Vehicle Description
In 2001, Carroll Shelby authorized Unique Performance of Dallas to
build 75 GT500E Continuation Super Snakes. The GT500E was the most
powerful regular production Shelby offered for general sale. It has
a unique history; it was originally delivered in February 2006 and
was returned to Unique Performance in early 2007 for service. While
in service, Unique Performance entered bankruptcy, and the car
ended up in custody of the Texas state police. Upon release, it was
sent to Revved Automotive Performance for service and repair from
impound. Finished in a stunning Raven Black with red striping, #23
of 43 is powered by a bored and stroked Shelby Performance 427ci V8
engine with 482 cubic inches of displacement and a Vortech
Supercharger. Fitted with a RAM hydraulic clutch mated to a TREMEC
TKO600 5-speed manual transmission and 3-inch aluminum driveshaft.
Other notable features include a Currie 9-inch rear axle with 3.50
gears, Torsen differential, Total Control power rack-&-pinion
steering, 4-wheel disc brakes and 17-inch American Racing Shelby
Cobra wheels. The interior features custom leather a trick Shelby
shifter, 5-point G-Force safety harnesses and special Shelby "Super
Snake" badging and branding. In the trunk is a Rick's fuel cell and
NOS tank, Sony subwoofers and a full-size spare tire. Listed in the
