The Mustang is one of the most famous cars in the world since 1964 with its first generation.
One year after the Mustang was released, Ford wanted a enhanced version of its car for run at the same level of its rivals in the US races. To design this car Ford hired the driver and car designer Carroll Shelby (1923-2012).
The first Mustang modified by Shelby was the GT350, released in 1965, and the next year(1966) Ford and Shelby showed the legendary Shelby GT500. The collaboration between Shelby and Ford continues today.
And this is my interpretation of the current version of that historic collaboration.
The real one.
This creation is made in scale 1:8. The total size is: 75 studs of length, 29 wide and 21 of high (60x23x17 cm)
The weight is 3.1 kgs, with around 3500 parts and 5 motors.
It includes some remote controlled functions:
- Steering (M motor)
- Drive (2 L motors)
- Sequential gearbox (PF Servo motor)
- Disc brakes (M motor)
The sequential gearbox is an improved version of my previous Caterham ones (3rd Gen V2), with 5+R and auto-clutch.
The speeds ratio:
R - 2.08:1
1 - 1.67:1
2 - 1.25:1
3 - 1:1
4 - 1:1.33
5 - 1:1.67
The max speed in 5th speed is 3 kph (~2 mph)
It has a gear indicator in the interior, between the front seats.
V8 fake engine under the bonnet.
A complete bodywork with openable doors, bonnet and rear truck hood.
The bonnet can be opened from the interior using a little lever just front of the right seat.
Also the doors have lock, you need turn the door handle to open it.
It has 4 full size seats and folding front seats.
For make more easy the gearbox tests the car in has a rear support to keep the rear axle lifted
The suspension is based in the real one: front McPherson axle and a rear 4-links live axle.
The front axle also has advenced geometry: Camber angle(2º), caster angle(3.5º) and kingpin angle(7º)
The steering has ackerman geometry and working steering wheel.
The car also has working disc brakes in all wheels, they are very powerfull and includes functional brake pedal.
Now the "most wanted" picture for technic fans:
Like the real one, this creation has unibody frame. The roof is part of the frame too, it improve a lot the torsional stiffness.
You can disassemble the whole car in less than 3 minutes. But you will need a little bit more time to reassemble it again...
COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE COMING SOON!!
Finally as always a little video:
I hope you like it!!

EPIC CAAAAAAR SHEEPO!!!!!!!
Excellent job done as usual :D :D :D :D
A greath MOC and worth every second of waithing but I still have the feeling that I'm missing something (just litlle thigns) like PF lights and some more info of (by example ) the gearbox, suspension and the bodywork. I don't know but I just have the feeling that you're giving less and less info every time when you create a new moc.
but afterall it still is a great moc and I don't want to offend you I still have a lot of respect for you and you're buildingskills are way above mine but that's just the way it is
tuur
Watching the car, you put on it 2 L motors; why you don't have put 2 xl?? just because of the space??
Exactly ;)
las instrucciones tendra el mismo precio que las del Defender?? gran coche porcierto ;)
can't wait for the instructions! do you know about when they will be available and about how much they will cost? also do you think it could be built in a different color like blue without major modifications? thanks.
I don't know the price of the isntructions yet, but I think it will be similar to the Defender ones.
About the color, I think it is impossible build the car in other color, you can change the white color easily, but with red part it is almost imposible, maybe doing some changes you can do it in blue, but it will be much more expensive.
Awesome Supercar, you make the best models in the world
and what about the part cost??
great MOC!
Great job as always! Honestly we have become accustomed too well with the 911, the Defender and the Peterbilt ... and this seems to have a little less features, but it is fantastic and beyond my ability!
I'm curious to see the 3rd Gen V2 Gearbox,...the one on the Defender was impressive engineered and was fantastic to build and study.
is the moc showed on tendbrick another car or another bridge or maybe even something else??
Sheepo does this mean that your are going to skip making instructions for the Lotus 7 and move right to this Mustang? I do like your Mustang BUT would REALLY like to make the 7!!!
You really should make this a LEGO CUUSOO entry. I'm sure lot's of people will support it! It's extremely amazing and i'm sure my next LEGO project will be building your Mustang, as soon as the instructions are available. Great job, i love it!
You've just made it to the online version of a Dutch newspaper: congrats ;-)

Hi Sheepo,
Just landed here. Amazing car you created! The Mustang is one of my favourites and would love to make this one. Would love to see the instructions to see which parts are needed.
My technics lego collection contains mostly the first generation parts so I will have to buy a lot of parts ;-)
Keep on going with the great creations!
Can you build old mustang 65-70?
Do you know when the instructions will be available? I would love to give this to my boyfriend for his birthday. He has his own blog on mustangs and I know he would love this
I don't know, but my in tention is launch it before christmas.
