Under the hood, Ford&rsquo;s 5.4-liter V8 was supercharged with a monstrous 3.6-liter Kenne Bell blower, and Shelby wasn&rsquo;t content to stop there. The 1000 also got new injectors, an upgraded fuel system, forged internals, and ported heads.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>The result was a road-going Mustang producing 950 horsepower and 750 lb-ft of torque, enough to send a cold chill down the spine of every Cars &amp; Coffee meet within a 50-mile radius. For those crazy enough to want more, a track version cranked out a ridiculous 1,100 horsepower. It was estimated the 1000 could hit 60 mph in around 3.7 seconds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/shelby\/\">Shelby<\/a> is thought to have only ever built 20 Mustang 1000s, so it&rsquo;s quite rare to see an example hit the used market. But Mecum got its hands on one, and it will cross the auction block next month.<\/p>\n<p>It was originally built for David Yurman, a successful jeweler, and has only ever been driven 973 miles (1,565 km). If you&rsquo;re not a fan of newer Mustangs and want one with more horsepower than sense (ed&rsquo;s note: shouldn&rsquo;t all fun pony cars be that way?), this could be just what the doctor ordered.<\/p>\n<section class=\"type:slideshow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/section>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mecum Auctions<\/h4>\n<p>Numerous other modifications were made to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/06\/shelby-gt500-crash-colorado-burnout-fail-car-meet\/\">the Mustang<\/a> to ensure it could (or at least do its best to) handle this kind of horsepower. These include an upgraded 9-inch rear end, new six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers, and a strengthened driveshaft. <\/p>\n<p>Shelby also added stiffer springs, sway bars, and bushings, along with a lightweight carbon fiber hood featuring functional air vents to keep the engine bay cool.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Adding to the car&rsquo;s desirability is the fact that it was the final model overseen by Carroll Shelby himself before his passing in May 2012.
