Now called the XR7-G, the package went far deeper as it involved not just L- M, but Caroll Shelby himself. L-M wanted to make a major upgrade in the Dan Gurney package, but it was beyound the abilities of the Dearborn Assembly Plant (DAP) where Mustangs and Cougars were built. So L-M put together a plan to farm out the cars that would have the Gurney package to Shelby Automotive.

I found an expired listing (no sale) on ebay of a 1968 Mercury Cougar XR7-G in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Not familiar with that model, I began to research and found out it was a very limited production car built on the same line, and likely by the same folks that built my GT350, only a few months earlier. Well, it was just meant to be in my garage. I negotiated with the owner over several weeks, a lot of photos were transferred during our discussions – was even able to talk with previous owners. We struck a deal just before it was placed in into winter storage (a lot of early snow falls in Alberta). I had it shipped and delivered. It is a bit more challenging to transport a car across an international border but my shipper handled the task well. TW: So how long have you had it; will you show it, cruise with it, or will you take it to work on nice days? MK: I’ve owned the car since October 2015 and it is primarily a show and cruise car. Not likely ever to see it at Kroger’s. TW: What about it is original or what has been changed from how it came from the factory? MK: This car is restored and with all factory components. There have been no modifications performed. There is constant tweaking as I learn more about XR7-Gs but, it is stock. Ads for the Cougar TW: You’ve mentioned that you work at Ford. How XR7-G from long, and what do you do there (if I may ask)? MK: I work at Ford’s Automatic Transmission New Mercury (above) Product Development Center and am a Program promoting the Dan Engineer for a new hybrid transmission.

    2020 SHELBY GT500 DRAGON SNAKE CONCEPT www.SHELBY.com 702.942.7325 Unveiled in the Ford Motor Company’s display at the 2019 SEMA show in Las Vegas, the Shelby GT500 Dragon Snake is a modern take on a proven Shelby philosophy. During the 1960s, Shelby American offered a drag racing version of the Shelby Cobra called the “Dragonsnake.” Given the new Ford Shelby GT500’s dual clutch transmission and stout 5.2L engine, Shelby American reimagined Ford’s new Mustang supercar for that same mission. The Shelby team’s design for the Dragon Snake adds more power to the car (800 HP+), revises the suspension for maximum grip and straight line acceleration, lightens the car with specialty equipment and exotic materials, retunes the DCT and modifies the bodywork including unique wheels. A widebody option is also being considered. In addition to the engine tune, Shelby American added high-flow catalytic converters, new lightweight glasswork and other innovations. 2020 Shelby GT500 Dragon Snake Concept Standard Features Performance Exteriors Interiors - Shelby suspension system - Carbon fiber hood - Custom Shelby leather interior - MagneRide enabled - Drag style carbon fiber spoiler - Serialized CSM numbered engine plate - Front and rear springs - One-piece forged aluminum wheels - Serialized CSM numbered dash plaque -Front and rear sway bars - Hardened and extended wheel studs - Shelby Supercharger upgrade - Performance tires - Windshield and glass package - Wide body option - Performance Half-shafts - Shelby hood pins - Full exhaust system - Striping and badging - Catalytic converters - Mufflers + exhaust tips (Cat back system) - Emissions complaint 50 state legal FOB Las Vegas.
