Originally, I wasn't in the market for a Mustang and owning one was pretty much the last thing on my mind. That was until early December 2024 when I took my 2019 Lincoln MKz in for service and spotted a 2019 Shelby GT350R, Oxford White and Kona Blue stripes, with 6k on the ticker sitting in the dealers showroom. Naturally, I was intrigued; but after running the numbers I would have left feeling like I had just given them my Lincoln considering the out the door price, with my trade, was the same as their asking price. My salesman, who I've known for years, did point me towards the Dark Horse that same day, a car they had special ordered for a guy who ultimately backed out on the deal, but I was still fixated on the Shelby and ended up leaving in the Lincoln. A week and a half later, my mother passed away in a freak accident, and suddenly the fuel efficient 'go places' car that I frequently lent to my parents became more of a fixture in the garage taking up space than anything. Fast forward 4 months, once some semblance of normalcy was starting to return to life, and I realized I was still regretting not buying that Shelby when I had the chance. Despite that car no longer being available, my Dark Horse was still listed on the dealership's website. This was a Saturday in early April 2025. Called my salesman around noon, had offer by 5pm, and took her home on Monday. The rest they say, is history.
