Description
Verified by the Shelby American Automobile Club, this iconic Shelby, no. 5S227 is one of the 562 built and one of only nine dealer prepared drag race cars of the model year. It was first raced by Mike Gray for its original owners, Reynolds Ford of Syracuse New York and was given the name “Super Horse”
“Super Horse”competed in both drag and road racing events for over 40 years; it has an authentic and significant racing history. It has also been featured in numerous articles and books over the years. Detailed history and documentation will be forwarded on request.
In 2011, Cobra Automotive of Wallingford Connecticut, fastidiously restored the Shelby for its new owner and it was superbly finished to its original race livery. It has not raced since then.
The new owner imported the restored Shelby into Australia in 2012. It was purchased by Ian Cummins in 2015 and has remained part of his collection to this day. During its time in Australia, it has been used for display purposes only, attracting much attention and admiration. This wonderful motor car has a striking presence both on a showroom floor and at any historic motoring event.
It is now presented for sale in truly superbly restored condition. This famous Shelby would be an excellent addition to any classic car collection and is a genuine investment.
