BaT Auction: 6-Mile 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Heritage Edition

This 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R was originally delivered to Baumann Ford in Genoa, Ohio and was relocated to North Carolina after it was purchased by the seller in November 2020. This car is one of a reported 280 GT350R models optioned with the Heritage Edition package, which specified unique livery in Wimbledon White with Guardsman Blue side and over-the-top stripes along with an Ebony interior with red accents. The car is powered by a 5.2-liter V8 linked with a six-speed manual transmission and a Torsen limited-slip differential. Additional equipment includes a carbon-fiber rear wing, a Bang & Olufsen 12-speaker sound system, voice control, navigation, Recaro seats, Brembo brake calipers, and 19″ carbon-fiber wheels. This GT350R has 6 miles and is offered in North Carolina with a window sticker, manufacturer’s literature, a car cover, an accident-free Carfax report, and a clean Ohio title in the seller’s name.

The Heritage Edition package specified Wimbledon White paint with Guardsman Blue side and over-the-top stripes as well as front and rear exterior badges finished in Guardsman Blue. The car retains its factory delivery stickers as it has not been dealer prepared for delivery. The GT350R was equipped with aerodynamic improvements including a Shelby-branded front splitter, a vented hood, a carbon-fiber rear wing, front fender vents, and aerodynamic side skirts. Additional features include HID projector headlamps, sequential LED taillights, and quad exhaust outlets.

Carbon-fiber 19″ wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires measuring 305/30 up front and 315/30 out back. Equipment includes a MagneRide damping system, independent rear suspension, and Ford Track Apps with line-lock and launch control systems. Stopping power is provided by red-painted Brembo calipers over two-piece vented rotors.

The cabin features Recaro sport seats trimmed in Ebony Alcantara with red accents along with matching door panels and carpets, while carbon-fiber trim accents the dashboard. The rear seat is omitted on R models, and equipment includes dual-zone automatic climate control, a Bang & Olufsen 12-speaker sound system, and a voice-activated touchscreen with navigation. Protective covers remain on the seats, floor, touchscreen, door handles, and door sills.

The Alcantara-wrapped multi-function steering wheel wears a red centering stripe and stitching and frames a 200-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an 8,250-rpm redline, auxiliary gauges, and a digital multifunction display. Additional gauges for oil pressure and coolant temperature are mounted in the center stack. The digital odometer indicates 6 miles.

The dash plaque designates this GT350R as chassis LR217, and it is accented in Guardsman Blue as part of the Heritage Edition package.

The naturally-aspirated 5.2-liter Voodoo V8 features a flat-plane crankshaft along with dual overhead camshafts, variable valve timing, and an engine oil cooler. A commemorative plaque displays the signature of the engine builder, and factory-rated output was 526 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. The ECU remains in its factory transport mode and will need to be unlocked at a Ford dealership.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a 3.73:1 Torsen limited-slip differential.

The window sticker shows factory colors, equipment, and a total MSRP of $79,490. The uninstalled floor mats, a GT350 owner’s supplement box, and additional delivery materials will accompany the car.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in Ohio and North Carolina.
