BJ Motors is super excited to offer this 1967 Ford Shelby GT500 2-Door Fast Back. This GT500 is 1 out of 510 in this color and 1 of 2,048 examples produced in 1967. The Night Mist Blue with White Stripes color combination perfectly encapsulates why the GT500's iconic design is a pinnacle of others like it in the classic car community. The car can be found on the Shelby Registry and comes with a Marti Report.
Ford and Carroll Shelby already had a hit on their hands with the track-oriented GT350, and in 1967 they introduced a big-block variant of their potent Mustang collaboration on the GT500.That same year, production of the specialty Mustangs moved from Shelby American's California facility to Ionia, Michigan, where Ford could exercise more control, and where the cars would be built alongside "regular" Mustangs. Shelby thus had little to do with the development and production of the GT500.
No matter, because despite comfort and convenience amenities Ford deemed necessary, the cars were serious performers. Powering the GT500 was a 428-cid "Police Interceptor" V-8. The engine appeared in other, larger Fords of the day, but with twin Holley four-barrel carburetors, it produced 360 hp. The fastback coupes were available with either four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmissions.
Outside, the GT500 featured a fiberglass nose and tail section, functional hood scoops, and four side air scoops. Inside, the GT500 featured trim borrowed from the Mustang GT, and included amenities like air conditioning, power steering, and a functional rear seat. Buyers responded, and the GT500 far outsold its small-block GT350 sibling.
