Vehicle Description
1967 Shelby GT500 For Sale - SAAC Concours Gold, Early Example,
Stunning Rotisserie Restoration 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
very early example was built on 12/66/1966 and shipped new to
Brondes Motor Sales in Toledo, Ohio. Ordered in the iconic Dark
Moss Green paint with a black decor interior, which remains one of
the most sought-after and highly coveted color combinations. As per
the Marti report, It was equipped from the factory with a 4-speed
manual transmission, power steering and front disc brakes, Magstar
aluminum wheels, the Interior Decor group, a sport deck rear seat,
courtesy light group and the extra cooling package. What separates
this particular Shelby from others, is this example received a SAAC
Gold Concours award based on its extremely high standard of
restoration. The Dark Moss Green paint has been wet sanded and
polished to a show quality standard. 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, Owner's manual, 1967
Shelby Accessory List and more. 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
