Some Interesting Facts
- 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.
