10 Wrecked Ford Mustangs Are Sitting on Copart Right Now, Just Waiting for Someone Brave Enough to Rebuild Them Every week, Copart's lanes fill up with performance cars that met a rough end, and the Mustang family is no exception. From a barely-used Shelby GT500 to a well-worn V6 convertible, these wrecked and salvage Fords prove that America's pony car keeps showing up on the auction block no matter the generation. Here are ten wrecked and salvage Mustangs currently listed on Copart. Below is a look at what happened to each one, plus a link to the live listing. 1. 2021 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 – Side Damage, Philadelphia, PA With barely 13,000 miles on the clock, this Shelby GT500 is proof that even Ford's most brutal factory Mustang isn't immune to bad luck. Copart lists side damage as the primary hit, but the engine starts and the transmission engages, so the supercharged 5.2-liter V8 underneath is still very much alive. At an estimated retail value of $94,272, it's the priciest car on this list by a wide margin, and a tempting way into GT500 ownership for someone willing to sort out the bodywork.

Bidding was sitting at just $225 when we checked, which is a steep discount for a 5.0-liter, rear-wheel-drive GT with 27,000 actual miles.

It's a clean-title car with a verified running engine and just 27,408 actual miles, so the damage may be more cosmetic than structural once someone gets it up on a lift.

It's still a verified runner and driver with the transmission engaging on command, and at 68,505 miles it has plenty of life left in the turbocharged four-cylinder for anyone who wants a cheaper path into Mustang ownership.

This charcoal EcoBoost coupe was pulled from a lot in Honolulu with side damage but a confirmed running engine and working transmission. At an estimated retail value of $17,880, it's a reminder that salvage bargains show up in Copart yards across the country, islands included. View this listing on Copart 6. 2018 Ford Mustang – Front End Damage, West Palm Beach, FL The front clip on this blue EcoBoost coupe took the brunt of the damage, but Copart's inspectors verified the engine starts and the transmission engages. Bidding had already climbed to $3,050 when we checked, and with an estimated retail value north of $10,700, there's still room for a rebuilder to come out ahead if the parts bill stays in check.
