In 2012, those enthusiasts wanting to get behind the wheel of the most capable Mustang turned, once again, to the undisputed champ - the Shelby GT500 Super Snake.

1962 marked the beginning of a legend when Carroll Shelby opened his original shop. By 1965 he and Ford had joined forces to debut the Shelby Mustang and in 1967 Shelby upped the ante with the GT500 Super Snake. Although the original plan called for a larger production scale, only one was actually made before the project was scrapped and Shelby’s collaboration with Ford wrapped up in the early 1970’s. After the rift between Shelby and Ford was mended in 2007, the legendary GT500 made its return and in 2008 Shelby finally got to see his Super Snake project come to fruition.
