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., 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.”
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
“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.”