I hope a few days before Christmas ... just to arrange the purchase of the missing parts and build it during the Christmas holidays!! I look forward to good news!!
Sheepo you are the best
Do you have an idea of what the instructions will cost?
Hi ,
i would like to pre-order !
I would like to build a BMW M5 on the chassis , or feel free to make it yourself .
Best regards ,
Nimrod(@elloconoche.be)
Having bought the instructions for the Defender I'm very much looking forward to this one. I understand the full instructions can take another 2 months, but is it perhaps possible to already release the partlist for this model?
If not, no problem, we'll just have to be patient...
Best regards.
Can you make instructions for the gearbox and make them free.
From,
Mac
Hola, Sheepo (soy Lelelego de HispaLUG); ¿Cómo eres tan genio? ¿Tienes mucha "pasta"? Tengo 10 años, ¿Cómo puedo llegar a montar cosas como las tuyas? Un Saludo
Te digo lo mismo que a todo el mundo, no necesitas mas que unas pocas piezas y muuuucha paciencia jejeje
Could you put this on Lego Cuuso that would be awsome
Why not add an airtank airbag system to your next model? It's just finding an empty balloon, and press the hoses from the pneumatic system through the holes in the lego technic bricks with the balloon wrapped around the end of the hose. I'm a big fan of your cars!
Great work! I published a post about this MOC in LEGO TECHNIC Isreal Facebook page which I manage.
https://www.facebook.com/LEGO.IL
Waiting patiently for the instructions ;-)
Absolute a fabulous car! Can't wait to see the instructions, to build one myself. This would be great to have next to my other Mustang Models! Great Work!
This is the best looking LEGO model I have ever seen, Can't wait to build it on Lego Digital Designer, Just so I can look at it! Plus, the Ford Mustang is my dream car!. Again, Can't wait!!
Well done Sheepo, Keep up the good work!!
Hi Sheepo,
Which sets would you recommend to buy to get most of the needed parts for the Mustang?
Will you publish the partslist before the instruction is finished?
Good question, there are not good set to get parts por this MOC, probably none gets you more than 20-25% of the parts. But I think that the 42000 and the 8070 can have some usefull parts.
The partlist will be published at the same time as the instructions. Now I have a part list, but problaby it will change a little bit to the final ones.
When will the instructions be available and the price for them?
I hope it can be ready before christmas, and I don't know the price yet.
hey sheepo can u pop me a video of that mustang in a faster speed
You can see it in the video in the fastest speed...
wait do we buy the parts to make it
hey
can we buy the parts to make it
You should buy the parts in any internet store, like bricklink.com
Would love to purchase instruction and preorder the bricks as a holiday gift. Any chance they are ready?
(nag, nag, nag)
Lo Maximo! Que Poder!!!
Is it available for sale yet? This si the perfect x-mas gift!! :)

si oui je te les achète
sheepo je te l'achète pour 1000
Hi Sheepo! Christmas past, but there are no instructions. Any troubles? We are worrying...
The RC instructions are actually finihsed, we are testing it to find errors, and doing the Manual version... just a few more days... sorry for the delay ;(
Hi
Der LR Defender ist schon nicht schlecht , aber der Ford ist nochmals besser !!!
Ich freu mich ihn zu bauen !!! Hoffentlich kommt der Super 7 auch noch !?
Macht weiter so schöne Modelle !!! Danke
what will the price be?
I don't know still the price of the instructions, but it will be similar to the Land-rover ones.
Hello
I need the instruction plaese !
At what time i can buy it
Thanks for the instructions!
http://www.sheepo.es/2014_01_01_archive.html
Fantastic job!
Enjoying to have instructions available.
Hi! Ich hätte auch gern die Bauanleitung von Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. Wie könnte ich das bekommen?
Hey, still no instructions? Is something wrong with it? Looking forward to it!!!!
since getting the instructions I am almost finished with a black and white version, will send you picks when dun.
Now brick linck is closed. where can you buy bricks?
Hi, I was wondering, when will you make a/the post about the differences between the gearboxes?
Hello, votre moc est magnifique..
avec quel logiciel de LegoCad avez vous réalisé les instructions ? LDraw, LDD, other ?
et où avez vous trouvé les "motors and electrics parts" ?
Hello, I have one question, if I buy the instructions, you know, Where I can buy the diferents components?
Instructions with SR3D Builder + MLCad + LPub
To buy parts: www.bricklink.com
But bricklink doesn't have any brick
what is the approx price of all the parts to build the mustang?
Best Sheepo would you please tell me if I own two xl motors in the Mustang processing, which would be less than two l motors? faster and more powerful?
Please tell me soon my pieces are almost!
XL motors have more power than L motors, but you can't fit them inside the Mustang.
