Some Interesting Facts

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Fastback Price Specifications

First GT500 in History The 1967 Shelby GT500 marked the debut of the GT500 name, elevating the Shelby Mustang lineup to a more powerful, big-block performance tier above the GT350.

Powered by a 428 Police Interceptor V8 Under the hood was a 428 cubic inch (7.0L) Police Interceptor V8, officially rated at 355 hp, but actual output was estimated closer to 400+ hp, making it a street beast.

Dual 4-Barrel Carburetors The GT500 was equipped with dual Holley 4-barrel carburetors, mounted on an aluminum intake manifold, contributing to its impressive torque and throttle response.

More Refined Than Earlier Shelbys While earlier GT350s were raw and race-inspired, the '67 GT500 introduced a more comfortable and stylish interior, making it more suitable for everyday driving without sacrificing muscle.

Unique Shelby Styling Cues The 1967 GT500 featured a longer fiberglass nose, aggressive grille with center-mounted lights, rear spoiler, side scoops, and functional hood vents, setting it apart from standard Mustangs.

Only 2,048 Units Produced Shelby produced just 2,048 GT500 fastbacks in 1967, making it rare and highly collectible, especially original, matching-numbers examples.

Carroll Shelby's First Big-Block Mustang This was the first time Carroll Shelby put a big-block engine into a Mustang, transitioning the Shelby line from track-focused machines to full-on street performance legends.

Featured in Pop Culture and Cinema The 1967 GT500 inspired the “Eleanor” Mustang in the film Gone in 60 Seconds (2000), though that version was a modified creation — the real GT500 still gained immense fame from it.

Ford Took Over Shelby Production in 1967 1967 marked the year when Shelby Mustang production shifted from Shelby American in California to Ford’s facility in Michigan, beginning a new era of factory-built Shelbys.

Now a Multi-Million-Dollar Collectible Due to its limited production, classic styling, Shelby heritage, and performance, original 1967 GT500s now fetch six-figure (and sometimes seven-figure) prices at auctions.
