The S550 generation Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R is a truly special machine that may never again be replicated – at least, in its high-revving, naturally-aspirated, flat-plane crank-equipped, track-focused form. Since its discontinuation, we’ve watched as the values of these last-generation GT350 models have steadily risen as a result. However, Ford Authority readers now have the chance to bring home a stellar example of a 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Heritage Edition in a much more affordable manner, thanks to a new sweepstakes from TapKat. Better yet, we have a way for you to get more tickets, too (see below for details).

The S550 generation Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R is a truly special machine, and in this case, it’s also a Heritage Edition model that has just 10 miles showing on the odometer – meaning that it’s about as close as one can get to scoring a brand new example. All Heritage Edition models were finished in Wimbledon White paint with Guardsman Blue over-the-top racing stripes and equipped with Guardsman Blue badging, a carbon fiber rear wing, and black 19-inch carbon fiber seven-spoke wheels wrapped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires measuring 305/30 up front and 315/30 in the rear.
Inside the cabin, one will find Recaro seats in Ebony cloth and Miko suede, exposed carbon fiber trim, a rear seat delete, the 12-speaker Band & Olufsen sound system, dual-zone climate control, an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, and both oil pressure/oil temperature gauges. Power comes from the naturally-aspirated 5.2L V8 Voodoo engine, a rather famous mill that churned out 526 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque from the factory. All GT350Rs came with the Tremec TR-3160 six-speed manual transmission, which sends power back to the rear wheels via a Torsen limited-slip differential with 3.73 gears.
As if this amazing car wasn’t enough of a sweepstakes prize on its own accord, the money collected from it helps benefit the Shelby American Collection museum in Boulder, Colorado, which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preserving the history and achievements of Carroll Shelby and Shelby American. Those that wish to throw their name in the proverbial hat to win this special Shelby can do so by heading over here to secure their entries. Better yet, use promo code FORDAUTHORITY and score bonus entries – 35 percent more, to be exact. The more one donates, the more bonus entries one receives.
This sweepstakes is scheduled to end on February 23rd, 2025, and a winner will be chosen on March 1st.
