For Sale at Auction: 1969 Shelby GT500 in Scottsdale, Arizona

This 1969 Shelby GT500 fastback, Serial No. 0885, is a heavily documented survivor car retaining its original matching-numbers drivetrain. It is one of 1,157 built for the model year. Under the hood, this GT500 retains its original 428 Cobra Jet V8 engine. The cylinder heads, intake manifold, carburetor, Ram Air cleaner, smog system, distributor and exhaust manifolds are believed to be factory-installed components.

The undercarriage remains unrestored and authentic, with factory finishes intact. This rust-free, Colorado-based GT500 presents largely original paint with gold GT500 side stripes, believed to be mostly original paint, with excellent body panel fitment and gap alignment. All Carlite-stamped glass is original, and the interior is also original and well-preserved, including the bucket seats, door panels, dash, carpet and trim. The trunk compartment remains unrestored with its original mat, spare tire and tools. Built on February 7, 1969, this GT500 was ordered with a Candy Apple Red exterior and black Clarion knit/Corinthian vinyl high-back bucket seats.
