2012 Ford Shelby GT500 Base

2012 Shelby 1000 S/C Presenting an ultra-rare and historically significant 2012 Shelby 1000 S/C, serial number CSM 12SM0003, documented as the first retail-delivered 2012 Shelby 1000 through Shelby American's exclusive Museum Delivery Program in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Shelby 1000 is one of the rarest Shelbys ever built. With only 19 built, these 1000s are extremely desirable and have become increasingly hard to find over time. Carroll Shelby had the ultimate dream of building a 1000-horsepower Mustang for the street, and his idea resulted in the Shelby 1000. This Shelby 1000 is even rarer because of its upgraded S/C package. Finished in stunning Race Red over a Charcoal interior, this Shelby 1000 S/C represents the pinnacle of modern American muscle, combining world-class engineering, limited production exclusivity, and documented provenance directly from Shelby American. Accompanying the car are its original Shelby Museum Delivery Certificate signed by Carroll Shelby, Shelby 1000 S/C specification documents, and delivery paperwork identifying original owner Larry McLanahan, along with VIN 1ZVBP8JSXC5228126 and Shelby serial number 12SM0003. Built upon the already formidable 2012 Shelby GT500 platform, this example is further optioned with the highly desirable Shelby 1000 S/C Package, a $5,000 factory Shelby American upgrade, on top of the $150,000 Shelby 1000 package, which elevated output to an astonishing 1,100 horsepower. The package includes a belt-driven Shelby/Kenne Bell 3.6-liter supercharger system featuring a massive 4.5-inch inlet pipe and a 127mm mass airflow meter, along with Shelby/American Racing Headers, transforming this Shelby 1000 S/C into one of the most powerful street cars of its era. Shelby American engineered the car with an extensive list of race-inspired upgrades and performance enhancements designed to harness the incredible power while maintaining drivability and durability. Additional engine upgrades include a Shelby/Kenne Bell twin-blade 1850cfm throttle body, grooved race-prepared assembly with upgraded rods, pistons, rings, oil pump, and bearings, Shelby blower grind camshafts, upgraded valve springs, titanium retainers, stage 3 ported heads, high-capacity oil pan, and reinforced main/head studs. Fuel and airflow enhancements include 72lb injectors and a custom high-flow fuel system, while exhaust exits through a Shelby/Borla custom 3-inch stainless cat-back system delivering an unmistakable supercar-level soundtrack. Backing the monstrous powerplant is a Shelby Super Twin clutch and aluminum flywheel assembly, connected to a reinforced driveline featuring a billet-aluminum driveshaft with a billet flange, upgraded transmission support, a driveshaft tunnel brace, and a custom 9-inch rear end with a Wavetrac differential. Suspension and chassis dynamics were extensively upgraded with Shelby/Eibach adjustable suspension, billet Watts link, tubular control arms, anti-hop suspension upgrades, caster/camber plates, and billet lightweight drive pulleys. Massive Shelby/Wilwood brakes featuring six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers provide exceptional stopping power, while forged 3-piece Shelby wheels wrapped in high-performance tires complete the aggressive stance. Shelby American further enhanced the car's appearance with a Shelby carbon fiber package, a custom fiberglass hood, reflective side graphics, a custom rear deck filler panel, and an upgraded interior. Additional upgrades include a high-flow water pump, performance cooling package with HE heat exchanger, billet short-throw shifter, oil/air separators, and Shelby's premium museum delivery package. The documentation shows an original MSRP of $206,940, underscoring the exclusivity and engineering behind this flagship Shelby build. As one of the earliest Shelby 1000s produced and documented as the first retail museum delivery example, this vehicle represents an extraordinary opportunity for collectors seeking one of the most
