A legend has been reborn! Shelby American, Inc., has reintroduced the 1967 Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake muscle car. Only 10 fastbacks will be built, each with original signatures by Carroll Shelby and Don McCain who spearheaded the program in 1967.

Shelby built an engineering study dubbed the “Super Snake” for high-speed tire testing by Goodyear in 1967. Shelby American replaced the engine with a lightweight medium riser racing 427 motor, added heavy duty front disc brakes, Detroit Locker rear end, rear traction bars and special Goodyear tires. The Super Snake sported unique triple stripes and a redesigned grille for improved air cooling.

Debuting for the media at Goodyear’s San Angelo, Texas, test track, Shelby personally took the wheel of the Super Snake and was clocked at 170 mph. After a 500-mile test, the car set a new top speed world record for its class.

When the test ended, Shelby American offered it to Mel Burns Ford to sell. Former Shelby American employee Don McCain approached Shelby about doing a limited run of cars. The Super Snake was an expensive vehicle, which discouraged McCain and Shelby from continuing the program.

Fifty years later, the company will complete Carroll Shelby’s “unfinished business.” Another 10 of the muscle cars will be offered to enthusiasts worldwide.

The Continuation series Shelby GT500 Super Snakes are built from original 1967 Mustangs, with factory VINs and original titles. The donor cars are stripped to bare metal for transformation into the mighty Super Snake. Customers can opt for an original donor period Shelby fastback for transformation into a Super Snake. Each receives a Shelby serial number for the official registry.

A race-inspired big block V-8 remains the heart of the car, as the Continuation Shelby Super Snake is powered by a 427ci V-8 from Carroll Shelby Engine Co. making over 550 horsepower. Both aluminum and cast-iron blocks are available, backed by a 4-speed manual transmission. Just like the original, the cars will have disc brakes and the famous triple stripes. Before his passing a few years ago, McCain was deeply involved in the Shelby engine program and promoted the idea of a rebirth of the Super Snake program. He signed ten dash plaques for the cars, as did Carroll Shelby.
