302ci DOHC Supercharged V8 Engine Computer Controlled Port Injection 850bhp at 7,400rpm 6-Speed Manual Transmission 4-Wheel Independent Suspension 4-Wheel Ventilated Disc Brakes *Built by Shelby America *The prototype for the Super Snake model *Heavily optioned *Featured in numerous publications THE MOTORCAR OFFERED Shelby's most legendary machines are not the ones built in some Detroit factory with Carroll's name on them but the ones built in-house by the wizards in Shelby's own shop. That's where the Cobra came from, the original GT350, and more recently, the GT500 Super Snake. Starting with a Mustang GT, the horsepower gurus as Shelby America set out to turn a fast car into a weapon. Offered in a few different packages, the absolute top of the heap was a $54,999 "750+ HP" package – this on top of the price of the new Mustang GT donor car. Featuring a gargantuan Kenne Bell supercharger, upgraded suspension, Wilwood disc brakes, short throw shifter, front and rear splitters, a carbon fiber hood, and more, this Snake was capable of getting to 60mph in under 4 seconds and pulling 0.98g on the skidpad. The offered vehicle is not just any Super Snake but the original prototype. Bedecked with virtually every option Shelby could imagine offering and finished dark red with a matching red and black leather interior, this car was featured in numerous car shows and publications including Road & Track, Car & Driver, Motor Trend, and more. No mere show queen, this Super Snake was both a test bed and marketing tool for Shelby, racking up just under 13,000 miles in the first 12 months on the road. Used more judiciously since, it has been sparingly driven while in the care of the current owner, who acquired the car in 2016. Complete with original Team Shelby literature, this Shelby prototype is ready to rumble into a new garage.
