Ford and Carroll Shelby already had a hit on their hands with the
track-oriented GT350, and in 1967 they introduced a big-block
variant of their potent Mustang collaboration-the GT500.
That same year, production of the specialty Mustangs moved from
Shelby American's California facility to Ionia, Michigan, where
Ford could exercise more control, and where the cars would be built
alongside "regular" Mustangs. Shelby thus had little to do with the
development and production of the GT500.
No matter, because despite comfort and convenience amenities Ford
deemed necessary, the cars were serious performers. Powering the
GT500 was a 428-cid "Police Interceptor" V-8. The engine appeared
in other, larger Fords of the day, but with twin Holley four-barrel
carburetors, it produced 360 hp. The fastback coupes were available
with either four-speed manual or three-speed automatic
transmissions.
Outside, the GT500 featured a fiberglass nose and tail section,
functional hood scoops, and four side air scoops.
