Vehicle Description
1967 Shelby GT500 For Sale - Ultra-Desirable Wimbledon White,
Factory 4spd, Very Early Example 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 on 1/4/67 to Hemphill-McCombs Ford in San
Antonio, Texas ordered new GT500 in Wimbledon White 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, the Interior Decor group, a fold-down rear seat
and the Extra Cooling package. This Shelby GT500 has been restored
in its factory-delivered Wimbledon White and looks incredible! 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. Under the hood lies
the 428 CI Police Interceptor engine with dual-four barrel
carburetors, which has been rebuilt to stock specifications and is
in excellent working order. Finishing the look of the engine is a
litany of correct inspection markings and stickers. This Shelby
GT500 is of course listed in the Shelby Registry and comes with
documentation from Marti Auto Works. The body and paint shows
spectacularly well and it is ready to be shown or enjoyed as part
of a collection. 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
