A Mustang GT Premium walks into a Jacksonville Ford dealership and walks out wearing a Shelby badge, a supercharger, and a sticker price above $175,000. This 830-plus-horsepower Super Snake build raises an obvious question: does it actually deliver supercar performance in a genuinely usable American package, or is the badge doing most of the heavy lifting? Watch the full walkaround to decide for yourself.
CNN doesn’t usually cover classic cars, but this 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake earned a rare mainstream feature built around its extreme rarity and a documented, unusual ownership history. Built in famously small numbers by Carroll Shelby’s shop, the Super Snake pushed the already fearsome 427 Cobra platform to its absolute limit with almost no concession to comfort. One commenter’s father sold Cobras from a 1960s Ford dealership and had stories to match. Watch to see why this one earned its nickname honestly.
