This 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Looks Like It Was Built Yesterday

Chassis number 67400F4A01121 is one of 2,048 fastbacks produced for the 1967 model year, and when it was new, the muscled-up pony car used to feature a 355-horsepower engine. The 7.0-liter Police Interceptor V8, to be more precise, topped by two Holley carbs and a mid-rise intake.

Listed on Bring a Trailer, the engine in this slitherin’ serpent has been replaced under previous ownership with a similar mill to retain the original specifications at the expense of a numbers-matching powerplant. Currently sitting at $52,500 with six days of bidding left, the GT500 was reconditioned inside and out in 2013, one year before the seller acquired it.

Offered with a reproduction window sticker that reads $4,761.28, including options, or the equivalent to $35,445 accounting for inflation, the car was manufactured by the Blue Oval in February 1967 and Shelby improved it two months later. Optioned in white paintwork over black for the interior, the GT500 shows just 56,706 miles (91,260 kilometers) on the odo.

The Elite Marti Report included in the sale lists a few other goodies worthy of your attention, including the Extra Cooling Package, Courtesy Light Group, fold-down rear seat, power steering and front brakes, Interior Décor Group, and a heavy-duty battery. Delivered new to McAnary Ford in Indiana, the bite-the-back-of-your-hand beautiful blast from the past is offered with a clean title in the seller's name and a SAAC Shelby Registry Report.

At the present moment, the car is wearing Kelsey-Hayes Mag Star-style alloy wheels mounted with Goodyear Speedway 350 tires and Guardsman Blue stripes that replace the original stripes. The Shelby-specific roll bar is original according to the seller, but the factory stereo had to go in favor of a RetroSound head unit that combines modern features with a classy design.

Last but certainly not least, the Wimbledon White GT500 in the photo gallery flaunts a clean underbody with little in the way of superficial rust, a stainless-steel exhaust system, and good ol’ leaf springs for the rear suspension.
