A one-of-250 Ford Mustang Shelby Super Snake recently went up for sale with just 750 miles on the clock, but it also came with a bit of a catch.
The first-ever Shelby to bear the Super Snake name was a prototype released in 1967, which could produce up to 650hp and hit speeds of more than 150mph.
That prototype stood alone for four long decades before the Super Snake was revived in 2007.
Each generation of the Super Snake is made in strictly limited numbers, so the opportunity to snap one up is fairly rare.

The 2024 Ford Mustang Shelby Super Snake is a rare find
The opportunity recently arose to buy a 2024 Ford Mustang Shelby Super Snake, which was placed up for sale on Cars & Bids.
The stunning ‘Stang had just 750 miles on the clock and was finished in Oxford White with exclusive Shelby Super Snake branding.
The car had been given a boost, thanks to a carbon fiber widebody kit and carbon fiber rear wing, and it sat on 20-inch forged magnesium wheels.
Inside, the interior was kitted out in Black Onyx and featured heated leather seats, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, a rearview camera, and a wireless charger.
Under the hood, the Super Snake was powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission that can produce around 830hp.
Of course, it had also had several modifications from Shelby, including a Whipple supercharger, a Shelby suspension system, upgraded brake rotors, and more.
However, the listing also revealed that the car had a bit of a rough time.
The car had sustained water damage in the past
A Carfax report for the 2024 Ford Mustang Shelby Super Snake showed it had been ‘declared a total loss by an insurance company due to water damage in July 2025’.
But all was not lost, because the car was bought by a dealer in September, who carried out an extensive amount of work on the vehicle, and it now carried a rebuilt title.
The dealer removed the car’s interior, cleaned it, dried it, and then inspected all the car’s mechanical and electrical components for signs of water intrusion.
As an extra precaution, they also drained and replaced all the fluids.
“The vehicle was fully dried, inspected, and verified to be in proper working condition prior to resale,” the dealer said.
The sale attracted a flurry of interest and a top bid of $80,000, but when the auction drew to a close, the reserve hadn’t been met, and the Super Snake remained unsold.
