used car of the day 2016 ford mustang shelby gt350

We continue our Ford Friday -- it wasn't planned that way, I swear -- with this good-looking 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350.

We'll disclose right up front that the seller mentions the car has a rebuilt title due to left-front-end damage from when it had 13,000 miles -- it now has 21,000.

This car is for sale in the Chicago suburb of Lincolnwood. Only about 30 minutes, maybe less at the right time of day, from where I sit right now. If I had a bigger bank account I might be scooping this thing up -- damage be damned.

The car has the Track package. For what it's worth, the seller does appear to be a dealer, so keep that in mind.

Check it out here.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Slower than a Civic around the Nürburgring.
"If I had a bigger bank account I might be scooping this thing up" Tim, when is the last time you actually owned a vehicle? What are the actual odds of you purchasing one? You keep saying things like this, but it makes no sense.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to do some shopping, in case my bank account gets really big really quickly.

  Is it? The GT350R does it at 7:32, yes it's the R with carbon wheels, but there is no official time for the regular GT350. The new Civic Type-R did it at 7:44, which is clearly slower but still impressive, faster than a Gallardo and a few other fast cars.
  Though we later find out the Civic's time is based on a not yet released "S" variant that will only be sold in left hand drive European countries, not the UK or North America.

Tassos Tim is not that good with colors.The bright "pink" is not pink, but FUCHSIA. Both colors may look good on a woman's sweater, but not on steel panels.
Tassos While I was a very satisfied owner of a much earlier Accord COupe 5 speed (a 1990 I owned from 1994 to 2016), I don't like the exterior styling of this one so much, in fact the 2017 sedan looks better. Or maybe it sucks in white. The interior of my 1990 was very high quality, this one looks so-so. The 157 k miles were probably easy highway miles. Still, Hondas are not Toyotas, and I remember the same service (like timing belt replacement) back then cost TWICE for an Accord than for a Camry. Add to this that it has the accursed CVT, and it's a no. Not that I am in the market for a cheap econobox anyway.
3-On-The-Tree My 2009 C6 corvette in black looks great when it’s all washed and waxed but after driving down my 1.3 mile long dirt road it’s a dust magnet. I like white because dust doesn’t how up easily. Both my current 2021 Tundra and previous 2014 Ford F-150 3.5L Ecobomb are white
Bd2 Would be sweet on a Telluride.
Luke42 When will they release a Gladiator 4xe?I don’t care what color it is, but I do care about being able to plug it in.
