Alloy Dave Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Ok, first a disclaimer...I saw this on TV this morning and I'm doing it from memory, so cut me a break if I get some of the facts wrong. I saw a Dream Car Garage episode where they showed a Mustang ( I think it was a 1967) that they called a Super Snake. It was white with blue stripes, really awesome looking. My wife was asking me what I wanted for breakfast just when they said a few key things, so I didn't hear all the info , but I think they said there was only one of these in existence. It had a 427 Medium Rise engine boasting somewhere between 500 and 600 horsepower. I'm sure they will be showing reruns of that show throughout the day/week, so watch for it on speed channel. It was only one 10 minute segment of the 30 minute show. Also they had a car called the Daytona Shelby on there. This is a new vehicle, where some company had arranged a licensing agreement with Shelby. The car was a bit too "swoopy" looking for my taste, but some may like it.

Cobra Boy Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 The 67 Gt500 Super Snake was built by Shelby for Mel Burns Ford. I think he reached a top speed of 170 something. No more were built due to the cost. They were around $7500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I owned a 1967 Mustang back in the late '70s, but other than that it's been all GM for me up until I saw the new Mustangs. I enjoy all musclecars, although I've never owned a Chrysler. I'm not one to bash a given make, although I do think each has their weak and strong points. I'm much more informed about the Camaro since I own a '69 with a Z28 drivetrain (not a real Z though). However, I get the pan on the head if I talk Chevy too much around here. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
