2013 shelby gt500 super snake for sale

900hp 1,848 mile GT500 Super Snake Wide Body 5.8L SC V8 6-Speed Holeshot Pkg.

By now, there's really no need for a Carroll Shelby history lesson. We're all very familiar with Shelby's contributions to the automotive world, especially regarding the legendary Mustang. Shel's pony cars have always been great to look at and even better to drive, giving examples like this tailored Super Snake virtually universal appeal. Featuring 900 horsepower and a $146K build cost, this Ford is a killer street slayer that's wrapped in taut leather and dressed in cool wide body aesthetics. And if you're looking for a future collectable that can double as a genuinely fun weekend warrior, it's just your style!

RED AND SILVER ROYALTY

Stretching silky Red Candy Metallic Tinted Clearcoat between Sterling racing stripes, a sculpted profile and official Shelby call-outs, this predatory Mustang has obviously seen meticulous care since new. As you can tell from our high-resolution photography, the car's body is in excellent condition. That body's shiny, wet-look panels are straight and solid thanks to no history of accidents or damage of any kind. And a close look down this Ford's muscular fuselage reveals hand-tailored finishing that's considered world-class by any standard.

Like most Shelby bolt-ons, the firm's Wide Body Kit is meant to turn Ford's definition of good into the enthusiast's definition of great. At the front of this mean mare, an aggressive GT500 fascia centers gridded grilles between HID headlamps, halogen fog lamps and a carbon fiber Super Snake splitter. At the top of that grille, a buff Super Snake hood leads painted mirrors, which reflect a premium Panoramic Roof that's centered on tinted side glass and Super Snake quarter window covers. At the sides of that hood, 3-inch widened fenders hang billet Shelby emblems above remodeled, color-keyed rockers. At the back of those rockers, 6-inch widened quarters host a short antenna opposite a billet Shelby fuel filler. And at the back of the car, an aggressive wing shades bold trunk lettering, a faux fuel filler, factory Ford taillights and polished Shelby exhaust tips.

NINE HUNDRED

When the 2013 Super Snake debuted, many automotive publications literally asked the question: “Is 850 horsepower too much?” And, in typical Shelby fashion, the answer was “We also have a 1,000 horsepower option.” Using a 5.8 liter version of Ford's legendary DOHC 'mod motor', this incredible Super Snake utilizes a 3.6 liter Kenne Bell supercharger to crank out an astonishing 900 horsepower. That polished, liquid-cooled blower makes great use of a Kenne Bell cold air induction system, which marries a polished tube with a reusable filter element. Bright Ford Blue cam covers anchor dynamic SVT coil covers behind Shelby's trick caps and sticks. A standard Shelby Performance Cooling Package incorporates a lightweight radiator and an efficient heat exchanger beneath aluminum coolant reservoirs. Since this Mustang is equipped with Shelby's coveted Hole-Shot Package, it mixes performance cams and a 10% overdriven crank pulley with oil separators and a custom dyno tune. As expected, the car proudly displays both a small SVT badge and a subtle Shelby American plaque, which boasts its exclusive positioning in both automobilia and the broad Mustang family. And aesthetically, the spotless mill features a typical OEM-level appearance that displays hardly any signs of usage.

SVT AND SHELBY

As most performance car fans already know, Ford's D2C chassis is nothing short of excellent. And with a few quality bolt-ons, it sticks to the corners like the high-speed luge winner at the 2014 Winter Olympics. The upgrades begin with an SVT-tuned suspension that puts power down with the help of a billet, Shelby Hole-Shot-spec Watt's Link. Behind the smooth engine, a slick-shifting Tremec TR6060 6-speed, finished with a Hole-Shot-spec Super Twin clutch, spins power to Shelby 3.73 gears and a Hole-Shot-spec anti-hop torsion axle. At the corners of the car, red Wilwood calipers squeeze giant drilled and slotted rotors behind standard Shelby ducts. Turns come courtesy of Ford's super-efficient power-assisted steering. Spent gases flow through Hole-Shot-spec exhaust, which aligns long-tube headers with an X-shaped crossover, high-flow cats and throaty Borla mufflers. Naturally, Ford's standard ABS and AdvanceTrac traction control systems are present and accounted for. And all this first-class speed and agility rides on forged Shelby alloys, which spin 275/35ZR20 Michelin Pilot Super Sports in front of 345/30ZR20 Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

CLASSIC OPULENCE

Inside this 'stang, sizzling Katzkin seats, which feature power adjustment for the car's driver, ride opposite a leather-wrapped steering wheel that's equipped with Cruise Control and redundant audio buttons. The dash is a familiar Mustang layout that hangs satin-trimmed telemetry beneath integrated AutoMeter A-pillar gauges. Below those vitals, a crisp Shaker stereo combines SYNC infotainment with standard navigation. Below those electronics, a small Shelby plaque leads a Shelby-branded console that's detailed with a short, leather-booted shifter. Beneath that console, rich carpet floats “GT500” branded floor mats between metal foot pedals and lighted Super Snake sills. And naturally, all the luxuries you'd expect in a modern Ford are ready and waiting, including power windows, power door locks, air conditioning, anti-theft and Remote Keyless Entry.

Featuring a beastly motor, great chassis dynamics and exclusive aesthetics, this Shelby is one cool collectible! Add in limited production and paltry miles, and this thoroughbred starts to look like a great buy. If you have room for one of the baddest production Mustangs ever assembled, don't miss the chance to own this awesome Super Snake!
