Shelby Will Finally Start Producing 1967 GT500 Super Snakes


“Better late than never” is quite an understatement with this news. Shelby will be building a very limited run of 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snakes. During the 1960s, Shelby produced a demonstration Mustang for Goodyear powered by the legendary 427-cubic-inch race engine famous from a Le Mans-winning Ford GT40, branding the car the Shelby GT500 Super Snake in the process.

Horsepower output was supposed to me 520 which still might have been underrated knowing Ford.

Shelby will be building 10 examples for enthusiasts, priced at around $250,000.

    I like Mustangs and the '67 model is probably my favorite. I just cant see a quarter of a million for a 550ish HP FE engine pushing back to a solid axle pony car.

    The aluminum 427 FE can be pushed upwards of 750 HP without a turbo or super charger. The car will need more than a 4 speed manual, perhaps that new 10 speed with paddle shifters. Also include the current Mustangs independent rear suspension and front suspension and brakes.
