1967 GT500E Super Snake Eleanor

In 1967, Carroll Shelby built (1) 1967 Super Snake Mustang with a 427FE engine, and planned on building a total of 50. But because of the $7500 price, there were no additional cars built. Carroll Shelby authorized Unique Performance to build 75 additional cars in 2001. Of those, only 16 or 17 were ever finished, making this car a “One Of A Kind” car with all the authorized Shelby parts. It is registered in the Eleanor World Registry as EWR #003. It won the 2007 MOCA (Mustang Owners Club of Austin) Ford & Mustang show with a Class Award and the more important Participants’ Choice (Drivers or Entrants Choice).

Shelby/Baer 13” front disc brakes and 12” rear disc help stop the beast.

About Mustang

The Ford Mustang is an automobile manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. It was initially based on the second generation North American Ford Falcon, a compact car. Introduced early on April 17, 1964, as a "1964½" model, the 1965 Mustang was the automaker's most successful launch since the Model A. The model is Ford's third oldest nameplate in production and has undergone several transformations to its current fifth generation. The Mustang created the "pony car" class of American automobiles sports car-like coupes with long hoods and short rear decks and gave rise to competitors such as GM's Chevrolet Camaro, AMC's Javelin, and Chrysler's revamped Plymouth Barracuda. It also inspired coupés such as the Toyota Celica and Ford Capri, which were exported to the United States. Ford and several third party companies offered many modified versions of the highly popular Mustang in order to cater to specific portions of the marketplace outside of the mainstream. High performance enthusiasts seek more powerful, sharper handling, sports cars, while collectors and purists seek limited production and alternate or nostalgic styling, such as is commonly found on many commemmorative editions. Still, others were made purely for experimental concepts such as the McLauren M81 (turbo) and SVO, which later influenced production model design. Most variants include both performance upgrades, and unique cosmetic treatments that are typically minimal to maintain the familiar appearance of a stock Mustang. Although most of these Mustang variants were aimed at enthusiasts, a notable exception was the Special Service Package (or SSP), which was designed specifically for law enforcement.
