It was only a matter of time, you knew this was coming. In April I spent some time with Shelby's Gary Patterson a couple of days after they had taken delivery of their first new 2010 Ford Shelby GT-500 in Kona Blue, to begin work on what would become the next Super Snake. I asked him what they had in store and he of course gave me a smile and a wink, saying nothing other than "it wont be long".

This very car made its debut in Tulsa, OK this week at the Mid-America Ford Meet. The event has always been a strong Shelby cultured event, and the debut of the new 2010 Shelby GT-500 Super Snake package as well as five other new packages will surely be the center piece of stories to come. So lets cut to the quick. The few initial sneak peek photos tell most of the story and the specs listed below tell the rest.

This package is specifically for 2010 Shelby GT500s only and only 500 will be built, making this model one of the rarest of the breed. Now we need to get back up to Las Vegas and take one of these monsters for a drive. When that happens we will go more in depth.

For owners of the 2005-2009 Mustang, Shelby Automobiles has just announced a new package program just for you. With the new Shelby Supercharged and Shelby SR post title packages, you can send your Mustang GT to Shelby for a vacation and have it transformed into a genuine Shelby, complete with serial number in the Shelby Registry.

The two new 500+ horsepower post-title packages for the 2005-2009 Ford Mustang GT include serious performance upgrades and exterior styling cues that will set your car apart from the breed. Both packages are 50-state legal too.

The Shelby Supercharged package includes a Kenne Bell Supercharger that cranks out 500 HP. In addition, to this increase in horsepower, the package includes improvements to the Mustang GTs handling, styling and stopping power.

Lee Iacocca has gotten together with Galpin Ford to create a modern day legacy of his passion for Mustang, the Iacocca Anniversary Edition. Only 45 of the “2009 ½” Silver Edition Mustangs will be built and offered through Galpin Ford in North Hills, Ca.

The design of the special car was a collaboration between Lee Iacocca, designer Michael Leone, and Gaffolglio Family Metalcrafters. The company calls itself "I Legacy". Their customized Mustang features redesigned front fascia side skirts and designer touches throughout. Making this car special is the metal work and hand crafted customization that goes well beyond the “body kit” of many tuner-cars.

This custom metal fabrication can especially be seen in the rear flanks of the custom c-pillar, side profile and rear deck-lid. The crafters created sculpted inset lines in the upper rear vent area and raised the roofline. It makes the 1960's fastback silhouette come alive in a very special way.
