Today's UCTOD is in a color combo that yours truly loves. It's a blue-with-white-racing-stripes 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350.

The seller asks $57K for a 5,500-mile car that obviously hasn't been driven much.

Given my own limited experience with manual-transmission GT350s, I hope the buyer gets out and drives it a bit more.

There aren't a lot of other details here, but we're guessing that a mostly-garaged, low-mileage, seven-year-old car is probably stock or close to it and has been well-maintained.

Give it a look here if you have a thing for Shelbys and the scratch needed to take this Utah-based car home.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

In my opinion, he wants 15% to 20% too much. If I wanted the car, I'd offer him $50k and consider that generous.

• I hope the seller learns to park. (The Stellantis parked next to it does not have the right shade of blue paint to match; the door ding is going to stand out.)

  Is this a Utah thing? Several of the vehicles in the first picture seem to be aiming to align the passenger side of the vehicle with the parking lot stripe.
  (Regardless, the Mustang parking job is a clear Fail.)

Tassos OK Corey. I went and saw the photos again. Besides the fins, one thing I did not like on one of the models (I bet it was the 59) was the windshield, which looked bent (although I would bet its designer thought it was so cool at the time). Besides the too loud fins. The 58 was better.
Spectator Lawfare in action, let’s see where this goes.
Zerocred I highly recommend a Mini Cooper. They are fun to drive, very reliable, get great gas mileage, and everyone likes the way they look.Just as an aside I have one that I’d be willing to part with just as soon as I get the engine back in after its annual rebuild.
NJRide Any new Infinitis in these plans? I feel like they might as well replace the QX50 with a Murano upgrade
CaddyDaddy Start with a good vehicle (avoid anything FCA / European and most GM, they are all Junk). Buy from a private party which allows you to know the former owner. Have the vehicle checked out by a reputable mechanic. Go into the situation with the upper hand of the trade in value of the car. Have the ability to pay on the spot or at you bank immediately with cash or ability to draw on a loan. Millions of cars are out there, the one you are looking at is not a limited commodity. Dealers are a government protected monopoly that only add an unnecessary cost to those too intellectually lazy to do research for a good used car.
