As a sign of the times, Galpin Ford in southern California has lowered the price on Shelby GT500s.

If you've ever thought about grabbing one of the new supercharged GT500s, now is the time. Galpin has dropped the sticker price on GT500s to $39,995, down from the original MSRP of $47,120.

At one time, these vehicles were in such high demand that consumers were paying more than the sticker price.

“As the leading Ford dealership in the world, we are able to offer our customers unparalleled deals they will not find anywhere else,” said Terry Miller, General Sales Manager for Galpin Ford. “Right now, it is definitely a buyers market and we are excited to extend this unbelievable sale to our Southern California Mustang fans.”

The ’08 Shelby Mustang GT 500 has a 500hp 5.4-liter V8 engine, stainless steel dual exhaust, 18-inch bright machined aluminum wheels, anti-lock brakes, traction control, unique real spoiler, interior upgrade package, and a Shaker 500 audio system with six disc CD player and MP3.

In addition to the specially priced Shelby GT500s, Galpin’s All Mustang Showroom features a selection of Saleen, Dan Gurney, Roush, and other Shelby Mustangs.

With over 60 years in business, Galpin Motors is the world’s largest volume Ford dealership for the 19th consecutive year.
