SUMMARY
1-owner car that's logged only 894 milesMore often than not, the sad thing about owning a documented collector car is that you have to lock it in a bubble and drive it with the haste of a Brass Era survivor. Because of an innate aversion to that sort of 'fine print', many enthusiasts are beginning to rethink the old purist's adage: "vintage is always better". And hobbyists who actually enjoy driving their world class muscle are beginning to buy purpose-built performers like this sinister Shelby Super Snake. Wrapping 750 horsepower worth of supercharged Coyote motor in track-ready athletics and all the luxury of a modern grand tourer, this incredible coupe will make you the star of your own 1-car parade! Looking for some awesome muscle that can be shown AND cruised? When you experience this sweet Ford, you won't even give the word "classic" a second thought!
BODYWORK/TRIM
A pampered garage queen that's traveled a mere 894 sunny day miles in the hands of one meticulous owner, this premium Mustang has wowed crowds ever since it rolled in to our 250-car showroom. Its radiant appearance begins with rich Magnetic Metallic 2-stage that's traced in a full array of Matte Black Shelby stripes. That monochromatic detailing, which hangs clean "SUPER SNAKE" cutouts opposite traditional "SHELBY" cutouts, highlights aggressive rockers, bold fender emblems, and heated, power-operated and carbon fiber capped mirrors. Above those mirrors, tinted glass centers a clear Center High Mount Stop Lamp on a sculpted wing, intermittent wipers and a contoured hood that's finished with color-keyed vents. At the tip of that hood, automatic HID headlamps combine with LED fog lamps to light a 3M-coated front-clip, which anchors anodized billet grilles behind a carbon fiber splitter and requisite Super Snake branding. And, opposite that signage, a carbon fiber valance founds an ornate Shelby roundel and sequential LED taillights between a carbon fiber diffuser, bold "S H E L B Y" lettering and polished stainless exhaust tips.
ENGINE
Created as a turnkey package for enthusiasts who want a reliably engineered Mustang that unlocks the full potential of Ford's legendary Coyote V8, this spotless thoroughbred utilizes a proven whipple supercharger to crank out an astonishing 750 horsepower! Front-and-center, the car's polished blower makes good use of Ford cold air induction, which marries clean aesthetics with excellent efficiency. Speaking of efficiency, a high-performance Shelby GT radiator helps the raucous mill keep its cool. At the sides of the engine, monochromatic Shelby coil covers join a carbon fiber latch cover and Shelby-branded caps and fluid reservoirs to dress things up a bit. And, as with all Shelby specialties, this Mustang proudly displays a small Shelby American badge that verifies its authenticity. Aesthetically, the spotless mill features a typical OEM-level appearance that displays hardly any signs of usage. And when you twist the eager engine's key, you become the lead composer of a veritable orchestra of sinister whines and octane-fueled roars!
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Straight from Dearborn the S550 Mustang is a very capable foundation; and with a few upgrades from Shelby American, it becomes a true force to be reckoned with! Behind the engine, a Shelby-cooled 6R80 6-speed utilizes convenient paddle shifters to twist a Shelby 1-piece, aluminum driveshaft. That tube spins a Shelby-cooled 8.8-inch carrier, which utilizes a WaveTrac differential and Shelby 3.55 gears to jerk sturdy Shelby half-shafts. That drivetrain powers a tight Ford Racing suspension, which is augmented with electronic power steering, a Shelby camber/castor kit and Shelby's adjustable rear toe rod. At the corners of those bones, red Shelby/Wilwood calipers, ducted, 6-piston units up front and 4-piston units out back, utilize standard anti-lock hardware and AdvanceTrac traction control to squeeze drilled and slotted rotors. At the corners of the floor, Matte Black blades spin 275/35ZR20 Michelin Pilot Super Sports in front of 305/30ZR20 Michelin Pilot Super Sports. The car's killer engine note is provided by a rowdy Shelby GT exhaust system. And overall, the bottom of this wicked Ford appears to have spent 80% of its life tucked away in a dry garage and 20% of its life serving as a pampered weekend cruiser.
INTERIOR
Inside this coupe, bright Katzkin inserts adorn snug buckets seats, two of which are Shelby-branded Ford Racing Recaros that feature 5-point Schroth safety harnesses. The dash is a familiar Mustang layout, which hangs satin-trimmed instrumentation beneath a small Shelby American badge and Shelby-commissioned Auto Meter Cobalt accessory gauges. Below those gauges, SYNC 3 infotainment bundles a CD player, MP3 compatibility, satellite capability and voice-activated navigation over dual-zone climate control and pushbutton start. At the base of that waterfall, a short gear selector leads an impressive console that's detailed with lighted cupholders. Beneath that island, rich carpet backs Shelby-branded floor mats, metal-trimmed foot pedals and lighted Super Snake sills. Above those sills, French-stitched panels found power door locks and 1-touch power windows in front of trick pony puddle lamps. In front of the driver, a Shelby-branded steering wheel spins a red-stitched rim around adaptive cruise control and a tilt and telescoping column. And naturally, all the luxuries you'd expect in a high dollar modern car are ready and waiting, including: Intelligent Access, ambient lighting, selectable drive modes, Track Apps with line lock, a crisp Shaker sound system and a standard rearview camera.
