Win a 526-HP 2018 Shelby GT350 + $12,000 Cash

The car: a 25,000-mile GT350 and $12,000

Willertime's "Outlaw Giveaway" is the detailing brand's third car giveaway, and the prize is a 2018 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350 with $12,000 cash. The build sheet on the giveaway page lists a "5.2L flat-plane V8", "526 HP / 429 lb-ft", a "6-speed manual", rear-wheel drive and "25,000 miles", and gives the condition as "Delivered as-is, inspected". The page adds: "Photos show the actual giveaway car." Those photos show a black coupe on black wheels with GT350-embroidered sport seats.

Why the GT350 matters

The GT350 is the Mustang Ford built around an engine. Its 5.2-liter Voodoo V8 uses a flat-plane crankshaft, the layout of a Ferrari V8, instead of the cross-plane crank under nearly every other American V8, and it revs to 8,250 rpm with a sound no other Mustang makes. It came only with a six-speed manual and was sold through the 2020 model year. Nothing has replaced it: the GT500 that followed went to a supercharger and a dual-clutch automatic, and today's Mustang Dark Horse runs a cross-plane Coyote.

At 25,000 miles this is a car that has been driven, which suits a GT350. The usual checks apply: Voodoo engines have a reputation for oil consumption and a few early engine failures, so the service history matters, and the rules make clear the car comes "AS IS" with no warranty from the Sponsor.

The fine print worth knowing

The deadline. The Official Rules say the Sweepstakes Period "ends at 11:59:59 p.m. EST on November 2, 2026", and that is the deadline shown on this listing. The page's footer fine print currently reads "2018 Shelby GT350 Giveaway entries close October 21, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET.", the same moment its 5X bonus window ends ("Bonus closes October 21, 2026 · 11:59 PM ET"); where the two disagree, the rules control. The rules say "The Prize drawing will be conducted on or about November 9, 2026." ViralSweep LLC is named as the Administrator.

What the prize is worth, and what it costs. The rules put an approximate retail value of $67,000 on the car and the cash together, and add: "If the actual value of the Prize is lower than the stated ARV when the Prize is procured and fulfilled, then the difference will not be awarded." The $12,000 is part of that $67,000, which leaves about $55,000 for the car. The whole prize is taxable: "an IRS Form 1099 will be filed in the name of the Winner for the value of the Prize."

The page says the car is "Delivered as-is", but the rules put the logistics on the winner. The winner pays for title, license, insurance and registration, "including any travel and transportation costs associated with collecting the vehicle", may have to "pick up vehicle as directed by Sponsor", and "must transfer title officially with their state DMV within ten (10) days of accepting the Prize." A valid driver's license from the winner's home state is required to take delivery, and "Prize vehicle may not meet safety or emissions testing required in some states and/or counties." The Sponsor "reserves the right at its sole discretion to substitute the Prize with another prize of equal or greater value."

Conditions on the winner. A potential winner who can't be reached or doesn't respond "within three (3) business days from the first notification attempt" can be disqualified, and the Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability & Publicity Release (which asks for a Social Security Number) has to come back "within seven (7) days" of notice. Disputes go to Colorado courts and "shall be resolved individually without resort to any form of class action".

How entries work. Purchases earn "one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes for each one (1) whole dollar spent", counted on the pre-tax amount before shipping and after discounts. During Bonus Entry Periods the Sponsor announces, purchases earn "between five (5) entries and fifty (50) entries" per dollar. The page runs a 5X multiplier on every entry ("Now through Oct 21, every entry you earn is multiplied 5X.") and 20X on Mega Bundles; outside bonus windows, every $1 is one entry. Entries-only ticket tiers are $50 (Burnout), $100 (Launch Control) and $250 (Redline), and the cheapest item in the store is a $29.99 12-pack of microfiber towels. The page says "you can stack free entries without spending a dime" through email, SMS, review and social bonuses, but the rules list those under "Entrants can obtain bonus entries post-purchase at the Website".

The free route. Mail-in entry needs no purchase; the full instructions are quoted in the free-entry section of this listing. Each card is worth fifty entries. A card postmarked during a Bonus Entry Period is worth "between two hundred fifty (250) and two thousand five hundred (2,500) Sweepstakes entries" when the multiplier is written on the back of the envelope, and "If an Entrant lists a Bonus Period that is inaccurate with the postmark date, the entry will be disqualified."

Who can enter, and who has won. Entry is open to legal US residents 18 and older, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. On past winners, the page says: "Our first giveaway put Mike M. in a Fox Body and our second handed Jeff T. the keys to a Corvette Z06." The rules also let anyone request the winner's name by mailing a self-addressed, stamped envelope by December 20, 2026.
