“Shelby American has built cutting-edge experimental versions of the Shelby GT500 since the model was launched in 1967,” said Joe Conway, CEO of Shelby American. It should be noted that none of them made it into production. Little Red had twin superchargers and a host of other innovations. The Green Hornet was used to test fuel injection and independent rear suspension. Shelby’s GT500 Super Snake had a 427-race engine. These were the 1968 Green Hornet, the 1967 Super Snake, and the 1967 Little Red. Shelby American has only produced EXP (or experimental) versions three times before. However, demand from customers has led the company to commit to producing 30 units.
The Code Red was conceived as a testbed for future developments. The Shelby GT500 Code Red is made by Shelby American, which is not to be confused with the high-performance Mustangs produced by Ford that carry the same famous name.
