One of the most iconic names in the world of the Ford Mustang is Shelby. With a company reputation built on an outstanding record in endurance racing, Shelby has spent decades both performing aftermarket modifications to Mustangs and working with Ford to make Shelby-spec Mustangs right out of the factory, most recently with the GT500. Sarchione Ford Randolph has specialized in both of these, and is by far the top Shelby Mustang retailer in Ohio. Ford might have discontinued the GT500 following the 2022 model year, but Shelby-modified Mustangs are still being built every day. These might differ a bit from the Shelby Mustangs you’re used to seeing, so we’ve put together a guide to the new Shelby Mustang conversions available from Sarchione Ford Randolph. Of course, our friendly and knowledgeable team can also assist you if you have additional questions.
The Shelby GT is, as the name suggests, based on the Mustang GT, but has been extensively modified. The Shelby GT gets Shelby spec wheels and tires, suspension components from Ford Performance, a unique Shelby vented hood, and a Borla exhaust system that adds 10 horsepower (for a total of 460) to the GT. The exterior styling changes include a redesigned grille, a rear spoiler, and billet aluminum fluid caps, all with Le Mans-style striping and Shebly badging all around. Inside, you’ll find unique upholstery, door sill plates, and a dash plaque that firmly establishes each vehicle as a collector’s item.
Optional equipment is available, and the highlight of the available equipment is a supercharger that bumps the Shelby GT up to 750 horsepower. This is part of the GT/SC package, which also comes with a suspension upgrade and unique striping. The Heavy Duty Package adds an extreme radiator and other touches to help the Mustang handle all of the additional power. Extreme Brembo brakes are available too, along with a rear seat delete, a wide body kit, and multiple suspension choices.

Additional Options:
Shelby has always reserved the name Super Snake for the most extreme examples to leave the Shelby factory, and this 825-horsepower beast is certainly no exception. It’s powered by a 5.0-liter Ford Coyote V8 with a Whipple supercharger that pushes it up to the extreme power figures that you associate with Shelby. Cooling, for both the engine and transmission, is improved, it gets new suspension, wheels, tires, and a set of massive Brembo brakes with six-piston front calipers and 4-piston calipers for the rear. There’s a Borla exhaust and examples with a manual transmission get a short-throw shifter and a one-piece drive shaft.
The Super Snake has aluminum wide body fenders, a ram-air hood, and several aerodynamic touches. Super Snake badging is added, and for a retro touch, Shelby louvered quarter windows. The interior is fully upgraded, and includes special seats, floor mats, door sills, and a carbon fiber gauge pod.
There are further options, although the Super Snake is already so heavily modified that there aren’t a ton. They include painted stripe options, a harness bar, customizable Penske suspension, and a more extensive wide body package that comes with unique two-piece wheels. There is also a Speedster Edition of the Super Snake, which comes with a Speedster-style convertible tonneau cover, as well as unique badging and stripes. Just 98 are built per model year, and each comes with a number plaque.
