL AGREE LOL MY 93 COBRA IS A STICK ONLY AND ALL THE WAY TO 2014 ARE STICK CARS AND WHY BECAUSE IT IS MUCH MORE DESIRABLE AND ASIDE FROM THE FIRST YEAR OF MY 07 427 EDITION SUPER SNAKE IS GOING TO BE VERY VALUABLE BUT ALOT OF GUY'S RATHER HAVE THE 13 14 5.8 VS THE 5.4 IN MY 07 AND 10 SUPER SNAKE AND I THINK THE 5.4 CAN HANDLE A LOT OF POWER AND THE 5.8 ALSO CAN REALLY MAKE A LOT OF POWER AND I EXCEPT THE 07 TOO 14 SUPER SNAKES ARE GOING TO BE BIG MONEY IN THE FUTURE BUT POSSIBLY THE 13 14 WILL BE WORTH THE MOST SUPER SNAKE OF ALL.
It will go down once things change with the chips and Covid-19, I believe your wrong if you think it will go up in the future, down it will come.
Doubt. Before all this “chip shortage” talk, the last of the manual Ferraris, Lamborghinis, etc. where sky rocketing. Can you imagine a GT500 without a manual?!! (among the other things mentioned) Crazy we even live in that world. She’s a classic now and will only continue to be appreciated. Time will tell but there’s just no chance it will be worth any less than it is now in 5 or 10 years time. But since you think otherwise, just how low do you think it will go?
You most certianly, "VERY-WRONG" ..PAL!!!🤣🤣 TONY S. USMC-VFW🇺🇸 LOVE MY 2 13&14 GT-500's. $$$ in the bank ordered them both new!!! Boom👊🏻 ( AND YES TEXAS REVVING YOU ARE CORRECT!!!!) SMART MAN!!!👍🏻
Nope it doesn’t look good.
Lol, you’re in the minority
Dude drive it. At 48,500 you may pat yourself on the back for it's low mileage, but no one is going to give you a second glance if they are looking for low mileage examples. Maybe once the car is 30 years old and kept in mint shape and they are rolling that bad boy up to the auction at Barrett Jackson will you get investment type of dollars returned. What I am saying is drive her. Be gentle, but drive her. Enjoy the car.
Brooo I really miss my 2013. Thinking about getting another one and trading my 2020 Scatpack Charger. It’s just a beautiful machine. 🫵🏽😎💯
