2014 Shelby GT500 | The Most Undervalued Muscle Car

[@joshsprabary6089]

I have a 2013 gt500 with just over 700whp that I daily drive. It has been driven across the country on multiple occasions and currently has 112,000 miles. It’s incredibly reliable and hasn’t lost its wow factor when going full throttle. Not worried about the value of it because this will be one of the cars I keep. All around great car that I encourage people to experience.

[@nickemangione]

Give this another 10 years. Right now these are in that weird "it's just a used car" position. Real car guys know it's special but even the 2004 Cobras don't command much money and the story behind the terminator is fascinating.

[@autofanaticcars]

crazy look at what Fox body are going for now, growing up those were $19k junk boxes we would buy to drag race at Englishtown and they were so easy to mod. I hope these 14 GT500 start going up soon because these are really great cars to drive and own.

At this point they are holding value extremely well. For a car less than ten years old it’s not bad. Young man, be patient.

My father ordered his 14 GT500 brand new same color and convertible no less. Badass car and he loves it. Incredible experience laying into the throttle with the air moving right above you. It’ll be a long time before I inherit that beauty. For now I’ll enjoy my 85 GT also his old car, he seems to have an eye for things that are great.

[@Butyistherumgon]

I’ve never really been a Mustang guy, but the 2013-2014 body style really did it for me. And 662HP with a 200MPH top speed, how can you hate it? I plan on buying a used Giulia QV some time next year, but owning this car would be special, especially considering they go for the same price as a used QV.

[@autofanaticcars]

very different experiences for sure I get to drive them all and i love switching up cars so often daily or weekly. QV is great it is now 4 years owning my own and il have a video up soon on this because it is the longest i ever owned a car in my life.

[@iraqifoodcart8447]

If they go for the same price, why not say Fuck the QV and go for the Shelby? A year ago when I bought a 2022 Corolla Hatchback with a 6 speed manual, I had no idea that a used 2011 Cadillac CTSV went for the same price, and yes. I wish I went for the used Cadillac instead of the new Toyota. Food for thought.

The market is definitely up on these fairly substantially. I bought a 13 GT500 with 15,000 miles on it back in 2016 for 43k. The car was almost flawless and probably 20k cheaper then I can get it for now. Clean ones look to be selling for 55-60k somewhat regularly. I like the spec on your car! I had the white with red strip, Recaros, SVT performance pkg, track pkg, shaker 1000 and no glass roof. Great cars and with a good driver this is a respectable road course car. These cars went under 7:40 on the nurburgring!

Great video. Hard to add much to your comments… your take is spot on in every respect. I had a GT350 for 3 years … and after selling it, I was lucky to find my perfect ‘14 GT500 with 2900 miles two years ago. As great as the gt350 was, the gt500 is way more fun to drive. And yes super comfortable, no squeaks, rattles etc. My only gripe was the stock Goodyears that were dangerous for street driving … fixed that with Michelin PS4S all around which transformed the car completely. No plans to sell mine - I’ve owned a lot of cars and this one is truly special… guess because I am a true muscle car guy!

[@autofanaticcars]

hey thanks for watching and sharing, I started this channel 4 years ago regarding the GT350 ownership because I talked about it in so many videos that the GT350 is not for everyone and a true muscle car guy really wont love it or miss it and your a good example of that. We replaced the Goodyears those tires are horrible and dangerous on the street. new tires transformed the car to be much safer to drive. I love all of these cars and it is great to own, drive, modify, service, detail and share this with everyone on this platform. I still can not believe how the GT500 is tight as a drum still and my GT350R makes so many interior noises that it drives me insane chasing them down. Also the S197 model year 2014 the paint and build quality is far superior to any S550 still to this day it seems Ford really got it right on he last model run of these cars. They should be ashamed how poorly they build the S550 from 2014-2022 the paint and fit and finish reminds me of the 1965 models.

