2013 Shelby GT500 development car to be auctioned at Barrett-Jackson for charity

Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Auctions, Ford



For the last several years Ford has partnered with Barrett-Jackson to auction off some very special vehicles for charity. Past cars have included the first production examples of the Shelby GT500KR and Shelby GT as well as special one-offs like last year's Grabber Blue Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca, all of which have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

For 2012 Ford is once again auction off a Mustang for charity, but this year's car is a little different. Up for grabs will be a 2013 Shelby GT500 development car used by SVT to hone the production 'Stang. This prototype was run extensively at Sebring and the high speed oval at Ford's Arizona proving grounds and was even driven by Carroll Shelby himself during the development process. The car has some unique features including a full roll cage and Recaro racing seats, but it will likely remain a museum piece as it can't be registered for road use.

Very cool.

[Hotshot]

going to a great cause. And too bad it can't be registered and driven to car shows, it'd have to be trailered

This didn't seem right so I checked over on TeamShelby.com. And it is a good example of why you shouldn't trust everything you see on the internet. Autoblog used stock pics of a 2013 GT500. Here's the real car being auctioned...

That TVS looks great under the hood. Still cant believe with all that power they still use a fragile paper filter though

They should have left the tvs black in my opinion like roush or ford racing sell it, it looks more after market and more impressive in my opinion. James the paper filter flows extraordinarily well when clean its the fact that it cant be cleaned very well thats beat

[PWRBY4D]

i agree. should have left the lid black.
