This 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 is one of 2,048 fastback examples produced for the model year and was built on May 19, 1967 before being sold new by McFaydens Co. in Omaha, Nebraska. The car was traded in six months later and purchased in February 1968 by its second owner, with whom it spent 51 years and 118k miles in California and Colorado until 2019. Power is from a 428ci Police Interceptor V8 that was rebuilt in 1974 at 68k miles and is paired with a numbers-matching four-speed manual transmission and a 3.25:1 rear end. The car retains its original color combination of Lime Gold over a Deluxe interior with black vinyl upholstery. Additional factory equipment includes power-assisted steering and front disc brakes, the Extra Cooling Package, a fold-down rear seat, and an AM radio. This GT500 was acquired by the selling dealer from its third owner in 2020 and is offered in Kansas with service records from throughout the car's life dating back to 1972, manuals, a window sticker, a reproduction Special Vehicle Order, Marti and SAAC Registry reports, and a clean Colorado title.

The 428ci Police Interceptor V8 featured hydraulic lifters and twin four-barrel Holley carburetors for factory-rated output of 355 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. The engine was rebuilt in 1974 at 68k miles, and an invoice for the work lists a cylinder head overhaul in addition to replacement of internal components. A new rear main seal was fitted and repairs to the exhaust system carried out in December 2020.

I started reading the posts from newest first and realized by the posts it had to be Vern then I came to the one that he said who he was. Vern has owned a lot of really great cars in a short period of time. This car should do much better than the one that ended yesterday. The gears? not well versed on 67s as to that. It appears to be a 4.11 locking axle according to the I on the Marti report axle designation?

Rear end tag on car says 3 50(pic 492). Don't understand the door data code. Gary

Hey Guys!

I greatly appreciate the kind words and I am looking forward to the next 8 days of interacting with commentor on BaT.

The car is really a fantastic, original example. No car is perfect and that certainly goes for this one as well....but I think anyone would be hard pressed to find a more original 67 GT500 anywhere on the market.

Ill be starting another thread by the end of the day today with a detailed description of the car for forum members to read and post on.

Kind regards,
Vern

There are some really good detailing pics.

Sounds pretty good when you run it but I wonder if it starts right up like that hot in those 100 degree summer days?

Ah c'mon Doug of course it starts right up, first turn, any weather, any time. What, your old cars don't? These 67 500s are really great in terms of carb setup, don't ya know??
