Ford Built This Mustang So Fast... They Had To Bury It

In 1967, Carroll Shelby and Ford created a monster: a Shelby GT500 equipped with a Le Mans-winning GT40 427 engine that hit 170 MPH on Goodyear test tires. It was faster than the Lamborghini Miura and Ferrari of its era. Yet, Ford made sure not a single customer could buy it. This is the full story of the 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake (Chassis #0544)—how a simple tire test turned into automotive legend, why a spreadsheet killed its 50-car production run, and how it eventually became a $2.2 Million classic car record-breaker. #Mustang #ShelbyGT500 #SuperSnake #CarrollShelby #ClassicCars #AutomotiveHistory #FordMustang #gt40
