1967 Shelby GT500 For Sale - Factory Dark Moss Green, Numbers
Matching Dual Quad 428ci LMC is very proud to offer for sale this
1967 Shelby GT500 The next generation Shelby Mustang was the GT500,
and it incorporated Ford's big block power from its inception.
Upscale, professional and well off, the buyers Shelby and Ford
targeted wanted performance at their disposal but also demanded
their performance cars be comfortable and reliable daily drivers.
For 1967 Shelby Mustangs got progressive rate springs that were
comfortable on the freeway but stiffened as they were compressed to
give good handling. This beautiful example was built on February 6
1967. It was sold new at Holiday Ford in Sunnyvale California and
would not travel far as its first owner was in the same town, Mr.
Howard Baruz. The heart and soul of the car starts with the big
block engine, a numbers-matching 428 cubic inch V8 police
interceptor. The engine features a 10:1 compression, high lift cam
and a pair of 600cfm Holley four-barrels with progressive linkage
and vacuum secondaries on an aluminum medium rise intake manifold.
It was rated at a conservative 355 horsepower but Shelby
enthusiasts claim it actually pumped out some 50hp more while
generating 420 lb-ft of tire scorching torque. This Shelby has its
numbers matching 4 speed manual transmission, original wood wheel,
and original under-dash gauge pod. Power front disc, rear drum
brakes and power steering were mandatory options, along with roll
bar mounted inertia reel shoulder harnesses and fold down rear
seats. The car's exterior looks as good as it performs; first
impression leaves the viewer thoroughly impressed. This Shelby
GT500 has been finished in the factory-correct Dark Moss Green
paint with twin white stripes running the entire length of the car.
The beautiful original body still looks as good as when it left the
factory and still retains its original fiberglass hood, nose and
rear deck. The optional "Mag Star" wheels and the Goodyear Speedway
tires equipped on this Shelby are in like-new condition. Clearly
this GT500 has been extremely well cared for over its life. Pull
the hood pins and underneath is a detailed engine bay. The chrome
bumpers look brand new as well as the chrome mirrors on the side,
the doors close with solidity giving the overall impression of
quality. Taking a look underneath shows once again the meticulous
care taken, the unrestored undercarriage is textbook and still has
the original factory-applied primer & overspray. If all of that
wasn't enough this Shelby is located on page 956 & 1148 in the
Shelby American Registry and complete with Marti Report. In 1967
there really was nothing that could surpass the Shelby GT500, it
overpowered the competition on the track, back streets and
straight-aways, and was just plain bad-to-the-bone giving free
attitude adjustments to anyone and everything that stood in its
way. Additional Details: 1967 SHELBY GT500 -
