Soon after the Ford Mustang debuted at the April 1964 New York World’s Fair and immediately became the subject of the world’s most successful new-car introduction, famed racer Carroll Shelby developed Ford’s new pony into the GT350 that immediately humbled the competition—especially Corvettes—across America and went on to score three straight SCCA B-Production championships from 1965 through 1967. Based on the updated Mustang for ’67 that was now capable of accepting Ford’s powerful big-block V-8 engines, Shelby American’s new 428 Police Interceptor-powered GT500 was conservatively rated at 355 HP; actual output was closer to 400 ponies with 420 lb-ft of pavement-scorching torque. Praised by Car and Driver magazine for “… doing with ease what the old 350 took brute force to accomplish,” the GT500 added a decided grand-touring persona to Shelby’s rampant Mustang-based stallions. Shelby’s 1967 cars also represented the end of an era as the last built before production was transferred from Shelby American to Ionia, Michigan, under direct Ford Motor Company control for 1968 through 1969. Just 2,048 examples of these potent and highly sophisticated performers were built in all for 1967. When new, the GT500 was the car of choice for many entertainment icons including Jim Morrison, lyricist and vocalist for The Doors, whose ’67 GT500 was used in the band’s “Hwy” music video. Carrying Shelby No. 01722, this rare factory Brittany Blue GT500 was shipped new to El Paso Auto Center, Inc., in El Paso, Texas. Sporting an extensive and recently completed restoration, it is a thrilling collector find with power delivery via the original, matching-numbers, dual-quad 428 CI Police Interceptor V-8 engine paired with the original, matching- numbers 4-speed manual transmission. Other desirable features, options and amenities include the Extra Cooling package plus power steering, power brakes with front discs, the Courtesy Light Group, a fold-down rear seat, the Interior Decor Group, a wood-rimmed steering wheel and twin inboard fog lamps. Riding on handsome Shelby 10-spoke wheels mounting Goodyear tires, this first-year GT500 comes with copies of Shelby Historical paperwork and a Deluxe Marti Report confirming its factory data, features and options.
