Why do I see a lot of 67 GT500's for sale but not 67 GT350's

Fewer cars and more fun to drive.

I agree Homie

[Bigfoot]

Wurd!

Fastback66- The muscle car world leans in the direction of bigger is better. Look at any of the offerings of the other companies. Hemis vs 383,440s- Hemis are king. 427 copo Camaros-Vettes vs 350 LT1s most would take an aluminum ZL 1 elephant motor. 427 Ford,Cobra Jets, Boss cars, vs...289,302,351 w... Many look for Big Brother performance. Don't get me wrong there are many way cool small blocks from all the companies they just DONT have that KICK like a big block has.

Being bigger becomes normalized after a while. The reality is that little blocks are quite adequate.

Nobody wants those big block turds

LOL!

^^^^^ I guess little blocks are adequate but probably not preferred. No one goes to an engine shop and says build me the smallest least performing engine you know how to build, so I can cruise my neighborhood without making too much noise, or pollution and I don't want to scare the women and children with my performance car.

As others have said:

-fewer produced
-a blast to drive...more nimble, better balanced, etc. 
-easier to work on
-Very quick...My buddy just bought a '67 GT-500 and I let him drive my car after I drove his. He pulled over over after one block, he said, "Oh my gosh, why is your stock 350 so much quicker than my 500?"  All I said was, "Power to Weight". 
-One of our esteemed members here who owns 2 350's and has had multiple 350's over the last 40+ years, said "I have never lost to a 500 in a race".
-I was on the track with my '67.  They were supposed to be parade laps during a large show, but guys really didn't hold back too much. When I got back to the holding area, the guy in the GT500 in front of me said "Every time I looked in the rearview mirror, you were right on my bumper.  I couldn't shake you.  Why not?".....All I said was "Power to weight".

When FORD engineered, built, and raced their WORLDS FASTEST production cars, a lot of words were used to describe them and turd was not one of them!

A 1967 GT 500 is great for going in a straight line, if that's your thing.

ditto.

also less heat, easier to work on, more parts available to hotrod. Uses less fuel = more fun for your dollars in the tank.

exhaust (or lack of) scares women and children not displacement.

Well not quite. When the SA engineered  the "427 prototype " Cobra they nick named the car "The Turd" .

don't shoot the messenger . If I didn't bring that point up someone else surely would because it is fairly common knowledge in Cobra circles.

That was the flip nose and a 390 xe engine at the time. One car only, not to spoil the rest of the fastest car program on planet earth at the time.
