“Few thought that Shelby American would make it in the car business for 50 years,” said Carroll Shelby.
“We built the first Cobra in a rented garage and then GT350’s in an old hanger.
But our company is still here, manufacturing the best cars that I’ve ever made.
The next 50 years will be even better for Shelby American.”
The Shelby American name is synonymous with high performance worldwide.
Over the past five decades, the company has relentlessly pushed the envelope with a string of superior vehicles and parts.
“Our golden anniversary is a remarkable milestone worthy of this limited edition line of Shelby vehicles,” said John Luft, president of Shelby American.
“On the heels of the unprecedented sellout of our 50th Anniversary Edition Cobra 289, we expect demand for these new Shelby’s to be strong.”
Only 50 white and 50 black 50th Anniversary Edition cars are available; each will boast gold stripes to signify the golden anniversary.
In addition, each Shelby comes with commemorative 50th anniversary badging, custom interiors, special wheels, 6 piston front brakes, car cover and a unique VIN number that will be entered into the official registry.
A special museum delivery ceremony at the Shelby factory in Las Vegas is also included in the package, as well as exclusive collector merchandise.
The most powerful Shelby built yet, the GT500 Super Snake is available in 650, 750 or 800 horsepower configuration as a coupe or convertible.
Based on the Ford Shelby GT500, the car is enhanced at the Shelby American facility with more powerful brakes, better handling and updated styling cues to match the higher horsepower motor.
The 50 white and 50 black anniversary edition cars will carry gold stripes, a first and one- year only option for the Shelby.
The anniversary package begins at $59,995, not including base car.
“From the 800 horsepower Shelby Super Snake to the agile GT350 and nimble GTS, each 50th anniversary Shelby is built to run,” noted Luft.
“A 50-year anniversary only comes around once in life.
These limited edition Shelbys will mark that milestone for a select few who have a chance to own a piece of history.”
