The Carroll Shelby Foundation will auction a one-off Jordin Sparks Edition 2010 Shelby GT500 Super Snake next week during the “Jordin Sparks Experience” at Super Bowl XLIV in Miami.
The live auction, which will begin with a minimum bid of $75,000, will take place February 3 during the “Cars, Stars, & Cigars” portion of the event at the Eden Roc Renaissance at Miami Beach. Recording artist Jordin Sparks will host the gathering, which will include performances and appearances by the brightest stars in sports and entertainment. Proceeds from the Shelby Super Snake auction will be split between the Carroll Shelby Foundation and Sparks Charities.
The Carroll Shelby Foundation was founded by automotive legend Carroll Shelby to provide financial support for children battling life-threatening illnesses and promote continuing education. “Partnering with Jordin Sparks and Sparks Charities will give us an amazing opportunity to raise funds for our children’s health and education initiatives,” said Jenni Shreeves, director of the Carroll Shelby Foundation.
“With Jordin’s help, the team at Shelby American built a stunning new GT500 Super Snake with design options unique to this car. We’re proud to be part of this Super Bowl event that will help worthy organizations across the country.”
The red custom Mustang includes a 750-horsepower Super Snake package from Shelby American, which enhances the car’s handling, styling, and power. From monster brakes to beefy suspension pieces, the Shelby has supercar capabilities. Exclusivity will be assured as a limited number of Super Snakes will be built at the Shelby American facility in Las Vegas or one of the Mod Shops. The value of the Shelby Super Snake package is $29,995 (does not include the car).
The interior of the pony car includes a unique Jordin Sparks touch sponsored by Roadwire Leather Interiors. Special features include a custom Alcantara-enhanced OEM replacement leather interior, airbag validated driver and passenger seat foam replacement with aggressive driving bolsters, and a new shift boot and center console to match.
The car was unveiled last week during the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona
