Our team presents one of the most celebrated modern American track-focused road cars, a 2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R. Built as the most hardcore, road-legal evolution of the GT350 formula based on the S550 platform, the GT350R represents Ford Performance at its most uncompromising, combining a motorsport-derived chassis with one of the most characterful naturally aspirated engines of the modern era. This example, showing 13,570 miles, is supported by clean history reports and retains its factory specification with the addition of a VMP supercharger, offering collectors and enthusiasts the opportunity to acquire a landmark Shelby model before the end of its production run in 2020.

The 2019 Shelby GT350R stands as the pinnacle of Ford’s sixth-generation Mustang performance program, developed as a street-legal track weapon rather than a traditional muscle car. At its heart is the 5.2-liter naturally aspirated “Voodoo” V8, an engine that rewrote expectations for American performance with its flat-plane crankshaft design, 526 horsepower output, and a stratospheric 8,250 rpm redline. Paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission, the GT350R delivers a level of driver engagement that has become increasingly rare in the modern performance landscape.

What separates the GT350R from the standard GT350 is its relentless focus on weight reduction and track capability. Ford removed the rear seats, deleted sound insulation, and fitted extensive carbon fiber components, including the front splitter and rear wing. The result is a lighter, sharper, and more focused car that earned widespread acclaim for its steering feel, balance, and composure at speed. Carbon ceramic brakes provide excellent stopping power and fade resistance, while revised suspension tuning transforms the Mustang platform into a genuine circuit-ready machine capable of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with European track specials.

 

This particular 2019 example features over $12,000 in factory options and is equipped with the R Package. It goes a step further, having been fitted with a VMP supercharger, dramatically increasing performance beyond the factory specification while retaining the high-revving nature of the Voodoo engine. Supporting the added power, a VMP twin 69mm throttle body, cold air intake, intercooler, JLT catch can, and a Fore fuel pressure regulator are also featured under the hood. Notably, the engine was replaced earlier this year at Certified Performance in Eagleville, Tennessee, and subsequent service records confirm extensive mechanical work, including timing components, water pump gasket, exhaust manifold gasket, fluids, brakes, and battery replacement, ensuring the car is mechanically current and sorted.

CARFAX documentation confirms two owners, with initial registration in Texas in 2019 and subsequent ownership in New York from 2022 onward. No accidents or body or paintwork are reported, and the vehicle has no known race history. A full-body paint protection film has been applied, preserving the Shadow Black finish and carbon fiber aero components. With its combination of factory GT350R pedigree and professionally executed performance upgrades, this example offers a compelling blend of collectability and extreme capability.
