2009 FORD SHELBY SUPER SNAKE PRUDHOMME EDITION

Racing legends Carroll Shelby and Don The Snake Prudhomme joined forces to build the ultimate street-legal dragster. Only six Prudhomme Super Snake packages were built by Shelby Autos this one carrying CSM #09SP0003. The two icons unveiled it during a reception at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum in February 2009. The Prudhomme Edition Super Snake concept car is powered by a 5.4-liter supercharged engine that makes 800hp on race fuel or 750hp on 93-octane pump gas and is backed by a 6-speed manual transmission. The concept also includes a Kenne Bell modified air intake sticking out of the hood in the tilt front end a 5-point impact safety harness and Borla side exhaust system. A front and rear adjustable BMR racing suspension and drag tires are included. Intended to be a true street-legal drag car the build team at Shelby Autos used the championship careers of Carroll Shelby and Don Prudhomme as their inspiration. Shelby was twice named Sports Illustrateds Driver of the Year. Prudhommes successful racing career included winning the NHRA funny car championship four times and he was the first funny car driver to exceed 250 mph. Prudhomme even drove a Shelby Super Snake dragster for the 1968 NHRA season. With less than 1000 actual miles it has fully documented ownership and includes street wheels and tires as well as the original drag wheels and tires.
