World's Only 1967 GT500 Super Snake Could Be Yours... For $3 Million
With all this
Barrett-Jackson
brouhaha around, we must not forget that there are other
places to spend torrents of money on a vintage car. Say, on eBay Motors,
where $3,000,000 will buy you the only GT500
Super Snake that
Carroll Shelby ever made. You get the 520-horse 427, the rights to the
SuperSnake.org website, and about
a million tons of history with the deal. But still, we can't help
wondering how many Omni GLHSs you could buy with 3 megabucks and still
have enough left over for a mansion and a couple of
Zimmer Golden Spirits- probably all of them!
A
Special model
built at Shelby American for Mel Burns Ford. Intended to be the first of
50 but no other Super Snake was built due to the retail price of $7,500
and a 427 Cobra could be bought for roughly the same amount.
Driven by
Carroll Shelby at the Goodyear test track in Texas for "Goodyear
Thunderbolt" tire promotion film production. Carroll recorded lap speeds
over 150 mph and top speed of 170 mph!
The Snake
has been carefully detailed and would do great in any show but its
uniqueness will always set it apart no matter were it goes.
Appeared on
“My Classic Car” 1/21/96. Listed in the Shelby American World
Registry-1997 and the subject of many magazine articles.
