FOR SALE: Richard’s 815hp 1967 Shelby Super Snake Eleanor Mustang

richards-1967-ford-mustang-super-snake-elenaor-gt500-garage-cover

The interest in the post I made about Richard’s 1967 Shelby Super Snake Eleanor has been astounding. It seems his car is loved by a lot of people, and it’s no wonder so many people have commented by asking if it is for sale. Well I though I would post an update to let you all know that it is FOR SALE! for a cool $250,000 big ones.

On Richard’s website he states “I have had so many people asking if my car is for sale, that I will post a sale price. Everything is for sale at the right price. And since Carroll Shelby through Unique Performance is no longer manufacturing these beautiful cars, this has become one of the rarest 1967 Shelby GT500E Eleanor Super Snakes available. It is only one of 17 that has been completed.

I am asking $250,000 Firm! If you are seriously interested, use the “Contact Us” page. Please, no crank inquiries.

I know i’ve put this in the other post but here is a breakdown of the car.

The Super Snake has the following Unique Performance authorized Shelby GT500E parts including:

* Shelby GT500E Center Console
* Shelby GT500E Floor Mats
* Shelby GT500E 200 MPH Signature Gauges
* Shelby GT500E Signed Dash
* Shelby GT500E Steering Wheel
* Shelby Aluminum 427FE Vortech Supercharged
* Shelby Signature Car Cover
* Shelby/Baer Track Tour Disc Brakes
* Unique Performance Coilover Front & Rear Suspension

And also these optional upgrades including:

* “Fast” Electronic Fuel Injection (increased HP to 815 and quicker throttle response)
* PSE Wheels – 8×17 front & 11×17 rear with tubbing
* “Leather” High back Embroidered Super Snake Seats
* Overhead lighted console
* “Polished” T-Trim supercharger
* “Polished” Vortech Throttle Body Cover
* Oversized Be Cool Radiator
* Triple underside & inside heat insulation
* 22 gallon Fuel Cell
* G-Force Quick Release 5 point Harness
* Electronic Remote Trunk Release
* Power Windows
* Power Door Locks
* Alarm w/Remote that vibrates when alarm is activated
* JVC KD-NX5000 GPS/DVD/CD/MP3/Bluetooth in dash
* Backup Camera

She is fortunate enough to have the last Shelby Aluminum 427FE engine built by legendary race engine builder Keith Craft Racing (builder of all the Shelby Super Snake Eleanor Engines). It has been bored and stroked to 482ci. with a T Trim Vortech supercharger. Fast XFI Fuel Injection has been added and it has been dyno’d at 815bhp and 733 ft. lb. torque.

Backed up by a TKO 600 5 speed transmission and a 9” rear coilover axle this car has all the attributes of a modern performance car. The front end has been replaced with coilover suspension and a TCP rack & pinion steering kit. The car is pulled to a halt with Shelby/Baer 13” front disc brakes and 12” rear discs.

  15. Is this a unique peformance build?.I hear most of the cars they built need to be rebuilt because of bad workmanship.Everything from drivetrain to paint needs alot of attention.Im so glad i didnt buy from them.

    Posted by Adrian Salvo | June 2, 2009, 3:27 am
  16. Adrian, This car was not built buy UP. Richard bought almost all the parts from them and built it himself to their spec. He had a massive thread and then subsequent DVD with all his build pictures and instructions. This is probably the finest one ever built. no expense was spared and the attention to detail was amazing!

    Posted by Cameron | June 2, 2009, 3:55 am
  17. Thats great to here that,hope he gets what its worth.It does look awesome.Ive read some horror stories with the Unique cars,cars that almost need total rebuilding.I really feel for everyone that didnt get there car from UP

    Posted by Adrian Salvo | June 2, 2009, 7:46 am
  18. I thought it may have been a UP car because of the engine and supersnake specs.Have you seen how many things could go wrong with a unique car.I had a look on the revved auto concepts site.They are fixing alot of the problems with the UP cars

  25. ‘m Looking for a Mustang Shelby GT 500 67 for sale in the United States of America. I found several, one more beautiful than the other, however the prices are skyrocketing as are all in good condition. I have a question: Anyone else I find this amazing car for a value of up to 10,000 dollars. (for retirement)

    Posted by Fernando | September 10, 2009, 9:19 pm
  26. I am just completing an E car four years in the build, It has a full tube chassis with a Martz tube front end, and has a FE 427 with Nitrous 5spd Tremec it is structually and cosmetically superior to this thing here I dare say! and I will let it go for $135,000!!!! after years of looking at E cars and prices this black thing(seriously wrong) is about a $140,000 range given the engine, but no more because its just a good car with a good engine but nothing else!

    Posted by Elkay | October 12, 2009, 12:31 am
  27. Hey love the car I’m going over there as soon as possible but ill give you 100,000 or 75,000 .
