While looking at someone's post for the "mexican motorcycle crash" here on this forum, I came across a Mustang website.
Check out this old Mustang and how much it went for (without meeting the reserve) on eBay!
...Only one Shelby Super Snake was made in 1967. It was intended to be the first of 50, but no other Super Snake was built due to the retail price was $7,500 and a 427 Cobra could be bought for roughly the same amount. It was driven by Carroll Shelby at Goodyear's test track in Texas for tire promotion film production. Carroll recorded lap speeds over 150 mph and top speed of 170 mph! It was factory equipped with a unique blue narrow-wide-narrow Lemans Stripes; powered by a 520-horsepower lightweight 427 medium-riser engine with aluminum heads, tuned headers, 780 CFM Holley 4V carb, aluminum intake, oil cooler, remote filter, 4 speed trans backed up by a 4.11 Detroit locker rear end. It appeared on Ebay twice in late 2002, but the reserve was not met. Bids reached $169,100....
DAMN! It may be out of place here, but it's certainly interesting.

I saw alot of Mustang facts in there that I never heard of. They even listed a special edition where only two were made that produced 1200 HP!!!
Also, they showed a aluminum big block "HEMI" that I also never knew existed.
The 1970 Boss 429 contained a 429cid hemi-head V-8 engine that was so big it would not fit in the 1969 Mustang without modifications to the car's suspension. Ford set up a separate assembly line, where the 429s were squeezed into 859 fastbacks. Only 499 Boss 429s were made in 1970, creating a car that was so rare that it was a legend by the end of the model year. They were available in Grabber Blue, Grabber Green, Grabber Orange, Calypso Coral, and Pastel Blue. Interiors were black or white.
These bad boys were in the late late 60's to early 70's right before emissions started in to crack down in 1972. The same emissions that killed Mopars allmight Muscle cars as well!
