Beautifully Restored LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1967
Shelby GT 500. 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

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

freeway but, stiffened as they were compressed to give good
handling. The 1967 Shelby Mustangs came with the full complement of
