So what’s the price tag of all this? That in part depends on the cost of the GT500 Mustang donor car. Then add $149,995 for a total of about $200,000 to $250,000. Which is actually fairly cheap when you consider that a new 1,000 HP Bugatti Veryon will run you $2.75 million. When I asked about fuel mileage Mr. Patterson told me that it should be in the 12 to 15 mpg range. Not bad, but then who’s asking. There’s also the track-only 1100 HP Shelby 1000 SC. This one carrying a Whipple supercharger, racing headers and a Borla 3-inch exhaust system for additional power. This version comes in at $154,995 on top of the donor car. The factory has begun accepting orders. Twenty units were sold the first year and sales continue being made into 2013, and no more than 100-units per year will be built. So hurry up and get yours! When completed, you can pick your car up at the Shelby Museum in Las Vegas and drive it home.
