That car needs some nice wide meaty meats on the rear end....

If I got in that thing those tires are gone in an hour. A million dollar car cannot be driven properly as one with that kind of horse power. I had a 67 Mustang Fastback with a 390 4 speed when I was a senior in high school and the year after. Got more tickets in those 2 years than the rest of my entire life.

If I was going to get stupid with a lot of money on a vehicle, this would be a start.

Eh, who wants a 5 decade old car with terrible gas mileage and no ABS or air bags? I'll give 'em $500 and we'll call it fair.

As the Luniz once said....I got 5 on it!

A friend bought a 76 Mustang II Cobra with the 302 5 speed in early 1977. We were riding around in it and he said how so you do a burn out with this car ?? He asked me to show him how to do a burn out.

Now we were a bit altered, not a lot but loosened up pretty good. I wound that car up to about 5 grand and dropped the clutch in 2nd gear. That thing just went up in smoke, posi taking it sideways, hooked up and off we went. He said show me again, which I did about 5 times and then he tried it got the hang of in about 3 trys and then proceeded to do about a dozen burnouts. Those tires were shot in two weeks after he bought it. That was a bizarre experience. I see him about twice a year and that always comes up.

If I had the money, I'd be bidding on it. I've never heard of this GT500 Super Snake. This one is odd as it's engine is different than Carrol Shelby's 427 AC Cobra Super Snake (which I HAVE heard of).

Why did the 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake sell for $5.5 million?

If I had the money I'd have both of these.

When I was 14 (in Georgia) my brother I testdrove my future car, a very shiny dark green 68 Mustang coupe (I was a poor Georgia boy at the time).
We drove up the street out of earshot of the dealer to a big church parking lot & roasted the tires off that thing. We had so much fun that day that I plopped down $150 as a down payment ($650 sale price in 1973) & my mom cosigned for me. I was a Bell Hop at a Howard Johnson motel in Macon Ga making $1.25 per hour.
I asked the salesman about the motor, he said "It sure as Hell ain't stock" and I told him "I know"!!!...

The wife says she'll put $10k on it...
She loves Mustangs!!!

Bought this. Put a sprint car engine in it. It would break the rear tires loose at 70 mph in 3rd gear. That was enough for me.

 

[orygun]

Very cool car. I wouldn't change tire size, but I would change lots of tires if I owned that beauty.
But one is expensive enough. At least I got a chance to take it out for a stroll today.

Mustangs suck
But let's keep gas mileage out of the discussion
You must drive a Prius,,,?

Ironically, whoever ends up paying stupid money for that "performance" car will probably never drive it how it was intended. Likely won't even be a "car guy". It'll just be an investment to him.

given the frustration of saturated travel routes and legal limitations on any public highway I've never understood the irrational preoccupation with 'performance' excesses....even in those long-ago days when my own thoughts were of high horsepower & unimpeded road ahead.
