1967 Shelby GT-500 For Sale - Very Nicely Restored And Fully
Documented Original Shelby LMC is very proud to offer for sale this
1967 Shelby GT500. The next generation Shelby Mustang was the
GT500, and it incorporated Ford's new big block power. �Upscale,
professional and well off, the buyers Shelby and Ford targeted
wanted performance at their disposal but also demanded their
performance cars be comfortable and reliable daily drivers. The
heart and soul of the car starts with the big block 428 cubic inch
V8 Police Interceptor. �This motor featured a 10:1 compression,
high lift cam and a pair of 600 cfm Holley four-barrels with
progressive linkage and vacuum secondaries on an aluminum medium
rise intake manifold. It was rated at a conservative 355
horsepower, but Shelby enthusiasts claim it actually pumped out
some 50hp more while generating 420 lb-ft of tire scorching torque.
For 1967, Shelby Mustangs got progressive rate springs that were
comfortable on the freeway but, stiffened as they were compressed
to give good handling. �The 1967 Shelby Mustangs came with the full
complement of scoops as well as unique fiberglass hood, nose and
rear deck. This Mustang on steroids filled the bill perfectly and
outsold the 1967 GT350 by nearly two to one. Over the course of the
year 2,048 were built, all in the fastback body style. In 1967,
there really was nothing that could surpass the Shelby GT500 as it
overpowered the competition on the track, back streets and
straightaways, and was just plain bad-to-the-bone giving free
attitude adjustments to anyone and everything that stood in its
way. This 1967 Shelby GT500 was originally delivered to Schanzmeyer
Ford in Jefferson City, Missouri on January 25th, 1967. Equipped
