1967
Shelby GT-500
Documented
Shelby
1967 was a big year for
Fords Mustang and in turn for the Shelby
line up. The first ever body change to the Mustang meant a more aggressive
appearance, the first real competition in the form of the Camaro and Firebird were
coming out and the larger front end could now accommodate a big block Ford
motor. Shelby
introduced the GT-500, a 428 equipped Mustang ready to take on the
competition. Over time, the Shelby GT-500 has become to many the epitome of
Mustang performance.
With assembly completed July 11, 19
67
at the Los Angeles Shelby plant, this beautiful GT-500 was soon shipped
off to its selling dealer where it quickly found a home. Equipped with the dual
quad 428 Police Interceptor engine and a 4 speed transmission, this red with
white stripe Shelby
has not only the look, but the performance to back it up. Equipped with
Mag-Star wheels, in-board mounted driving lights, it also has a fold down rear
seat, power steering and power brakes. This Shelby has been very well restored,
much time has been dedicated to the details, over the most recent years it has
been a part of a large collection, carefully housed in a fully climate
controlled environment. Of course this GT-500 is listed in the Shelby Registry,
comes with a Marti Report showcasing the way it was initially assembled. A
great look with a great car, this is a fantastic opportunity to obtain a well
restored example of a true highlight of Mustang performance and Shelby Heritage.
