released in June of 67, this GT500 was delivered in Nightmist Blue
with a deluxe black interior and featured both Lemans and rocker
striping and Kelsey Hayes Mag-Star wheels. The car was sold through
Bill Davis Ford in Ohio to a buyer in Arizona where the car spent
most of its life. The car sat dormant for some time, and was later
restored by Surefire Restorations in Texas and is thoroughly
documented with photographs. Refinished in its original livery, the
condition of this car is simply top notch. Panel gaps are correct
and the doors close easily with a satisfying click. The chassis and
underside of the car are finished to concours standards, clearly
showing the level of workmanship that went into the restoration.
Upon entering the cockpit its easy to see the upgrades that these
cars received at Shelby, including the aluminum paneling across the
dash and door panels, the Stewart Warner gauges under the dash, the
roll bar and inertia shoulder restraints. The black bucket seats
are in beautiful condition along with the dash, carpeting, and fold
down rear seat. Other equipment includes an AM radio, courtesy
lighting, air conditioning, tinted windows, trip odometer and
tachometer. The highly detailed engine compartment reveals the
potent 428 cid, Police Interceptor engine adorned with the correct
Cobra finned air cleaner and valve covers. With 10:1 compression
and dual 600 Holleys, the Shelby massaged 428 engine is rated at
355 horsepower and 420 pounds of torque but was known to be well
underrated. The 428 is backed by a 4 speed transmission and
features power steering and power disc front brakes. This car is
verified by the Marti Report to be 1 of 43 cars built in this color
combination, making it one of the more rare cars available. Dont
