All you have to say is the original sold for 1.3 million and there will be a market for $249,995+ 67 Mustangs. Now since one is born every minute where are the 10 coming from?
I wonder if the Series 2 will be streetable - the Series 1 was never certified for street use - I guess you could always register it as a kit car.

I would think that they will be registered as whatever the car was originally? If that was a 6 cylinder, 3 speed, that's what it will show.

Being a '67, there isn't any place left in the US that it will have to conform to any emissions except a closed pcv system. In addition, probably only California will even care about that at all. So don't sell them in California.

I'm thinking though that if they do a nice job on them they may be marketable for $250 to celebrity types who don't have time to make their own plus there aren't exactly a lot of decent 67 FB's left to work on but finding 10 shouldn't be a deal breaker?

Based on the photos, it looks like these continuation Super Snakes will be exact...even down to the “Caution Fan” sticker.  ::)

I thought my idea of having a REAL VINTAGE car...( 1189) with a real vintage engine, capable of running the SUPER SNAKE numbers was a singular personal journey to have the fastest street Shelby on the planet. Looks like others want to get in on the fun, cant blame them I suppose :-\

The day Shelby American starts putting Red Lights back on their 67’s upper scoops, I’m selling my car and getting out of this hobby.

  The registry would be easy,
     xxxxxx0001  Options :Whatever the current owner says . "One time owned by CS"
     xxxxxx0002  Options : something different than 0001   "Once owned by CS"
    ETC.

Didn't they make a '67 C.C.S. GT500 "Super Snake" several years ago?

That all chrome grille looks out of place. The original had black mesh with just chrome around the outer lights.

 All they need now is some of the original "crew" to be involved. That will justify the cost. ;)

  Maybe they will be built in an airport hanger in Pennsylvania.
