Used 2007 Ford Mustang for sale in New Braunfels, Texas
Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is absolutely honored to be able to offer an iconic piece of Mustang heritage and Ford automotive history, this ultra-exclusive 2007 Shelby GT500 Super Snake Signature Edition finished in Performance White clearcoat with the iconic Vista Blue Shelby stripe. Throughout the past several decades, a handful of vehicles have been produced that make all but the most performance-minded of individuals ask Why? In the case of the 2007 Shelby GT500 Super Snake, it appears that even Ford was tasked with contemplating the same quandary!This 2007 GT500 Super Snake was a production Mustang so brazen in its design and performance attributes, that if you bought it, the Super Snake was yours, and yours only. Ford, nor most insurance companies, wished to bear any responsibility for the hot-rodding shenanigans that were sure to follow. With a total output of 725 hp & 610 lb.ft. of torque, their decision was likely justifiable. However, with the additional option of the Shelby Holeshot Package that includes the performance cam, long tube headers & hi-flow cats, custom tune, a rear axle upgrade & a performance super twin clutch to name a few things, the HP & torque rose dramatically. This is to be expected when adding an option that cost almost $23,000 on top of the Super Snake Signature Edition package itself. All Shelby documentation, order forms, invoices and extra keys/FOBS will be included to the lucky new owner.The high-output Shelby was outfitted with a custom hood, carbon fiber front fascia splitter, sequential tail lights, front/rear brake ducting, and a signature striping kit, which paid homage to GT500 models from yesteryear. Carbon fiber mirror covers and rocker panels also came standard, but this one goes a step further with the carbon fiber front splitter, radiator cover and assorted added carbon fiber pieces throughout. Every piece added to the Super Snake was ordered directly from Shelby Performance Parts in Las Vegas, NV. and will include extra billet filler caps as well as brand new mats.The Super Snake also came heavily badged, from front to rear. The cars rear deck lid featured distinctive SHELBY badging, while a Super Snake emblem could be found on its grille. Super Snake badging also appeared along both front fenders, as well within the Shelbys side striping. Equally impressive was the Super Snakes highly refined interior. Perhaps most notable, was the Mustangs use of consecutively numbered plaques, which validated each units authenticity. This Shelby is CSM No. 07SSSE0044 & it was special ordered from Shelby Performance loaded to the tees! Such plaques could be found on the Super Snakes dash, along its door sills, and in the vehicles engine bay. Satin door lock knobs, Shelby floor mats, the optional Interior Upgrade package w/ standard seats ($2,995) and Shelby Signature Series gauges rounded out the Super Snakes interior appearance.As striking as the Super Snake was, its true value, to most, lied beneath the hood. Crammed between each front fender was a Kenne Bell Supercharger-equipped 5.4L V8. This powerplant was nothing short of fearsome and utilized 12 psi of boost, a special Shelby tune, and a high-flow intake to generate 750+ horsepower, until the Holeshot Package ($22,595) was added, and then it went into an entirely different stratosphere! This also has the polished Shelby/Kenne Bell 800hp supercharger option ($1500), the Shelby High-Performance Cooling System ($2,995) as well as the Shelby rear brake upgrade ($2,995). The original owner has overseen this Shelby since day 1 and it is now being offered with only 501 original miles! Yes, 501 miles.The Super Snakes staggering output was directed through a six-speed manual transmission, which featured a Ford short-throw shifter, a 3 -inch driveshaft, and a set of 3.73 gears. This setup proved to be extremely efficient, as the Super Snake recorded mile times of only 10.87 seconds, with a top speed of 134 MPH.However, the Super Snakes was designed to not only provide stellar straight-line performance but to dominate the road track as well. In a bid to make this possible, Ford outfitted the Super Snake with a specialized Shelby/Eibach Coil over suspension system ($975), as well as Eibach sway bars. The cars coil over system could be adjusted to meet driver demand and was capable of providing excellent responsiveness, no matter the conditions that were faced.The 2007 GT500 Super Snake is still known today as one of the most powerful Mustangs to have ever been produced. While many would be led to believe that the market for such a heavily tuned vehicle would be somewhat limited, sales of the Super Snake were quite impressive. Only 1000 units were produced in 2007, all of which sold without delay. For those who currently own a Super Snake, little doubt exists as to the true value of this highly collectible Mustang. While the price tag for such a purchase was indeed steep, little beats the excitement associated with knowing that unlimited potential awaits at each stab of the accelerator pedal. This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of the most exclusive muscle cars of the 21st century!
