Vehicle Description
Few cars get collectors as excited as Shelby Mustangs, and this
1967 Shelby GT350 has an impressive resume, particularly the fact
that it is car #4 off the assembly line in 1967. Nicely documented
and offered in its original color combination, it also includes a
vintage Paxton/Shelby supercharger that was installed a few years
ago and totally transforms this small block GT.
According to the Marti Report, this car has been restored to
factory specs, making it one of only 527 Shelby GT350s painted code
5 Dark Moss Green in 1967. The restoration was finished a few years
ago, but it adhered to the standards you'd expect on a car with
this one's credentials. Fit and finish are beyond what Shelby
managed in 1967, with modern two-stage urethane that offers a
bright shine that Shelby's guys could have never imagined back in
the '60s. The fiberglass hood and deck lid fit superbly, the
stripes are straight enough to have been laid down with a laser,
and the early production details like the center-mounted driving
lights, marker lights on the sail panels, and the sequential
taillights are all fantastic extras that make this particular GT350
stand out in a crowd. Bright chrome bumpers, correct GT350 badges
and stripes on the rockers, and all the other pieces that make a
Shelby so special are all in excellent condition. It's
driver-grade, but oh, what a driver!
Shelby stuck to the performance aspect of the car, but the Mustang
interior was already a great place to do some serious driving.
Restored with new seat covers, fresh carpets, and door panels that
haven't had an elbow rested on them yet are all parts of a
high-quality passenger compartment. A woodgrained steering wheel
adds the European flair that Shelby was aiming for, along with a
pair of Stewart Warner auxiliary gauges under the dash in the
center and a pair of dials to monitor the Paxton on the left. It
also received a roll bar and shoulder harnesses from Shelby, so
it's ready to rock on the street or track, and the fold-down rear
seat was a favorite among racers, allowing them to stash their
slicks in the spacious cargo bay. Today, it's covered with a
correct mat and full-sized spare tire on a matching 5-spoke wheel,
which is a very rare Deluxe wheel that the documentation proves is
original equipment on this car.
While it's impossible to say an early Mustang is "numbers-matching"
this Shelby has all the right date codes to virtually guarantee
that it has its original engine. It's a familiar Shelby
306-horsepower 289 cubic inch V8, so it's already a potent piece,
but the period-correct Paxton supercharger takes it to an entirely
different level. In many cases, these blowers were
dealer-installed, although this one was installed by the previous
owner who got the details right. It also packs a 4-speed manual
transmission and heavy-duty 9-inch rear end, so you won't have to
worry about the extra horsepower doing any damage. The
undercarriage is very clean but not detailed for show, because this
Shelby was built to drive, but you do get fat sway bars, a rumbling
dual exhaust, Koni red shocks, and the aforementioned 5-spoke
Deluxe wheels with 225/60/15 front and 235/60/15 rear BFGoodrich
T/A radials.
Documented with order forms, invoices, window stickers, and a Marti
Report, plus the confidence that comes from the Shelby Registry's
records, this is a blue-chip Shelby that's also a total blast to
drive. Call today for all the amazing details!
