This custom 1967 Ford Mustang fastback was restored with many
modern features, without sacrificing the styling of an original
1967 Shelby GT500. As the original VIN number and Marti Auto Works
Deluxe Mart Report indicate, this example was built as an authentic
1967 Mustang fastback on February 27, 1967, in San Jose,
California. It was the product of a show-quality restoration, which
is documented with receipts that are included. The straight body
was professionally decorated with Shelby-style appointments. It was
refinished in the iconic Shelby colors of Wimbledon White with blue
stripes and outfitted with an NOS Shelby gas cap and NOS 1968
Shelby taillights. It rolls on custom 18-inch Forgeline Motorsports
HL3-X wheels that resemble the original GT40-style wheels. The
three-piece forged wheels are mounted to new Firestone Firehawk
Indy 500V2 tires. The exterior is complemented by a new two-tone
blue interior upholstered by Seamless Custom in Leicester,
Massachusetts. The Shelby Cobra-embossed bucket seats have custom
brackets to accommodate larger occupants. Some of the interior
features including Dynamat insulation, Tony Branda GT500-style roll
bar with shoulder belts, blue LED lighting, billet door sills and
strikers, Dakota Digital HDX gauges, Ididit tilt steering column,
three-spoke wood steering wheel, Vintage Air climate control, power
window utilizing OEM cranks, Hurst shifter with leather boot,
Mercedes-Benz carpeting and two sets of molded floor mats. The
sound system consists of a Pioneer stereo with Bluetooth and Hertz
speakers throughout. The carpeted trunk compartment is home to the
new Optima Red Top battery. The Shelby-style louvered hood and rear
decklid pivot on Ringbrothers billet aluminum hinges. It's also
equipped with custom billet strut tower braces. The car is powered
by a fuel-injected Carroll Shelby Engine Company Aluminum 427 FE
511ci (650hp) V-8 engine. The engine was set up with a March
Performance Pro-Track serpentine system, Mechman billet 200-amp
alternator, polished air-conditioning compressor and billet power
steering pump. The engine is cooled by a Griffin aluminum radiator
with dual SPAL electric fans. The engine breathes through JBL
long-tube headers and stainless exhaust system with Dynomax
mufflers. The engine is coupled to a Tremec TKX five-speed manual
transmission, along with a MDL billet flywheel, Quick-Time
bellhousing, MDL hydraulic clutch master and McLeod twin-disc
clutch. The power is transferred to the Currie Enterprises 9-inch
rear end housing with Detroit Truetrac limited-slip differential,
as well as Strange gears and aluminum support. It has a Rick's
stainless-steel 20-gallon fuel tank. The TCP chassis G-connector
system, Ultimate Pro Touring front suspension and G-link rear
suspension with adjustable coilovers provide excellent handling.
The power electric Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes with drilled and
slotted rotors provide excellent stopping power. This vehicle has
been completely serviced and detailed, which is documented with an
invoice. From the MS CLASSIC CARS Collection.
