Vehicle Description
Did you know that the most expensive Mustang ever sold at auction was a 1967 GT500? Well, here’s some more news. The second most expensive Mustang was a 1967 GT500. Both fetched more than one million dollars each at auction.
In fact, these particular cars rolled off the production line the same year as the factory original/restored 1967 Shelby GT500 with VIN 7R02Q202080 presented by BlueChip Motorcars (bluechipmotorcars.com). If that weren’t enough, this Shelby GT500 shows 19,000 original miles on the odometer.
Once owned by former pro-wrestler turned network TV host, Bill Goldberg, and Steve Davis of Barrett-Jackson Auctions, the Dark Moss Green 1967 Shelby GT500 features many factory options, but its most important original component is what’s rumbling under the hood, the limited-edition 428 Interceptor that shook the doors of its competition when it was introduced back in the late Sixties. That equates to 7,051cc’s of thunder waiting to be unleashed.
With its well-documented history and celebrated background, the car sports a C-6 Cruise-O-Matic, front hydraulic brakes, the trademarked functional lower rear brake scoops, LeMans striping, the notorious Traction-Lok rear-end, factory A/C, 15×7 spoke wheels, independent front suspension, Hotchkiss rear suspension (live axle, multi-leaf, semi-elliptical springs, tube shocks).
Other notables include power brakes, power steering, aircraft type front seat shoulder harness, fold-down rear seating, extra cooling fan package, courtesy light group and tinted glass.
According to the Shelby Registry Report, this GT500 was manufactured on 7/24/1967 and the original dealer was Marv Tonkin Ford Sales. The car was Dark Green Moss with black interior as it sits today. When built it featured 15-inch 10-spoke wheels and an un-louvered hood.
If there ever was a time to revisit the investment potential of one of the last surviving Shelby GT500s it is now, while the market is making a strong comeback. Yes, it’s undercarriage is just as nice! (See images)
