Some Ford dealers are set to rake in as much as $25,000 over the suggested retail price for the Shelby GT500 Mustang. While Ford hasn’t officially announced a price for the car that goes on sale this summer, it’s widely expected to cost about $40,000. While Ford is strongly discouraging such markups, several dealers are already using auction service eBay to find the highest bidders. In a check this morning by Leftlane, several GT500s were going for between $10,000 and $25,000 over MSRP. “Buy It Now” prices were between $75,000 and $100,000. Last week, Ford told dealers it was boosting production of the GT500 to 9,000 units a year. The move came in response to strong demand, and in an effort to discourage price gouging. In January, we reported that some Pontiac dealers were selling the popular Solstice for $5,000 to $10,000 over MSRP.
