Unveiling the Shelby GT500CR Centennial Edition: A Tribute to Automotive Excellence and Philanthropy

The Shelby GT500CR Centennial Edition is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Ford Mustang, reimagined by Classic Restorations to commemorate a century of automotive excellence.

Limited to a mere 10 units, each with a price tag of $625,000, this special edition Mustang is not just a collector’s dream but also a philanthropic endeavor, as $100,000 from each sale is pledged to the American Heart Association’s Life is Why campaign.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the The Ford Shelby GT500CR Centennial Edition boasts a striking appearance, characterized by its exposed gloss carbon fiber body panels from SpeedKore, accentuated with a red carbon fiber racing stripe and matching red stripes. This aesthetic is not only visually stunning but carries a deeper significance, symbolizing the heart and effort poured into supporting heart health and research.

The interior of the GT500CR Centennial Edition mirrors the exterior’s exceptional craftsmanship, featuring Caroll Shelby Scat Rally Series 1000 seats adorned with black leather and red stitching, a wooden steering wheel, Shelby pedals, and white-faced gauges. A special plaque and embossed headrests further tie the vehicle to its cause, celebrating the partnership with the American Heart Association.

Under the hood, the GT500CR Centennial Edition is powered by a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine equipped with a Magnuson VMP supercharger, unleashing an impressive 800 horsepower. Paired with a six-speed Tremec T56 transmission and rear-wheel drive, the car promises exhilarating performance, capable of reaching 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 189 mph. The vehicle’s prowess is further enhanced by Wilwood brakes with six-piston calipers upfront and four-piston calipers at the rear, along with adjustable coilovers in the suspension, ensuring both power and poise on the road.

The Shelby GT500CR Centennial Edition by Classic Restorations is more than a car; it’s a tribute to a century of automotive innovation, a work of art on wheels, and a beacon of hope for those affected by heart conditions. Through its blend of high performance, exquisite design, and charitable contribution, it stands as a remarkable chapter in the storied history of the Mustang, embodying the spirit of giving back while pushing the boundaries of automotive excellence.
