Which GT350 should you buy? *The best/reliable model year* 

I said it before and I'll say it again, any GT350 is a rich person's car lol but if I really wanted to get one I would take your advice and go for the 2019 model year, that being said I prefer the new Mustang Mach1, to me that's one of the best Mustang's Ford has ever made.

You pretty much nailed it. In the summer of 2020, I started planning to trade my 2017 Mustang GT. I first considered ordering a new Mach 1. But then I started researching the GT350. When I saw that a nicely equipped Mach 1 was going to be $63k+ (and an uninspiring design), I decided to look for a Shelby. After researching, I decided the best bet was a 2019. I looked for 3 months and finally found one in Nov. 2020 at the right price ($58k) with 6k miles; and a CPO car to boot. Loaded with the comfort seats. After 14 months, still love the car; daily driver. Not selling anytime soon.

I agree with all of your opinions. Thank you for sharing. I LOVE MY 2020 GT350R HERITAGE! I extended the warranty to 8 years. Keep up the Great Content. Best Regards 🐍🐍🐍

I love my 18 leadfoot grey gt350!! That being said, it is currently getting a new engine under warranty…I STILL love it!! I will keep it forever!!

Ever miss this car? You have owned so much cool stuff. Much of which is in that 40k to 60k price range now. It would be cool to hear you go over what you’ve had and compare them a bit and even discuss if you would or would not buy another and why. Great content as always!

I have a 2017 GT350 in Grabber Blue with 9k miles on it. To this day, I don't regret buying it! It's an excellent car. The only problem that I've had with it is the A/C compressor. Of course that happened when it was out of warranty!

15R absolute rarest, 16R most limited production for average joes, 17-18 higher demand so higher production numbers, 19-20 (bullitt sales sucked) so they kept going and refined the car and gave it more luxury. Heritage edition was the most produced and is overpriced due to hype.

This popped in my feed as i was researching a GT350. Thanks for sharing.

I love my 2020 GT350. Also, it’s the last production year of the GT350. I traded my 2018 Mustang GT for it and had it shipped to me. It dropped it down from about 90k to lower 80k. When I bought it, I didn’t know how to drive a stick shift. So it stayed parked while I took lessons. I became comfortable in about 2 to 3 months. However, 2 years later, I still avoid a certain heel I kept stalling on. I don’t stall anymore, but I still avoid it 😂😂😂😂

Shout out to you for taking your shorties in the Shelby!

Great info for a buyer. No doubt a huge number of the pre ‘19 engines failed. That’s why I sold my ‘16. Was a sad day but felt I had no choice.

I love the GT350, still haven’t had the chance to ride in one but I’m really hoping to someday! I was in a Mustang for the first time yesterday and it’s a whole different experience then a mopar! My favorite GT350 color is either grabber blue or Orange fury! Great video🔥

Thanks for great info 😊 I had doubts about gt 350 vs Mach1 and I will go with GT350

Useful knowledge for those in the market to buy a GT350

I have and I'm definitely not rich!!! You have to understand what you purchasing and everything that comes with it. You save yourself 160.00 by doing your own oil changes. It's not that difficult. I would suggest do your research before making any high dollar purchases. As the saying goes. You gotta play to pay!!! You don't purchase a high performance car and then complain of gas and maintainance cost. Just saying

Yes man I need know cuz I’m about buy one soon

If long term desirability, collector interest and hold up resale value is what you are after then the 19s and 20s are the ones to get simply because of the Gen 2 Voodoo engine and the many other updates. As is often the case just when most of the issues on a new model or engine are corrected by the manufacturer they pull the plug on it. I don't think Ford ever intended for the GT350 to even have the run length it had but it surely helped get the car better. I own a 2019 R and even with all this been said I would not dare own it without having an extended warranty...things can still go wrong.

Thanks, real informative I'm in the market for buying one next year, paying off my Lariat, might as well keep the payments going 😂

Wicked car. I had a 2016 tech package. They had all the bells and whistles, sync 3, magna ride, tower brace, large screen, upgraded stereo. The difference for those years is the tech package did not include the coolers, and the tech package large spoiler, recaro seats small screen. Mine was grabber blue with white stripes and black roof. #3289. I miss her.

For the price of a ahelby gt 350 you can get a 2019 ford mustang gt 5.0 and get it to 800 RWHP easy for literally half the price after the mods

Unfortunately, my 2017 GT350 used 1 & 1/2 quart every 700 miles. I got tired and of putting oil in it and was afraid that the engine might fail on me 😮. It was my daily driver but in 2021 I reluctantly traded it in for a more reliable car. I have owned several stangs and this one is the only one I didn’t have faith in 😮

Going to look at a 2019 in Wimbledon White today! This was super helpful- thanks!

Gt350 Heritage Edition is my dream car. I feel like it’s the best color as well more, limited.

I’m a 2015 owner….that’s the collectors year. It came in 5 models that year. what ford couldn’t stop was the losers driving the standard 350 on the race track without the oil coolers (diff/trans). 21000 miles…no problems! Driving the car knowing what it can do and not do can save u some trouble. Limp mode is a bitch….never encountered it. Respect the car, u abuse anything it’s not going to turn out well and knowing any vehicles plus and minus will keep u on the road for along time. This car is one of the best! Europeans went crazy with this car because the Americans finally learned how too do a figure eight without flying off the road. Nurburgring #43, surrounded by Ferrari, lambos, Mclarens, Porsche’s! Good company of GT’s! Fords just reminding a few folks….after 50 yrs…..we still got it FPC and all!

Good video! I bought my 2017 new and it still runs fine. See my last video about it. If I had to buy one now I would get a 2019 or newer for the reasons you mentioned.

