Shelby Opens Speed Shop in Las Vegas

Custom performance vehicle manufacturer Shelby American announced it has opened a new Speed Shop in Las Vegas, Nevada. Dubbed the Shelby American Motorsports Speed Shop, the facility is located on the grounds of Shelby American headquarters and Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The company says the new Speed Shop is designed to enhance the performance of all American muscle cars.

“Shelby American’s roots began when Carroll Shelby and his band of hot rodders founded the company in 1962,” said John Luft, president of Shelby.

“This spirit lives in the company today, and has found its way into every car and truck ever since. We’ve been asked to Shelby tune and modify customer cars for years. With the Shelby team always testing the latest performance innovations for Shelby American’s experimental cars, we decided it was time to extend the Shelby Performance magic to the public.”

Capable of upgrading the engine, suspension and body styling components of any street or track car, the new Speed Shop recently installed a state of the art chassis dyno.

“While we specialize in all American high performance cars, our experienced team can tune and work on just about everything,” noted Gary Davis, vice president of Shelby American. “In addition to dyno tuning, we can install headers, cams, heads, cold air intakes, superchargers and other performance upgrades on all of the brands. From Shelbys to Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, F150s and Challengers, we can custom build just about anything a customer can dream. We’ve even tuned sand buggies.”

According to the company, modifications made to any Shelby Cobra, GT500, Super Snake or Shelby GT will be included in the official Shelby Registry. Every vehicle will include documentation that the services were performed at the shop.
