Shelby American are going to build 10 extra examples of one of their most ferocious muscle cars of the 1960s, in a continuation build run.
Powered by a brutish 550hp 427cui (7-litre) V8, either aluminium or iron construction depending on owner specs, the brand new cars will be built from '67 Mustang fastback shells just the originals.

However, the continuation Super Snakes will cost $250,000 (USD) a sight more than the $7500 the one and only Super Snake built back in 1967 cost!
What classic muscle car do you want to be put back into production? Let us know in the comments.

Contributing Journalist
A love of classic American and European cars drove Iain Kelly to motoring journalism straight out of high school, via the ownership of a tired 1975 HJ Holden Monaro.
For nearly 20 years he has worked on magazines and websites catering to modified late model high-performance Japanese and European tuner cars, as well as traditional hot rods, muscle cars and street machines. Some of these titles include Auto Salon, LSX Tuner, MOTOR, Forged, Freestyle Rides, Roadkill, SPEED, and Street Machine. He counts his trip to the USA to help build Mighty Car Mods’ “Subarute” along with co-authoring their recent book, The Cars of Mighty Car Mods, among his career highlights.
Iain lends his expertise to CarsGuide for a variety of advice projects, along with legitimising his automotive obsession with regular OverSteer contributions.
Although his practical skills working on cars is nearly all self-taught, he still loves nothing more than spending quality time in the shed working on his project car, a 1964 Pontiac. He also admits to also having an addiction to E30 BMWs and Subaru Liberty RS Turbos, both of which he has had multiple examples of. With car choices like that, at least his mum thinks he is cool.
