The discontinued Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 may not have the supercar-beating horsepower and torque figures of the GT500 but it has something that car doesn’t: a naturally aspirated V8 engine.
In a world where the last great internal combustion engines will use forced induction or be hybridized, the 5.2-liter V8 of the Shelby GT350 is the type of engine that will be fondly remembered as one of the finest engines of its kind before the world switched to electric motors. With this in mind, now could be the best time to buy a used example before prices inevitably rise over the coming years.

One example of the Mustang Shelby GT350 is currently up for sale on Bring a Trailer and has been driven just 1,600 miles (2,574 km) since leaving the factory line. It is being offered with a window sticker, factory GT350 memorabilia, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Tennessee title.
Adorning the exterior of the pony car is an Oxford White paint scheme with blue racing stripes. Adding to the car’s aggressive looks are the black 19-inch aluminum wheels shod in 295/35 front and 305/35 rear Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. Other key features of the car include MagneRide dampers, independent rear suspension, and line-lock launch control. Potent Brembos provide the braking power.
The 5.2-liter engine of the GT350 is renowned for its use of a flat-plane crankshaft, meaning it sounds unlike any other Mustang. Moreover, it pumps out 526 hp and 429 lb-ft (581 Nm) and revs out to 8,250 rpm.
