For the
1967 model year, Ford did its first major restyling of the wildly popular
Mustang. This also meant that the very successful Shelby models would also get an upgrade.
The cars gained a little size and weight, but also a much more aggressive
appearance, once Shelby America got its hands on it, the resulting car featured
impressive performance and racing pedigree that pushed the Shelby GT-350 name
further into the Mustang history books.
This
absolutely stunning 1967 Shelby GT-350 was initially built 06/15/1967, shipped the very next day to
McCarthy Ford in Pleasantville New Jersey. Nicely equipped with all the Shelby GT-350 modifications,
it also came with many factory options such as the extra cooling package, fold
down rear seat, power steering, power front disc brakes, tach and much more. Over
the next 35 years, the car would be kept and maintained, being treated custom
paint before being semi retired to a barn in New Jersey. In 2005, the car was located while
being offered for sale at a swap meet. After a laborious 5 hour job simply to remove
the car from the barn it called home for many years, the complete car including
K-code Hi-Po 289 and 4 speed transmission was taken to Legendary Motorcar where
a complete ground up no expense spared restoration was performed. Over the
course of many months, the car was restored back to its original glory, all
options and features were restored correctly, as well as the addition of a
Shelby/Paxton Supercharger to give the GT-350 a little more get up and go. With
thousands of hours put towards the restoration, the end result speaks for
itself. This car shows absolutely beautifully from top to bottom and comes
complete with a photo diary of the restoration, photos of the car “as
discovered”, and photos of the first restoration/repaint, complete Marti
Report, all in addition to being documented in the Shelby registry. This car
represents an incredible opportunity for the collector or Shelby enthusiast to
obtain a show quality 1967 GT-350, one that would get the attention of the most
scrupulous Shelby aficionado.
