KISS 1956 Shelby-inspired F-100 Truck Sells For $450k at Barrett-Jackson - Mustangs and Fords Magazine
The Shelby-inspired 1956 F-100 “Snakebit” unveiled by KISS-bassist Gene Simmons and his wife, Shannon Tweed-Simmons, at this past 2013 SEMA show, made its way through Barrett-Jackson and sold for a staggering $450,000 to help build a children’s... Built with factory support from Ford, this supercharged truck generates 550 horsepower out of a 5. 4L V-8 engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission from a Shelby GT500, but that’s not the only thing screaming Mustang on this truck. The all-steel front fascia, headlights, and hood transform the front of the truck to look like a Shelby Mustang. With a modern Mustang front end on a classic Ford truck, many mixed feelings have been expressed online regarding the build. Whether you dig the truck or not, we can all agree that this old Ford was built for a good cause – The Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan – home to the family of Shannon Tweed-Simmons.
