--Metallic Green with Gold and Black Interior, 7.0-liter Cobra Jet V-8 equipped with a Shelby intake and Holley 700 CFM four-barrel carburetor, Three-speed C6 automatic transmission, 400 horsepower, From the care of the Carroll Shelby Foundation, Faithful re-creation of the legendary Green Hornet. 1,000 miles since build, A true 1 of 1 Shelby creation.
This incredible "Green Hornet" recreation was built by Legendary G.T., an authorized builder of classic Shelby Mustangs. The original Green Hornet was a mysterious and successful one-of-a kind Shelby prototype which served as a test bed for Shelby performance. Shelby's team used the car to design and prototype everything from an independent rear suspension to electronic fuel injection and more!
In 2005, Carroll Shelby had the idea to re-create the original Green Hornet and contacted his friends at Legendary GT Continuation Cars to coordinate the build. This car was built as a tribute to Shelby's original Green Hornet EXP500 test car. Legendary G.T. sourced a 1968 Mustang “California Special” in La Mirada, California and a complete nut-and-bolt restoration and the build of this “Green Hornet” recreation was under way.
The ”new” Green Hornet was fitted with an original Shelby 428ci V-8 engine, which is documented by a certificate of authenticity signed by Carroll Shelby. The 428 was fitted with an original Cobra Jet manifold exhaust system, a Shelby intake, water pump, valve covers, Cobra air cleaner, and a Holly 700 carburetor with high volume fuel pump. The 428 engine was mated to a C-6 automatic transmission with an external cooler, and which sends power to the 9-inch Currie rear end, spinning the Shelby 10-spoke wheels wrapped in Goodyear rubber. Inside, the car received an OEM deluxe interior clad in two-tone gold and black with an original 68' Cobra steering wheel. To finish off, the dash has been customized with Legendary Autometer gauges to keep the driver in tune.
This “Green Hornet” recreation comes complete with a copy of the original title and well as a copy of Carroll Shelby's title, history, spare wheel, factory jack and wrench. Documented in the Shelby registry, this is a true 1 of 1 in excellent restored condition and with superb provenance.
Having recently no-sale'd d at the following auction, we have acquired the green hornet in a recent trade. Serious offers are welcome.