I think if I change a little bit of the chassis.
I hope it works because then he'll be fine drive. (In the movie, he went a little slow)
Would it be possible to buy instructions for the sequential gearbox only at a lower price?
I am sorry but no.
Sheepo hi, I bought a while ago you instructions but the gearbox did not. I then even made him three times. can you please tell me what the problem is?
Easy, you have built it wrong three times. Look very closely all parts and steps.
yes but it is not too heavy for the servo motor?
Sheepo hi i have a big problem. I wanted so the bodywork going to make it part 32016 to get anywhere! if it is available anywhere, it costs about 3 euros each. I wonder how you have solved it. I would like this question to get an answer.
I bought my parts 3 years ago, then the cost was less than 0.2€...
but do you know where you are may get them more cheaply?
sheepo-
why not have a 6+N+R gearbox instead of a 5+R? the real thing has 6 forward speeds and one R, and you could use the N to show of the 662 fake horsepower.
otherwise, this is an absolutely stunning and realistic creation, an i love it. keep it up!
do you have plans to make free instructions for the sequential gearbox in your Ford Mustang Shelby GT500?
roughyl how much are all the parts total to build this beats please let me know asap i wanna build this thing for a friend asap
where is possible to find instruction and parts list for make this car?
The cost of all the parts is around 650€
sheepo hi, I have the mustang itself built only for a little tinkering is I managed to use two xl motors for the drive. my question was why you have not used before 2 xl motors.
Good question... This car was designed under request for store, they wanted it in manual version, but when I went to deliver it, they decide that they didn't want it. So in that moment I had a huge car, with complete instructions but with all its functions manual. So I modified the car to add sequential gearbox and all others motors, but I didn't want to redo the instructions, so I only added the new features over the "old"chassis, and in the old chassis had not enough space to use XL motors.
Is it not possible to buy and download this instructions?
This is awesome!!! where can i buy this Shelby compleet?
Sorry, but no, You only can buy the instructions.
Where ca i buy the instructione, ist there a Partlist for the bricks?
¿Tienes el Lego mindstorm NXT? Si es así, ¿Podrías hacer un supercoche que la utilizara?
No tengo ningún Mindstorm, no me gustan. A mi lo que me gusta es la mecanica y un NXT limita demasiado.
Your car is very super
El NXT limita mucho, pero se puede hacer, aunque no con todas las prestaciones que tiene este coche.
Hi There,
Any possibility to buy a "whole pack" from you? I mean Instruction + bricks.
Ready to pay a bit more than @ BL.
Reagards,
Wuy
I don't sell parts, try with themocshop.com
where can I get one! My son loves legos.
I purchased the plans and completed the model. It is great and I had much fun collecting the parts, learning about bricklink, and then completing the model. It is beautiful and certainly the most complex project I have built. Your creativity and technical skills are amazing. Everything works but I am not sure about the gearbox. I don't think it is shifting, but I am not sure how to use the remote to shift the gears. Before I take it apart and try to find an error, if indeed there is a mistake I made, could you please say how the gears are to be shifted? I am just using one lever.
You only need to push the lever for more or less a second in the remote like I do in the video.
Is there anyway I could upgrade the engine its a hobby
You can try, but probably you will break the gearbox.
Why use two L motors instead of one L motor, dose two motors make it more powerful?
More motors = more power.
do u get all the parts in the instructions
is it possible to buy the set
No, only the instuctions.
Hello Sheepo. Why the rear suspension so weak
Nice job. Won't the liftram that you used for the links( live axle ) get damaged?
No, the liftarms are perfect. The angle it turns when one wheel compress the suspension is very low and it not force the liftarm.
Have you considered that you put the tail lights upside down. One of them is the opposite side.
Can you use the brakes at 5th gear?
Of course, why not?
Hey Sheepo. I am building a car that has more weight in the rear (Almost rear 60%, front 40%). When I compress the rear suspension (multilink suspension), it reacts the same as your mustang. Is that a geometry issue or is that realistic?
ACtually in Lego creations is very hard to appreciate the difference between different suspensions when they are working
DLL?
Hi. Nice channel and website. I recently subscribed you. I just wanna know that will you make intructions of the 3rd and 4th generation of gearbox? Because I really wanna know how they work.
This Mustang includes a 3rd gen gearbox, and the 300SL has 4th gen ones, you can buy instructions for both
So you are not gonna share free instructions for gearboxes only?
No, sorry
Hi Sheepo
Is it possible to upgrade the gearbox to the new version?
So from the 3th edition to the 4th in this moc?
No, there is not reason for that, this gearbox works very well
Hi,
It seems like L motors aren't strong enough to drive my Mustang at 3rd or higher gear, do you have that too?
How to buy
Mennyibe kerül?
