The Crystal White GT500 (Beater GT500)

So this has been a long road. Bought this poor 2010 GT500 in March and have been saving it from it's certain demise. It was lightly wrecked, half assed repaired, chinese ebay front clip, spray painted flat black, sold, vinyl wrapped black and daily driven for a while.

full details on that mess can be found here:

Countless hours of small touches have been done like shaving the engine bay and other small projects.

Quick rundown:
BPS cams
Ported blower with VMP elbow
FRPP twin 65mm TB
JLT 127mm CAI
10% lower pulley
2.5 blower pulley
Lethal O/R H pipe
Borla Stingers
Everything from BMR in the rear
Eibach springs
Koni yellow adjustables
Tuned by VMP and it's perfect

BEAUTIFUL WORK and glad you could save it.......SOUNDS STRONG.......BE CAREFUL!!

Video would have been better with a big smokey burnout and drive away!

What a save. Nice.

The finished product looks awesome! Great job on the resurrection

Dat engine bay, doe...

Just noticed the sticker on the bottom of the hood near the windshield. Perfect sentiment.

Clean..Nice work

Thanks guys. Been a fun project

Wow! That is stunning. Not what I expected at all. Excellent work!

That turned out fanfuckintastic!

Part of me thinks that it is absolutely perfect how you finished it. The other part of me really liked the beater part of it, the unfinished paint and just how raw it looked. Would have been paired perfectly with the cam/exhaust combo. Sounds badass.

Looks and sounds great!

Nice save......Very clean!

wow...thats amazing. I remember seeing your previous post before, had to go thru it again just because it was so awesome. Great work!

That has to be one of the most beautiful GT500's I've seen. I'm a sucker for a stripe delete Shelby. Lord have mercy.

You most definitely did an awesome job, that's for sure.. You should also consider restoring cars as a living, if your not already doing so
