Vehicle Description
The 1969 Shelby GT500 Fastback Mustang featured here is presented
in its factory finish of Royal Maroon over a wonderfully preserved
white knit interior. This exceptional example was assembled in
January 1969 in Dearborn, Michigan, and sold new at Pletcher Ford
in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania to its first owner. It remained with
its first and only owner until Shelby expert Stephen Becker learned
of the car being offered for sale. Becker informed Carroll Shelby
personally of its availability and shortly after, the GT500 was
procured by Carroll Shelby for his personal collection. Carroll was
so enthralled with the GT500 that he personally adorned it with the
famous Terlingua Racing Team logo on the windshield, in reference
to the racing team that Shelby co-founded in 1965. Today this GT500
presents in highly original condition showing only 64,000 miles and
is still powered by its numbers matching 428ci "Cobra Jet" 335hp V8
engine. The Shelby is accompanied by an Elite Marti Report, Shelby
sales brochure, Shelby Vehicle Authenticity Certificate (confirming
Carroll Shelby's ownership) and more. A recent service has been
performed and this GT500 is sure to be a welcome addition to any
premier collection. We are extremely proud to offer this incredible
1969 Shelby GT500 Fastback to the most astute collector or investor
who appreciates the legendary Carroll Shelby and the legacy he left
on the performance world.
