The Shelby GT500 Coupe came up significantly in price with an MSRP of $46,325, the GT500 Convertible starts at $51,225. This is pretty reasonable when you consider you are getting a mechanical twin to the 2009 GT-500KR which has an $80,000 price tag.
“More than 9 million customers have made Mustang one of the world’s most beloved automotive and cultural icons,” said Ken Czubay, Ford's vice president of U.S. Sales and Marketing. “Making sure this modern legend lives up to their expectations has been our driving force to create the best Mustang ever.
