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 Raven Black with red striping, #23 of 43 is

disc brakes and 17-inch American Racing Shelby Cobra wheels. The
interior features custom leather a 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. The car is listed in the