In the future there will be 5 main cars that bring money from 1994-2022. 94/00 Cobra R, 03/04 Terminator, 12/13 Boss 302, 13 GT500 and 19/20 GT350R. In my eyes, everything else will be up or down but these 5 are the big winners. The 2013 GT500 is the last true Shelby ever made. It's the last manual GT500 and first Mustang to break 200mph. The market will fluctuate but this car is it.

[@donjerlis]

I have a 2013 GT 500 and it is one of the cleanest ones out there with 20,000 miles on it. Not a scratch on it in or out. I briefly considered selling it and went to the dealer and they offered me 29,000 for it. I just laughed and walked out. I decided I am going to keep it from now on. But I just don’t see how they will not go up in value. Especially one that is stock and hasn’t been modded or wrecked.

[@autofanaticcars]

yeah typical dealer screw ball offer you 29k then will put on his lot for $59k

[@davidkuhfeld4712]

Owning an 14 GT 500 with just under 23 000 miles, it is such an awesome car to drive but man value of low mileage ones will probably shoot up. Like you said thats one exhilarating car absolutely love it, thank you for giving credit to this beast of a car. I'm not quite sure how reliable that source is, I have a certificate that say it's one of about 4800 with that engine/transmission code, probably meaning they made about 4800 5.8L V8 GT500.

13-14 gt500 was truly a remarkable car I almost got one with 10k miles for 46k (I'm stupid for not buying it), but it was the 03-04 terminator Cobras that really allowed the average blue collar guys to get their hands on a great muscle car experience. Back when I was in high school the parking lot was filled with 88-93 fox bodies but when i finally got my eyes on a 93 Cobra I was sold, it was so much cooler than just a 5.0 fox.

[@autofanaticcars]

I still want a 93 Cobra but prices are insane now for good ones i think I missed the boat on those

[@clevlandblock]

These cars have exactly the right blend of old school and new tech. Low mileage, stock examples should be bringing six figures before long.

[@JesseJamesRTOFA]

Love mine too. All original. Only 5k miles on it. We’ll see how this goes, I also predicted a huge increase in value over the next few years.

[@autofanaticcars]

yeah this is why I made this video to discuss how undervalued they are when people are overpaying for mass produced Dodges and Camaros still.

[@joeyn7399]

I was actually looking at these 2 years ago and these have gone up in value quite a bit since Covid. Plus you have the best color combo. I think these will drop in value when the market does but will end up holding its value over time as to compared to their original msrp. These are selling about the same price they sold when new.

[@chrislambros1444]

I bought my 2013 GT500 with 7900 miles on it in February for 69,000. I'm not sure about now, but back then, you couldn't find one for much cheaper. I looked around today, and couldn't find any 13/14's in the 40 range. Even Bringatrailer sells them for a lot more. Granted, mine has the performance package, Track package, electronics package, navigation package PLUS a glass roof. It is in really good condition and I feel like it was worth the money I paid. I've wanted one since they came out in 2007. It's fantastic finally being able to own and drive one. If you can afford one, buy it!

[@autofanaticcars]

nice to hear when I had this one for sale months back and in 2021 it was nothing but lowball dreamers with no money offering mid 50s and this has less miles than the one you bought and all the same options. there are some on the market currently priced all over but not sure how many are selling these days. There is a new gray one with no miles on Ebay for 75k currently. surprised nobody grabbed it yet.

[@drewsky1967]

I owed a 2013 GT500 for 3 years . loved it! i traded for a 2017 GT350 back at the beginning of 2018. as much as i miss the 500, i would not trade back. i wish i could have kept both but that would mean i would need to get rid of my 65 Fastback. ( which will not ever happen) . it took me 6 months of going back n forth on IF i should make the swap. I think i watched every gt350 video on the internet. This channel helped a TON on making the final decision as well. what it was for me is really just the huge tech difference's. the S197 was extremely dated with tech inside. another reason is my wife never really cared for the 500 and never wanted to drive it, for some reason she liked the 350 a lot better and still occasionally drives it from time to time. both bad ass cars, totally different animals in every way honestly

[@autofanaticcars]

the one thing that really sucks on the S197 is the lack of parking sensors and backup camera it is very easy to forget what car your in and hit something. the tech was dated for sure in that regard. they are both totally different cars for almost different purposes and driving roads I like both but if I had to choose one that would depend on my driving roads and how much I can use the car. the GT500 is more usable on my NY broken roads where as my GT350R is very rough on your entire body just cruising down the road. IRS helped with cornering and grip but Ford really could have done a much better job with ride comfort and spring and shock tuning where as the Camaro and Dodge cars are so much more livable.

