LAS VEGAS – May 21, 2026 – A limited “Championship Edition” Shelby F-150 Off-Road truck will be available from Shelby American, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc. (CSBI:PK), in celebration of the company’s trio of racing victories in 1966. Built by Shelby Performance in Bristol, Indiana, only 54 of the trucks will be manufactured, with new paint schemes that honor the 60th anniversary of Shelby wins at Sebring, Daytona and Le Mans. Each will feature 810+ horsepower, advanced offroad suspension, anniversary badges and other options. The limited number of Championship Edition trucks are available through a nationwide network of dealers.

“The Championship Edition Ford Shelby F-150 Off-Road truck was designed for winners,” said Joe Conway, CEO of Shelby American. “Together, Ford Motor Company and Shelby beat the world’s best on the biggest international stage during 1966, changing the course of motorsports and the American automobile industry. It was seen as a win for the American working man over European bluebloods. That legacy is worthy of this exceptional truck featuring another first for Shelby.”

Recently announced, the Shelby F-150 gives the world-class Ford truck amazing additional capabilities. The 4-wheel drive Shelby F-150 boasts an 810+ HP 5.0-liter V8 with a robust 10-speed automatic transmission. Power is transferred through a proprietary premium full suspension lift system featuring King suspension. The Shelby’s BFG’s 35-inch KO3 BFG tires ride on 22-inch alloy wheels. Massive Baer drilled and slotted brake rotors stop the truck.

“The Shelby F-150 Off-Road truck is extremely capable, both on and off the road,” said Vince LaViolette, Shelby American Vice President of Operations. “It’s been proven and improved through many hours and test miles across various terrain. And as a racer, I’m proud that we’re honoring some of my personal heroes who won the triple crown of endurance racing in 1966.”

The Shelby American team dominated the 1966 endurance racing season, competing with the Ford GT40. Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby won the races at Sebring and Daytona; the FIA declared the Chris Amon/Bruce McLaren driven Shelby American GT40 the victor at Le Mans while they relegated Ken Miles and co-driver Denny Hulme to second place; GT40s swept Ferrari off the podium that year.

The 54 total number of Shelby F-150 Off-Road pickups for the 2026 model year will be repainted, striped and badged in three versions (18 each) to honor the Shelby American race team’s wins at Sebring, Daytona, and Le Mans during the 1966 Championship run. Each will receive a “Championship Edition” side stripe and bear one of three Championship Edition liveries:

Pearl Orange in honor of the Daytona victory
Pearl Green to commemorate the Sebring overall win
Pearl Blue in honor of the 24 hours of Le Mans win

The trucks have a carbon fiber intake tube feeding a Shelby engineered stage 2 supercharger that was powder coated to match the exclusive exterior color. Other elements include unique exterior and interior badges, special upholstery stitching to match the exterior paint and a unique Shelby serial number that will be listed in the official Shelby Registry.

“This is the first time that a Shelby truck has been offered to the public with a completely repainted exterior, making it an instant collectible,” said Brock Patterson, Shelby Performance Director of Sales and Marketing. “Each of the 54 total Championship Edition Shelby F-150 Off-Road trucks will be refinished at our facility then delivered to its lucky owner through an authorized Shelby dealer. The trucks will include a special serial number, membership in the Team Shelby community and a certificate confirming its exclusive status. This will be a very small and special ownership club.”

The Championship Edition Shelby F-150 Off-Road truck also features an aluminum functional intake ram air hood, DOT compliant grille and fenders, power deployable running boards and rock guards. Custom touches include body color smooth fender flares, painted front bumper cover, painted replacement grille, painted front fender vents and tonneau cover, as well as full body stripes.

The Shelby F-150 Off-Road has exclusive full leather seat covers, digital gauges, custom carbon fiber accents, embroidered floor mats and billet racing pedals. Each comes with special badges and a CSM serialized plate inside.
