DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 27, 2017 – The 2017 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang has won Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com Best Resale Value award for high-performance cars. The track-ready Shelby GT350 boasts a 5.2-liter V8 engine with 526 horsepower and an 8,250-rpm redline. The exclusivity of the V8-powered coupe keeps resale values high; Shelby GT350 Mustang starts at $57,045.

The 2017 Shelby GT350 comes standard with a cockpit-adjustable MagneRide damping system, transmission cooler and differential cooler. For thrill seekers, Shelby GT350R’s extreme aerodynamics, carbon fiber wheels and aggressive suspension tuning make it a hardcore contender on the track.
