Since late May, Shelby American has been designing and building a new Motorsports Speed Shop. The facility is now open and will focus on performance improvement for American muscle cars. Located near the main Shelby headquarters in north Las Vegas, NV, the Speed Shop was designed to provide engine, chassis and body modifications.

“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. “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.”

The shop has installed a state-of-the-art chassis dyno to document performance improvements on customer vehicles. The door is left open to more than just muscle cars, as well.

“While we specialize in all American high performance cars, our experienced team can tune and work on just about everything,” explained Gary Davis, vice president of Shelby American. “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.”

All customers will receive documentation that the requested work was performed at the Shelby American Motorsports Speed Shop. Mods to Shelby cars, including the Shelby GT, GT500, Super Snake and Shelby Cobra, will be recorded in the official Shelby Registry.
