Shelby GT500 Super Snake (1967) – 170 MPH
The 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake is a one-of-a-kind Mustang that has achieved near-mythical status among car enthusiasts. Built for top-speed testing, this car featured a race-spec 427-cubic-inch engine, a special differential ratio, and prototype Goodyear tires. While it hit a blazing 170 mph during tests, plans for production were scrapped due to the project’s high cost. Today, it stands as one of the most iconic Mustangs ever built.
