The Shelby Super Snake nameplate is one steeped in performance lore, tracing its origins back to the legendary 1967 GT500 Super Snake – a one-off creation built by Carroll Shelby himself, originally intended to test Goodyear's new Thunderbolt tires. That original beast, fitted with a lightweight 427 FE racing engine, set a benchmark for extreme Mustang performance. Decades later, Shelby American revived the Super Snake for the S197-generation Mustang GT500, transforming an already potent machine into a road-going missile. These modern Super Snakes continued the tradition of bespoke, high-horsepower upgrades, pushing the boundaries of what a Mustang could be and solidifying their place as the ultimate expression of Shelby's vision. This stunning 2012 Shelby GT500 Super Snake embodies that heritage, presented in the iconic Kona Metallic Blue with Matte White Super Snake stripes. With a mere 3,500 miles on the odometer, this example has been meticulously preserved. Under the hood lies the heart of the Super Snake: a supercharged 5.4L V8, significantly enhanced with an 800 HP Kenne Bell Supercharger, paired with a rewarding 6-speed manual transmission. This particular car holds special significance, being a 2012 model – the 50th anniversary of Shelby American and the final year of Carroll Shelby's life, making it one of the last cars to benefit from his direct involvement in engineering and performance. It comes with full documentation, including a Shelby Certificate of Authenticity and a Carroll Shelby original signature on the airbag cover. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a piece of modern Shelby history, representing the pinnacle of the S197 Super Snake lineage.
