Gene Simmons Unveils Shelby Powered 1956 Ford F100 for Charity at SEMA - Torque News
Amidst all of the customized production vehicles in the large Ford display at the 2013 SEMA Show in Las Vegas is the unique customized 1956 Ford F100 pickup shown above – which was unveiled by rock legend Gene Simmons and his lovely wife Shannon... This front end looks more like a the front end of a 2007 Shelby GT500 was molded onto the nose of a 1956 Ford F100 with a custom dual vented hood to add even more muscle car feel to this old school pickup. Inside, Snakebit features a custom leather interior with a classically styled bench seat with more custom work on the dash and door panels. Under the hood of the Snakebit 1956 Ford F100 pickup is a supercharged 5. 4L Ford Racing V8, similar to the one found in previous GT500 Mustangs with somewhere in the area of 550 horsepower being sent to the rear wheels via a proper 6-speed manual... Helping put all of that power to the road is a set of high performance tires wrapped around the custom classic styled 20 inch rear wheels while smaller 18 wheels up front work with the modern suspension system and a high performance braking system...