[@fearless144]

I remember as a kid having a bedroom poster of this car which is one of my dream car but in white with black stripes plus this car is underrated because it's the last proper mustang of the old school era. Plus the 2013 - 2014 GT500s are really rare compared to the likes of the GT350/GT350R which you see quite alot. The 2013 - 2014 GT500 is rare because it only had a production line of 2 years. Plus the GT350/GT350R production line was from 2016 to 2020. Don't get me wrong those cars are beautiful and amazing. But i will always pick the 2013 GT500 over it plus it was the last car Carroll Shelby worked on and saw before he passed away in 2012.

[@potatodonkey1856]

You are definitely correct about people needing to respect the power, mustangs get a bad wrap because people just but them and think they’re a professional driver all of a sudden. You have to know both your limits and the cars. Like you briefly showed, you can’t just floor it out of a corner or mid corner. That being said, the older live axels are fun if you know how to properly control it. One of the last true embodiments of an old school muscle car. Wish I could afford one of those before they go for crazy money.

[@scottrothmann8310]

Great video and I agree on all accounts! I have owned a few great mustangs. All seem to put a smile on my face just when I think I'm going to sell them, go drive it and I change my mind. The 2013 I had was a modified absolute beast! The power was insane! I enjoyed driving it and it is an experience like no other. However I like lighter cars that handle the curves with ease and are just as comfortable. The GT500 was very comfortable but feels heavy and has to work hard to stop. I drove mine for 4 years and made money so I'm happy but I'm moving on

Its a monster of a car. Very quick and pulled up top so hard forever. Awes[ome car. Buy one now cause soon theyll be hard to get.

[@1234zcrom]

Dont forget this is also the last manual gt500. I picked up an 07 GT500 with low miles last year and love it. I traded my 2015 S550 GT for it cause the new mustangs no longer have the raw muscle car feel. The solid axle is done so well on these and it grips way better off the line than my irs gt did. I also prefer the hydraulic steering of mine over the new electric steering that felt a bit disconnected from the road in my s550.

[@autofanaticcars]

[@biffbastion301]

Your story is almost the exact same as mine! I went from a 2015 GT PP car, to a 2008 C6, then to my 2008 GT500. The new Mustang is way too refined like the Vette. The GT500 is raw, "I want to kill you if you touch that pedal too much" kind of car. Love it! Mine already came with pulley, tune, intake, 3.73s so I gained about 100hp as well so its not much of a fair fight. The nice thing is the GT500 was cheaper and I love the S197 style best. :D

I have a 2013 GT500 with about 20k miles on it... I bought it 3 years ago with 7700 miles on it, so I've driven it. Mountain driving, too.. and everything this guy says is 100% true! It's an amazing car! I also have a 2018 Mustang GT that I use as a track car. There is very little that I like more about the GT than the GT500. The GT500 is easier to drive, easier to heel & toe downshift, and the maintenance is WAY easier. Changing the oil on the GT is always a very messy situation with that stupid little door that always gets in the way and the plastic drain plug that only turns 1/2 a turn before it's spitting oil everywhere. The GT500 is just... easier. The only thing that the GT has over it is the handling with the IRS. That's it. The GT500 is freaking FAST, and you have to do quite a lot to make a regular GT as fast. You can't just bolt on a supercharger or a turbo charger.. you have to get the cooling worked out as well... and the clutch... and the axles... all of the things that the GT500 has already. And you know what? The GT500 is arguably a better looking car.

