Vehicle Description
1967 Shelby GT500 For Sale-Factory Nightmist Blue 4 Speed,Complete
Rotisserie Restoration,Documented LMC is very proud to offer for
sale this 1967 Shelby GT500 As the muscle era was heating up,
Chevrolet released the all new Camaro, which called for an upgrade
to the Mustang to compete. As with before, Carroll Shelby was
called upon to boost the Mustang's performance reputation. The
slightly larger 1967 Mustang was the perfect platform to introduce
big-block power, so the 428 CI Police Interceptor engine found its
own home in the GT500. Rated at 355 HP, the Police Interceptor had
the same performance camshaft that would later be used in the famed
428 Cobra Jet engine, and it employed dual inline Holley 600 CFM
4-barrel carburetors with progressive linkage and vacuum-actuated
secondaries on an aluminum intake manifold. To some it's the
ultimate muscle car/grand tourer, and others love it for being the
first Mustang to be powered by the 428, while many others just love
it for the beautiful, powerful styling and legendary name
associated with it. Whether a collector or enthusiast, and whatever
the reasoning, there is no denying that they are one of the most
iconic muscle cars of all time. As per the Shelby registry, this
example was shipped new to Republic Ford Inc. in Houston, Texas,
and sold on September 5, 1967 to its original owner J.A. Campbell.
Mr. Campbell ordered his new GT500 in Nightmist Blue paint with a
black decor interior, which remains one of the most sought-after
and highly coveted color combinations. It was equipped from the
factory with a 4-speed manual transmission, power steering and
front disc brakes, Shelby 10-spoke aluminum wheels, the Interior
Decor group, a fold-down rear seat and the Extra Cooling package.
Recently, this Shelby received a comprehensive rotisserie
restoration and was painted in its factory-ordered correct
Nightmist Blue exterior. The black knitted Decor interior matches
the rest of this car for its impressive presentation, incorporating
the wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel, roll bar with inertia
reel harnesses, below-dash Stewart Warner oil and ammeter gauges,
and 8,000 RPM tachometer that were all part of the Shelby GT
treatment. Underneath, the Shelby is finished as it left the
factory with red oxide primer floor pans with body-color overspray,
correct paint daubs and inspection markings. Under the hood lies
the 428 CI Police Interceptor engine, which has been rebuilt to
stock specifications and is in excellent working order. Finishing
the look of the engine is a litany of correct markings and
stickers. This Shelby GT500 is of course listed in the Shelby
Registry and comes with documentation from Marti Auto Works, Shelby
American Invoices, 1967 Sales Brochure, Ford High-Performance
Brochure, 1967 Shelby Accessory List, Owners Manual, and of course
listed and documented in the Shelby American Registry. The body and
paint shows spectacularly well and it is ready to be shown or
enjoyed as part of a collection. Beautiful, detailed restoration,
documented and well-equipped are all the elements that make this an
extremely desirable collector car. Add to this the history of being
an original Shelby GT500 and you have one of the most desirable and
sought-after muscle cars of all time. Additional Details: 1967
