Documented by Shelby American as CSM 23SS0203 and identified as #3 of only 98 Super Snake Speedsters produced for the 2023 model year, this 2023 Ford Shelby Super Snake Speedster represents one of the earliest serialized examples of the final S550-generation Shelby flagship. Showing just 140 miles, the car combines Shelby's exclusive Speedster package with an 825-horsepower supercharged powertrain and official Shelby serialization and registry documentation. This highly limited-production Speedster commemorates Carroll Shelby's 98th birthday through a U. S. production run restricted to just 98 examples.
Finished in Carbonized Gray Metallic, the Speedster presents a purposeful appearance that highlights Shelby's comprehensive body modifications and performance-focused design. Black vinyl stripes accent the exterior, while the exclusive Speedster package replaces the standard convertible rear seating area with a color-matched, dual-hump Speedster tonneau cover inspired by classic competition roadsters. Shelby-specific front and rear fascias, a vented ram-air hood, widened front fenders, revised rocker treatments, and distinctive badging distinguish the car from a standard Mustang GT. A front splitter, rear spoiler, and hexagonal exhaust outlets reinforce its aggressive character, while black forged 20" Shelby wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S performance tires complete the package.
Power comes from Ford's 5.0L Coyote V8, upgraded by Shelby American with a polished Whipple supercharger to produce a claimed 825 horsepower. Additional Shelby performance upgrades include a high-capacity cooling system, performance intake, Shelby engine calibration, and a Borla performance exhaust system. Power is delivered through a 10-speed automatic transmission to a Torsen limited-slip differential with 3.55 gearing, while MagneRide adaptive suspension, Shelby-tuned springs, Brembo power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes with six-piston front calipers, and performance chassis calibration provide handling and braking capabilities commensurate with the increased output.
The cabin combines modern Mustang technology with Shelby-exclusive appointments. Ebony leather-trimmed seating is complemented by Shelby embroidery, carbon-fiber interior accents, and serialized Shelby badging identifying the car as CSM 23SS0203. Equipped with the desirable Equipment Group 401A, the interior features heated and ventilated power front seats, a digital instrument cluster, SYNC 3 infotainment with voice-activated navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a Bang & Olufsen premium audio system, dual-zone automatic climate control, ambient interior lighting, and a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel. The Speedster conversion preserves the convertible's open-air driving experience while adding a distinctive dual-hump tonneau cover that sets it apart from a standard Mustang convertible.
Representing one of the earliest serialized examples of Shelby's final S550-based Super Snake Speedster, this documented #3 of 98 combines exceptionally low mileage, official Shelby registry documentation, and one of the most exclusive production packages offered by Shelby American. With just 140 miles from new, factory documentation, and the unmistakable presence of an 825-horsepower Shelby flagship, it stands as a highly collectible modern American performance car that celebrates the enduring legacy of Carroll Shelby.