I have the magma ride adjustable dampers on my 16 without the track pack but I have the tech package. The only one that comes without the magna ride is the base model which you couldn’t find anywhere

What’s the deal with the oil consumption? I’m considering a 350, but can’t get over this issue.

If you can get a 2015 you should as there are only 37 built and you had to be invited to buy one even.

I love Mustangs but I’d have to have plenty money in the bank to buy one again. The reliability isn’t terrible, but I’m spoiled to Japanese cars.

Great video man appreciate ya.

Going to buy 2019 maybe 2020 get 350 yellow under 15k miles

Im in a tough spot right now... I'm trying to decide between the 1.Bullit(I'd want to keep the Bullit forever, so I prob wouldn't mod it... which is what I wanna do. But.. it's a fkin Bullit lol. How many are out there) Plus the special trim is just so unique and I'm always going back to making that my choice. 2.2014 GT500 Manual and modding it(around the same price as everything else listed here and I prefer the front over the new gen front end but the interior just looks so cheap and dated to me. 2.new gen 5.0 and boosting it(I heard the transmissions on these are awful(same tranny as the Bullit, but it has a digital dash as opposed to the 14 GT500/GT350 and I can widebody it without having to do any extra modifications unlike with a 350. Main thing stopping me is I don't like the horse or the steering wheel and would eventually end up changing stuff like suspension, throttle enhancements, etc... which is cause I want an overperforming daily driver(and wanna street race lol)Which would almost put me at the cost of relatively new 350. 3.GT350. Heard great things about the exhaust, I've seen it kill auto hellcats, the snake badges are dope af, the upgrades suspension and higher stock HP over all my other options makes me almost wanna press the button on it... except I've heard bad things about engine problems, gonna have to do way more work to fit a widebody kit, and I'd have to spend $2k on a digital gauge cluster(which im not even sure would work on the 350) I was considering the newer GT500 heavily over everything else until I found out the newer gen is automatic only. I've only ever driven my Jeep JK, lifted and modded etc and I've been riding motorcycles for a minute. So I really have no real experience and don't really know what to expect from any of these cars cause technically i've never raced a "real" car or even gone past the speed limit when I was learning in other people's. I wouldn't know what I'm missing out... if you get what I mean. Anyone who made it this far into this comment and wanna offer their two cents, I'm open for advice/suggestions. They're all about the same price or would be after modifications. So money isn't really the issue for me here. Just making the right decision that I'd be content with longterm lol. Preciate the video too. Trying to understand the 350 as much as possible.

Im looking for a collector mustang to hold for 15-20+ years. You mentioned the GT350R. Which year would you go with bro? Thanks for your review

Hi there, great video. Where I live (which is not the US) there is a 2017 GT350 with 20k miles on the clock selling for just under $50k. Being a gen 1 Voodoo and out of warranty I am obviously concerned about the engine reliability. Seller is saying he's never had annsissue and changes the oil every 6k miles as normal. Is it fair to say that if his engine was one prone to issues it would already have failed and so now it's a pretty safe bet or not?

What do you think about the 2016 R, is the voodoo still the gen one?

Pros and cons of having 2017 gt350 procharged with 14k miles?

2 years later - what’s your thoughts on the car now? Are they worth the premium over msrp? Well at least for the R.

I bought a low mileage 2016 w/ track package bc price, but it has a year of warranty that can be extended. If something happens I'm covered for the most part - the market just kind of priced me out of the 2018+.

I love this car, but no doubt with all of the problems that it is an American car.

✌🏼Kenny my man .

2015 will always be way more valuable than most. With only 137 ever made

I bought mine in March 2020 before the engine recall list and lucked out that it was not in recall. I paid $63K with new Cup 2 tires on it. I had it sent from California to Shelby American and had it upgraded to the GT350SE. It may make it more collectable.... And the shipping was expensive.

I would put in the Aluminator engine if it failed and was out of warranty. And it is very pricey... over $20K plus installation and delivery costs ... yikes. I have a 2020 and was lucky to not have the recall. It was built during that period and I bought it before the recall was announced. I was shitting my pants hoping mine was good. And it was, just the back up camera and mice in the fan motor housing lol. I had her up to 165 mph and took a nice corner at 135 mph. My Mustang GT cannot do that around a corner lol. The motor needs a supercharger

I’m looking into a 2016 gt350 tech pack with only 3000 miles you think is a good year to consider buying cause I can’t find any other year that’s affordable 18 and up are pretty expensive

Just totaled my 2017 Ruby Red GT had it bagged and had done other basic mods but now looking to get into a Shelby GT350 just don't know if the time is right with these prices

Hey man thanks for the video, debating between a 19 gt350 or a new Mach 1. How is the backseat for kids? I’ve got two boys too and both in car seats still.

Yo brotha whats the best the GR corolla or the GT350?

Cheap 2016/17 Add the coolers Extended warranty Done deal If you want a comfortable everyday car you’d be better off with a GT.

ALL of these cars come with a break in period and almost every youtuber i saw with one were revving it to redline the instant they got one! Just dumb shit. As for engine recall, it's winter, I'd love to get a second gen engine for free!

Thoughts on GT500?

Pretty much goes for any car….buy the newest one you can afford!

Thanks for your good video. I'd consider a 2017 or 2018 if the engine was replaced with a Gen 2 engine

even before watching this video, buy the last year of the GT350......its that simple. All the BS was sorted out by then

Noticed an S TON of these with low miles selling used and MANY with 4 to 5 previous owners. What gives?????

If you can get a 2015 you should as there are only 37 built and you had to be invited to buy one even.
