The Ford Mustang’s storied history boasts numerous custom editions, yet the 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake stands at the pinnacle, partly because Shelby made just one prototype. This one-of-a-kind beast fetched a jaw-dropping $1.3 million at a Mecum auction in 2013, proving that sometimes, one is indeed the loneliest—and most lucrative—number. Fast forward to 2017, and Shelby commemorates this legendary machine with a 50th Anniversary Edition, celebrating half a century of tire-squealing glory.
Revving up the streets since the ’60s, the Shelby Mustang Cobra Jet line-up—GT 350, GT 500, and the rip-roaring GT 500 KR—brought muscle car enthusiasts a blend of track prowess and road-friendly charm. With engines packing more punch than a high-octane energy drink and a design slicker than a greased lightning bolt, these rides left Ferraris eating dust at Lemans. Ford’s “bread and butter” engines kept the horsepower high and the insurance premiums low, proving that sometimes, less is more—especially when it comes to horsepower stats!
Behold the 1966 Shelby GT350 Mustang Convertible: a car so legendary, even its rear-view mirror reflects pure awe. Originally a humble 23,000-mile C-code convertible, its Texan owner decided it needed a little more vroom-vroom and embarked on a quest to build the ultimate Shelby GT350 convertible. Armed with genuine Shelby Hi-Po components, this Mustang now roars with the spirit of a thousand horsepower horses. It’s the automotive version of a superhero origin story—minus the spandex.
