It comes as no surprise that a Ford dealer is marking up a Mustang GT500. This happens every time similar cars come onto the market. But what is almost impressive is how exactly they describe their online price.

The This is more a drag-strip monster along the lines of a Dodge Demon versus the GT350 that could give much more expensive sports cars a run for their money on a road course.

This 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is it. The Big One. The most powerful, street-legal car Ford…

Ford is well aware that speed sells and while the GT350 will ride off into the sunset there are plenty of buyers willing to pay the premium for the GT500. As expected whenever these high-horsepower muscle cars hit the lots there will be dealers that will attempt to capitalize on market demand and make some bucks well over the MSRP.

has inadvertently used their “wow” pricing just perfectly with their asking price of $150,000 for a new 2020 GT500 “Golden Ticket” edition.

Wow, you guys really want some serious coin for that GT500! And you know what, I’m not even mad. If they think there is a buyer willing to spend that kind of money on this car more power to them. If no one bites, the price will eventually come down.

Furthermore much to every car enthusiast’s chagrin, someone also at Koons Ford must have gotten a little sloppy with the copy and paste in their ad and describes their GT500 with a manual when in fact it is automatic.

“2020 Ford Shelby GT500 w/ Golden Ticket Oxford White w/ Recaro Leather, 5.2L V8 Supercharged, ... This Mustang is Loaded Up with Carbon Fiber Track Pack, 20-inch Exposed Carbon Fiber Wheels, Adjustable Strut Top Mounts, Carbon Fiber Instrument Panel, Exposed Carbon Fiber GT4 Track Wing, Michelin Pilot Cup Sport 2 Tires, Rear Seat Delete, RECARO Leather Seats….”

In fairness, though the main description does say it is a seven-speed dual-clutch. So if any of you in this very uncertain economy is looking to spend a hundred and fifty large on an overpowered automatic Mustang, I guess this is your opportunity.

1996 Mazda Miata: The Jalopnik Review
If you pose the question "what kind of car should I get" to anyone here on Jalopnik, the answer will invariably be "Miata," no matter what you need to do. Towing something? Miata. Date? Miata. First car? Miata. Moving to Alaska? Miata. Since 1989, the Mazda Miata has been THE...

It's starting to feel like the main reason publications indulge in Car Of The Year awards is so the winning automaker will put their name in a bunch of advertisements, making the publication feel like a big shot. At Jalopnik, we don't buy in to this. We receive hand jobs...

For $13,000, You Will Never Lose Money On Replica
The title for today's was pulled straight from the ad for this Mitsubishi 3000GT modified to look like a Ferrari. Lose money or not, that bold pronouncement of course leads to the question: is the price for this replica reprehensible? Dust off your Whitesnake cassettes and slap some neon spandex...

For $7,995, Is This Laforza To Be Reckoned With?
La Forza del Destino is an opera by Giuseppe Verdi that features love, death, betrayal. . . and gypsies! Less dramatic is today's Laforza, but will its price have you wishing the fat lady would sing? You know why even minor highway accidents can back up traffic for miles? It's...
