And then there are cars like this sinister Shelby Super Snake that are wicked manifestations of high octane and pure adrenaline! Listed in the Shelby Unified Registry and 1 of only 43 Continuation Super Snakes ever produced this killer pony could be the ultimate big block Ford. With one twist of its key 468 cubic inches of supercharged V8 roars to life shattering any thinly veiled subtlety into a million pieces. When its rubber bites the pavement a custom suspension and beefy Tremec 5-speed afford a steady diet of modern performance poseurs thats seasoned with the occasional golden age classic. And if youre looking for some pedigreed metal that crosses legendary heritage with fresh DNA its the stuff your dreams are made of! BODYWORK/TRIM Like so many things modern-era Shelby the story of the Continuation Super Snakes is a bit of a convoluted tale. But like so many things classic-era Shelby that story is part of what makes the cars so cool and so collectable. Back in 2001 Shelby authorized Dallas Unique Performance to build 400 Base and Performance GT500Es and 75 GT500E Super Snakes. Unfortunately Unique Performance experienced major financial strain and only 43 Super Snakes made it out of the hole. Naturally that financial strain caused the company to cut costs and compromise quality. And while this coupe CSE-SS058 had accumulated an initial construction cost of $171K by its June 2006 completion date it needed quite a bit of post-build sorting. After everything on the numbers side got settled the car was sent to Revved Automotive Concepts for an additional $100K of work. And today this Ford roils as one of the coolest fastest most lust worthy and most exclusive Mustangs on the planet! Given its fledgling age youthful aesthetics and mere break-in miles this Shelby could be considered a brilliant bundle of showroom-fresh aggression. At the leading edge of this slick coupe clear fog lights PIAA driving lamps and bright halogen headlights front classy billet grilles which line an Eleanor-style fascia. At the top of those grilles polished lanyards pin an aggressive hood in front of fresh glass thats framed in straight trim polished wipers bullet-style mirrors and sculpted pillar scoops. At the base of that glass Shelby fender caps rowdy side pipes and a Monza-style fuel filler cage traditional door handles and vivid GT500E emblems. And at the back of the car traditional Shelby taillights center a third GT500E emblem between a color-keyed bumper a lightweight decklid and small PIAA reverse lamps. ENGINE Hoist the cars snug fitting hood and youll find 482 cubic inches of Shelby big block that twists big horsepower into gobs of stump-pulling torque! The primary focus of Revved Automotive Concepts careful sorting this all-aluminum FE was sent to famed Shelby dealer Gessford Machine for a complete rebuild. At the top of the bored and stroked mill Gessford-fabricated cold air induction funnels wind in to a Shelby-commissioned Vortech supercharger. That blower utilizes a 2.70 pulley to combine 5-6 pounds of boost with quality FAST XFI fuel injection. A resulting air/fuel mixture makes its way from a port-matched Edelbrock intake to CNC-ported Edelbrock heads which hide a Tandamp;D rocker system and Cometic MLS gaskets under Shelby-branded |