You have nailed it. I am glad I that I wasn't the only one thinking those things. I have had a '14 GT500 triple black since new. In early '21 picked up a '20 GT350. I wasn't disappointed as it was a well mannered sports car. At that point I realized I was a die hard muscle car guy. Early '21 one of the cars had to go. It was a no brainier that the 350 would be one to go. Why are the '13 and '14 so undervalued. I suspect it will go by the way of the 69, 70 Boss 429. Compared to today up until 7-10 years ago the Boss 429 was undervalued for what it was. Look at them today one has to be a millionaire to have a Boss. To your question how many were built. Mine was 2247 of 4816 and 791 of 1656 in black. BTW the '14 is a hoot on the track. I do about 4 days a year. If it was me I would dump the R and get a '21 or 22 GT500.

I agree on your definition of true muscle car. The 2013-14 is closer to the 60's GT500 than the new Shelby. Also, hard to look past the manual.

Set it and forget it where in real life you have to "drive" a GT500 more and know the car to enjoy it. I love em both but my dream cars right now 2010-14 GT500,2013 BOSS 302 LeGuna Seca,2011-2014 GT/CS,and a Q50 RS400 AWD for the family. I'd also take a RAM 1500 Sport Crew Cab 4x4 for the family. The girls like power,fun,and car shows.

[@TripleThreatMustang]

Great video! You are so right! I grew up w fox Saleens and just traded in a 911 for a 2013 Boss 302 and could not be happier! My best friend has the 14 GT500 and it is scary!

[@autofanaticcars]

Boss 302 are awesome 😎

[@danpatterson8009]

I have a twin of this car that I bought new. Don't drive it much, just cruise around once in a while. It has the most marvelous sound. It would be nice if it appreciates in value, but I'll never sell it anyway.

[@autofanaticcars]

awesome and keep enjoying yours

As for why they aren't more popular, my first thought would be that they were the last years before they went to IRS.

The 2014 supersnake is my dream car... wish it was still being made

[@autofanaticcars]

there are a few Super Snakes for sale i hear for around 100K

[@zachbrossett]

Loved the video coverage, this has been my dream car for the past 2+ years and after the September debut for the dark horse (primarily because it’s manual with 500hp) I’m absolutely torn between the two.

[@LeadfootLou]

It’s surprising that these cars aren’t going for more. My local dealer had one up for $52k originally. A couple of months later the price was $42K. Don’t know what it ended up selling for. It looked a lot the one in your video but it was red. It had 4,200 miles on the odometer. Thought about buying it but I had no room for it in my garage. The lack of sales may have to do with the fact that only 18 percent of our population knows how to drive a manual. The 18 percent that know how to drive a stick and are Shelby fans probably prefer an S550 GT350.

[@autofanaticcars]

yes America has become the laziest society on this planet and even worse over the last 2.5 years with nobody wanting to work or do anything anymore let alone shift gears. such a shame what happened to our culture in short time. I think all of these cars whether S197 or S550 should be enjoyed by all sorts of enthusiasts because of the manual gearboxes.

[@a.d.5274]

I have a 13 GT500 . I don't know if you have any more of the 350 wheels sitting around if you do I would love to see you experiment with the GT500 with those wheels.

Bought mine new 2014. Only has 2490 miles on it. Loaded with all options including the Track-Pac. I have all of the factory documentation. Its Red and a Convertible. And its For Sale.

A muscle car in simple terms is "The biggest engine block you can stick in a coupe". And to me personally muscle cars really kicked off in the 70's idk maybe I'm wrong 🤷‍♂️

[@stephenolenik]

Great video...I purchased a black with black stripe 2014 example with 979 miles for 65k earlier this year and I too believe these will bring 100k at some point in the near future. Until then I'm going to enjoy the hell out of it and see what happens!

[@LMC0013]

I have a '13 GT500 Convertible and absolutely the 13/14 are the end of an era. A lot will fight you on calling it a Muscle Car. Supposedly it's a Pony Car by the purists. So glad I got one of the last live rear axle, manual shift, convertible production Shelby vehicles produced. Hope to have it until my grave...

