3.1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake

Original cost: Not offered to the general public Value today: $2,200,000,500 miles at an average speed of 142 miles per hour—how does that sound? Joyriding at dangerously high speeds wouldn't be a good idea for most of us. What about Shelby's GT500 Super Snake, though? Nothing could have gone more easily. In actuality, the fast car kept 97% of the tread.

The Super Snake was created as a result of the car designer's desire to create a sports car that was both safe and faster than its rivals. And it shook up the automotive industry. The iconic muscle vehicle is currently the most expensive Mustang in the world, having sold for nearly $2 million in 2019.
