1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 Fastback

Offered with just 46,821 miles shown at the time of writing, this documented factory twin-carbureted 1967 Shelby GT500 is an awesome, very well-presented high-specification example that was assembled in California and shipped new to Alabama. Featuring factory-specified Lime Gold paint and highly equipped with options, this Shelby-built GT500 is documented with a Deluxe Marti Report and stands ready to be shown and enjoyed with pride as originally intended.

Finished in eye-catching Lime Gold paint, accented by Shelby lower-rocker stripes and iconic Shelby Le Mans stripes, this GT500 features the unique Shelby American frontal treatment including twin close-coupled driving lamps, a lightweight fiberglass hood incorporating Shelby’s unique, functional hood-scoop treatment, rear air scoops, the uniquely faired-in Shelby rear-deck spoiler, and Shelby 10-spoke wheels mounting period style Goodyear tires.

As listed on the accompanying Deluxe Marti Report detailing factory production data with standard and optional features, this 1967 Shelby GT500 features the high-end optional Décor Group interior, as originally specified. Other interior highlights include shoulder harnesses, roll-cage, the Courtesy Light Group, and versatile fold-down Sport Deck rear seat. Additional features include power brakes with discs up front and a floor-shifter for the C-6 automatic transmission, plus a tachometer and ammeter. Another rare and interesting feature is the pushbutton-operated factory radio and 8-Track tape player.

Equipped with dual Holey 4-barrel carburetors as originally fitted, this 1967 Shelby GT500 delivers a wallop with each tap of the throttle – one well beyond that delivered by the basic, single 4-barrel Police Interceptor 428 usually employed by the GT500 in ‘67. The Extra Cooling package maximized reliability under demanding conditions and power steering ensured a pleasant drive, heightened by the competent stopping power afforded by the Shelby’s power-assisted front disc/rear drum brakes. The Shelby’s engine and surrounding engine compartment are clean, attractively presented, and presented in factory-correct form, with proper parts, components, and finishes present. The underbody, chassis, and suspension components are presented in similarly fine and attractive order, in unmodified and well maintained OEM-type form.

According to the Deluxe Marti Report included with this stellar GT500, it was built at Ford Motor Company’s San Jose, California Assembly plant 13-days behind schedule on January 4, 1967 and released that day for shipment to Woody Anderson Ford in Huntsville, Alabama. A “no A/C, no Thermactor” car with unencumbered performance, this factory twin-carbureted GT500 was built to run – hard.

Offered from the consignor in the Beverly Hills area, this 1967 GT500 is a wonderful and exceptionally authentic example of the last Los Angeles-built Shelby GTs produced for 1967. They are brutal, explosive performers when the loud pedal is depressed, especially with the optionally available “dual quad” intake system. An unqualified high-performance icon with documented original options and unmistakable looks, this 1967 Shelby GT500 is an investment-grade example throughout.
