This Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 Super Snake is an imposing and supremely powerful modern high-performance American muscle car, offered with low mileage from new. Under the bonnet sits a Kenne Bell supercharged 5.4-litre ‘Modular’ V8, understood to deliver over 597kW (800bhp) to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. This example was shipped from new to the Shelby Headquarters in Las Vegas in 2011 to be rebuilt to Super Snake specification, and was also converted to right-hand drive for its Australian target market. It arrived in Australia in March 2013, and was quickly sent to the authorised Shelby agents and Mustang specialist, Mustang Motorsport, where it was further upgraded with notable performance enhancements and a widebody kit. This Shelby Mustang GT Super Snake is believed to be one of only two widebody S197-generation examples currently in Australia. The odometer shows just 20,130 Kms from new. Build year: 2010 Improving on the already impressive Shelby Mustang GT500, the S197-generation Super Snake package brought with it a host of desirable performance, cosmetic and handling upgrades, including a Ford Racing handling pack with dynamic adjustable dampers, lowering springs, tuned stabiliser bars, and a front strut brace, as well as a Shelby/Ford racing supercharger, a Borla exhaust system, a short-throw shifter, forged Shelby/Baer six-piston brake callipers, and uprated brake discs. Super Snake cosmetic enhancements included front brake cooling ducts and behind the door rear quarter light side scoops, a unique fibreglass ‘Ram Air’ bonnet with pins, carbon-fibre rocker panels, a carbon-fibre front splitter, ‘Super Snake’ badging on the front grille and front wings, and ‘Shelby’ lettering across the boot lid under the rear spoiler. This example is finished in the vibrant shade of Torch Red with a contrasting matte-black racing stripe and ‘GT500 Super Snake’ side decals, over a black leather and Alcantara-trimmed interior, featuring embossed ‘Super Snake’ emblems on the front seat backs, quilted inserts on the door cards and seats, embroidered ‘Shelby GT500 Super Snake’ logos on the front headrests, and satin-grey, silver, brushed metal-effect and carbon-fibre trim. It rides on a set of 20-inch Shelby Super Snake deep-dish machined forged multi-spoke alloy wheels, framing red Shelby-branded brake callipers and fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres. Equipment includes xenon headlights, a carbon-fibre rear diffuser, cruise control, a built-in Shaker CD stereo, air conditioning, switchable traction control, A-pillar-mounted Auto Meter ‘Carbon Fibre Ultra-Lite’ boost, fuel pressure and oil pressure gauges, and partially electrically adjustable front seats. This example was enhanced by technicians at Mustang Motorsport in Victoria with a widebody kit, carbon-fibre side skirts, a Kenne Bell supercharger kit, a special Shelby 800bhp+ engine tune, the Shelby ‘ultimate cooling package’, and a one-piece tail shaft rated to cope with 1,000bhp. The car comes with two keys, a Shelby Certificate of Authentication, all the owner’s manuals, a photocopy of the invoice from Shelby American for the Super Snake upgrade, the Australian import documents, a ‘Deluxe Marti Report’, some upgrade parts leaflets and information, the original owner’s certificate, a factory build sheet, a deposit receipt and authorisation form from Shelby American for the Super Snake Package upgrade, the Kenne Bell Supercharger warranty card and information leaflet, and a number of maintenance and parts invoices. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: major repainting work was carried out following the installation of the widebody kit, and the dashboard leather upholstery needs some attention. The car’s last roadworthiness test was conducted in January 2025, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass. This Mustang’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in March 2025 at around 19,300 Kms by Meridian Garage, which consisted of a general service. Previous general services were conducted in June 2023 at 18,116 Kms, and in June 2024 at 19,203 Kms.
