eBay Find of the Day: $3 million for the only 1967 Shelby GT500 SuperSnake ever made

You might be asking the same question that we are. Why isn't this thing at Barrett-Jackson? With the auction less than a week away, this car would have been the perfect candidate for an over-zealous buyer to pay way too much for a classic muscle car. Only one Shelby GT500 SuperSnake was ever built, so it's even more rare than the Shelby Cobra SuperSnake that sold for $5 million at Barrett-Jackson last year. Shelby built twice as many of those! Still, it doesn't make the $3 million Buy It Now price sound any less ridiculous. Cool features of this truly-and-honestly one-of-a-kind car include a 427ci V8 with 520 horsepower, a 170 mph top speed and unique triple stripes.

He'd bring it to B-J for auction, but he wants to make sure he gets enough floor time.

I'd rather have a clone and 2.9 millions of change.

totally sweet ride, although i must agree that it is a waste of money... even if $3mil is pocket change to you.

People don't buy it for it's great value. People buy it for the same reason they buy a Model T. It's a collectors item. For a Mustang lover, or any classic car lover for that matter, this is worth it.

You mean to tell me that a one of a kind 40 year old car, with a big block, and that I paid $3,000,000 for would not make a good daily driver.
Shocking insight you have. Really...just amazing

you're a complete idiot. these cars represent all that is holy and good about America. not to mention it's sexy.

I'm amazed that somebody would pay more than $800 for a used Falcon.
But seriously...Maybe this vehicle didn't make the B-J cut, either in entry timing or condition.

Oh Dave, you have no clue do you. The fact that this is a one-of-a-kind vehicle built by one of the most famous names in American motorsport history should maybe give you a clue. I really don't think the buyer of this car will care that it's a Ford, or that it has a shaky ride, or that they can't use it as a daily driver. But keeping bashing a ledgendary automobile anyway, it's really helping your argument.

My dad knew Carroll Shelby fairly well an as he used to say, "He's a legend in his own mind". I never say it should be a daily driver. I said it was a POS!! Like everything Ford has built. Now they have Microsoft in there cars....more crap! I guess next you'll have to buy anti-virus for cars!

wow. Dave, if you never post on autoblog again, it will be too soon.

So you're trying to tell us that every vehicle Ford has built, such the best selling pick up in North America for over 25 years, and the Mustang which has outlived and outsold it's competitors from GM and Dodge, are all POS'?
And lets not forget the number of emergency vehicles our police and medical agencies rely on everyday.
Ford's reputation is far from the best when it comes to overall reliability, but as far as fun, inexpensive, and useful vehicles is concerned, not many others come close. Keep bashing Ford all you want, it's just making you look more foolish.

The reason it's on Ebay is simple. Larger audience. Ebay can reach more buyers than BJ can.
