Ford Adds New Models to the Mustang Lineup

Originally introduced in 1967, the Mustang Shelby® GT500® is a Ford icon and was inspired by the late, great Carroll Shelby, who first took his Mustang GT350 and turned it into the first-ever Shelby GT500. With its roots firmly planted in racing, with its first legendary appearance having been at the 1967 Le Mans race, the Mustang Shelby® GT500® was born and bred to win races. Throughout the years, Ford has honored Carroll Shelby and his innovation, with the Mustang Shelby® GT500® carrying on his legendary name.

Fast forward to 2022 and while the times have changed, the Mustang Shelby® GT500® has remained the same in spirit, all while increasing performance and drivability. This year, the 2022 Mustang Shelby® GT500® will be a limited production vehicle, paying homage to Carroll Shelby and his legendary Le Mans run. Almost 55 years after Carroll Shelby took home the Le Mans trophy, Ford will release the most advanced and powerful Mustang they’ve ever produced.

Do you want to get your hands on the most powerful Mustang ever produced? Then you’ll want to stop by Charles Gabus Ford as we have the Des Moines area’s widest selection of new, pre-owned, and certified pre-owned Ford vehicles available.
