A 2019 Ford Shelby GT350R showing just 28 miles is the centerpiece of a new sweepstakes that adds $20,000 in cash to the grand prize. Organizers have it set so Modern Car Collector readers receive additional entries, positioning the low-mile “R” as a high-profile draw for collectors who favor factory track hardware and a manual transmission.
The car, chassis KR124, is finished in Shadow Black with over-the-top white stripes and retains its original window sticker and literature. The GT350R specification deletes the rear seat and swaps in lightweight components, including 19-inch carbon-fiber seven-spoke wheels and a carbon-fiber rear wing. Equipment highlights include the Electronics Package with voice-activated navigation, a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, blind-spot monitoring, a rearview camera, dual-zone climate control and Recaro front buckets trimmed in Ebony cloth and Miko suede with red accents. The exterior wears full paint-protection film and features HID projector headlamps, functional hood and fender vents, a Shelby-script front splitter, LED sequential taillamps, Cobra puddle lamps and quad exhaust outlets.
Under the hood, the hand-built 5.2-liter “Voodoo” V-8 uses a flat-plane crankshaft, dual overhead cams and variable valve timing. Factory output was rated at 526 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque. Power reaches the rear wheels through a Tremec TR-3160 six-speed manual and a 3.73:1 Torsen limited-slip differential. Additional coolers for the engine, transmission and differential are included, reflecting the model’s track focus.
Chassis hardware matches the powertrain’s intent: MagneRide adaptive dampers, two-piece Brembo brakes and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires measuring 305/30 front and 315/30 rear. Inside, a carbon-fiber-accented dash, Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, head-up auxiliary gauges for oil pressure and temperature, and an 8,250-rpm redline tachometer underscore the car’s motorsport flavor.
Sweepstakes organizers note that the GT350R has been preserved as delivered, with a model of the engine’s crankshaft and a matching chassis badge included. As with any sweepstakes, eligibility requirements apply and odds depend on the number of entries received. Prospective entrants are directed to consult the official rules for details on entry methods and prize conditions.