[@autofanaticcars]

Well said!

[@bobbaemel4110]

Same here, mine is a 14 convertible and I don't ever see myself selling this car I bought it a year ago today as an investment. Last of the manual/live axle/show Shelby cars!

[@kevinowens6681]

This car is totally undervalued all years

[@requis5258]

Currently in the market for one, so don’t go driving the prices up lol. Great vid!

[@WhiskeyBravo83]

@@autofanaticcars yes sir! Absolutely my most prized possession and it helps that it is a blast to drive

[@jusbus777]

Simply because they are still making them and the Mustang market is as vibrant now as it was in 2014. I do agree this is an extraordinary performance bargain.

[@AllCarsUnited]

Kids of disagree. Yes the mustang is still being made but the s550 is such a visual departure from the s197 making it essentially a different car. That's the beautiful thing about mustangs every different gen looks like a different car ( s650 bing the exception) 😆

[@billofrightssaysso4611]

Aside from 67-68. The 2013-14 is the nicest year for Mustang.

[@ripjerr]

awesome review! I plan on getting a 2011-2012 gt500 next year, super excited to own one!

[@autofanaticcars]

if you can spring for a 13 or 14 they do feel much better in the handling and build quality with updates they did on the last cycle

[@ripjerr]

@@autofanaticcars i appreciate the information! hopefully i can, its quite a price jump lol

[@RandomTechWZ]

I think these cars are going to be about 10 years behind what the Terminators are doing at the moment. The Terminators had their lull moment in the mid-late 2010s, when you could pick up a clean low-mileage car in the mid $20k's, now those same cars are worth $40k. These cars might be in that area now or approaching. I don't think values will diminish much, or at all, considering that most manufacturers will not be making manual v8 sports cars much longer.

[@salesposito2290]

Actually, I disagree. These cars (13-14s) did their used car slump and are now on the rise. Pre-pandemic, they were dipping into the high 40s. Now you’re lucky if you can find one under 60k. For a ten year old car to be regularly selling around its original sticker price, that’s pretty strong. I’m figuring it will only get higher over the next few years for the some of the reasons you mention. Which sucks for me, because I really had my eye on getting one, but 60s is way out of my budget. The 80s-90s Japanese sports car pricing surge you’re seeing is based more on nostalgia and rarity than performance.

[@TSR-pv5pe]

Love this car!! Soon as I get my $ I’m calling you and buying both your cars! 😎🇺🇸

[@Fiddleslaps]

I'm glad these aren't really sought after not gonna lie that just means more for for us

[@gilvan295]

They don't make them like this anymore. If you get a 2010-2014 Shelby, you will want to drive it everywhere. Amazing car and incredibly fun to drive. If you want to make full use of its horsepower, upgrade the suspension and tires for better traction.

[@smote911]

I don't know how I missed it but I had NO idea you even owned this car. I knew you had the GT350R and your videos on that have my interest peaked in one of those. Somehow I have missed this car in your collection.

I have a 2014 GT500,and it looks way better than this new ford performance gt500!!The manual and that 5.8 is a monster!!The 13-14 GT500 is the last real SHELBY from the factory.

I agree sorta reminds of the real Shelby Mustangs from 1965-1968 then it was just a Trim Package for 69-71 where Shelby had no real involvement in the cars then.

Everyone talks about the Hellcat but no one talks about how this beast is the reason the Hellcat exist. Crazy thing is, the GT500 is as fast as an automatic 2015 Hellcat if you know how to drive it.

[@autofanaticcars]

exactly

[@go4384]

I think it’s mostly about handling. Shelby GT350 is the only all around driver’s car Ford has ever built. This Shelby competes with the dodge and Chevy muscle cars and will never be anything more than a drag oriented car. This Shelby does have the edge in that the engine is more legendary and reliable. Could mean GT350s hit a huge drop due to unreliable engines and these shoot up.

[@Johnnyroten]

I agree 100% with your view.
