A rare find on Australian roads, this genuine Shelby GT500 is one of the most sought-after classic American muscle cars. Under the bonnet is the Ford 428 (7.0-litre) V8 producing up to 355bhp and 420lb-ft of torque, with power sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. First registered in 1967, this GT500 was built by Shelby American Inc. in Los Angeles, California as one of just 2,048 examples produced, and has been well maintained by its current owner for the past 13 years. Highly regarded by collectors, 1967 was the last year the Shelby Mustang was produced at the Shelby American facility in California, and it was at the time the most powerful Mustang ever built. The bodywork is finished in a striking Red and White colour scheme, over a classic Black vinyl interior, and features a wooden rim steering wheel. To reduce weight and create more aggressive lines, a number of the body parts of the GT500 were made of fiberglass including the front panel, hood, rear taillight panel, deck lid, quarter panel extension, and side scoops. Power is courtesy of a Ford FE 428 (7.0-litre) Police-Interceptor V8 engine topped with an aluminium mid-rise intake and twin four-barrel Holley carburettors. The vehicle is supplied with its Shelby user manual and vehicle history since 2008. There is no known body damage. The Red and White paint remains in good condition, having been resprayed by a previous owner. There is some minor wear, commensurate with the age of the vehicle, and a number of small chips on the boot and hood scoop. Inside, the Black interior is in very good condition with the seats showing no significant marks or blemishes. The door cards, dash and roof lining are all in very good condition, with just some scratching on the aluminium and hard plastic trim, and the carpet is slightly worn. There are no known mechanical faults, though the owner reports the heater, radio and oil pressure gauges are fitted but not connected. The most recent roadworthy inspection was performed in 2008 so that the vehicle could be placed on club registration, and no warnings or advisories were issued. The most recent service was performed in November 2021, by Bill Lee Automotive, with a full 5,000km interval service being performed. Prior to this, routine servicing was performed in 2020 and 2019, and the power steering ram was repaired. During the current owner’s time with the vehicle, the diff centre, starter motor, and battery have all been replaced. This 1967 Shelby GT500 is rare and iconic American muscle car, with just 2,048 examples originally built. One of the most recognisable vehicles in the automotive world, its handsome styling, legendary nameplate, and factory ‘hot rod’ performance have ensured it generates new fans across every generation. In very good condition throughout and benefitting from 13 years of diligent care by its current owner, this example presents as an unmissable opportunity for serious collectors.
