The 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake is one of the rarest and most mysterious Shelby muscle cars ever created. Built as a high-speed demonstration vehicle, this one-off machine combined Shelby’s aggressive Mustang styling with a race-derived 427-cubic-inch V8 connected to Ford’s legendary GT40 racing program.
With approximately 520 horsepower, massive torque, lightweight performance engineering, and a reported top speed approaching 170 mph, the Super Snake was far more than an ordinary Mustang. It was an extreme experiment in American performance, built to demonstrate what Shelby could create when racing technology met the road.
In this video, we explore the story, engine, performance, engineering, rarity, testing, and history behind the 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake—and why this forgotten Shelby became one of the most fascinating legends of the classic American muscle-car era.
If you love classic cars, Shelby Mustangs, Carroll Shelby, American muscle cars, Ford Mustang history, big-block V8s, racing history, and vintage automotive documentaries, this story is for you.
