This particular accident involving a special Mustang Shelby GT500 is rather hard to watch, but there are lessons to be learned.

There have been boatloads of special edition Mustangs over the years — but these gems are some of the best from the modern era.

Carroll Shelby owned this 1968 Mustang for 40 years before he transformed it into a tribute to the mother of all Shelby Mustangs.

Even without its incredible provenance, this 1969 Shelby GT500 would be dream machine for classic Mustang fans.

The GT500 Code Red will have crazy power, a crazy price, and an extremely limited run. So if you’re interested? Act fast.

Given the bidding, there’s a chance the owner could take a bath on this low-mile GT500 Super Snake.

With a 88-pound carbon fiber skin and 800 horsepower on tap, this special Cobra will be as much cruise missile as it is car.
