Real 1968 Shelby Ford Mustang (GT500-SR, Street Racer Convertible) One of One! Designed and built by Carrol Shelby, Unique Performance and Chip Foose in their 2005 Eleanor, Super Snake, Shelby Continuation Series. Currently Doug's Demo. This striking yellow Shelby with black Shelby stripes is a stallion of a Mustang when the rubber meets the road with fire breathing 427/725hp power plant. This Mustang is not a clone. It is an official Shelby, authenticated by production number CSCSR001C in the Shelby Registry. Powered by a 427 FE aluminum engine, stroked and bored to 482 c.i. with 8 throttle body carburetors on top. This was an upgrade in the build process, boosting the horsepower to an incredible 725 horsepower with a Tremec 5-speed transmission to control the power. Gorgeous Shelby black bucket seat interior with all of the correct Shelby/Super Snake options. Rolling on correct Shelby wheels. The pictures of the GT500-SR on the black top are in front of our dealership, American Dream Machines, with the matching truck and trailer, before it sold at Barrett Jackson for $325,000, plus 10% commission. The matching truck and trailer were sold by the new buyer because he was going to drive it.
