Vehicle Description
1967 Shelby GT500 For Sale - Factory Nightmist Blue, Parchment, One
Of 14 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 early example was built on 3/1/1967and
shipped new to the Shelby authorized dealer Robert J. Poechel, Inc
in Oxnard, California. Ordered in the iconic Nightmist Blue paint
with a Parchment decor interior, which remains one of the most
sought-after color combinations with only 14 examples with an
automatic transmission. As per the Marti report, It was equipped
from the factory with a power steering and front disc brakes,
Magstar aluminum wheels, exhaust emission control system, closed
crankcase and push button radio.Throughout its lifetime, this
example has been extremely well kept and remains in highly original
condition having never been completely restored. Underneath this
Shelby remains highly original including its original red oxide
primer showing on the undercarriage. This Shelby GT500 is of course
listed in the Shelby Registry and comes with documentation from
Marti Auto Works, Shelby American Invoices, Shelby Research Group
and more. Well 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.
