Obviously not originally a 427,but was it originally red?(my registry is several thousand miles away)

It was Lime Gold

Stalled at $120K.   
p.s.:  I thought the red/white '64 Fairlane 500 K-Code was well bought at mid-$50K.
p.p.s.: ...and the Boss 429 stalled at $250K

So it was a 428 and now it's a 427 side Oiler with a color change?

Well it's a pretty (modified) car which doesn't do wonders for its collector value.Sure would be a fun driver though IMHO..Though I bet (with those colors)it would draw tickets like flypaper..

  Waaaay too many under hood stickers and incorrectly applied.

It that the original Tail Light Panel or a Preproduction?  The Tail Lights tilt down, the top of the Panel droops on the Drivers side only under the Deck Lid area between the White Stripe and Quarter Extension  and then it rises only under the Passengers side Quarter Extension.

I just Binged "1967 Shelby back end" and got a lot of Photos of the Back end of 67 Shelby's.  It seems that about half had Tilting Down Tail Light and half had Tail Lights that are Level.

Even after logging in, I can't see any under the hood pictures.

The car has the wrong 'raised' taillight panel for its completion date at Shelby American on 1/4/67. (raised panel; taillights pointing downward slightly on the outer ends)
It should have the flat taillight panel for a car completed that early. (flat panel; top edge is level across both side lights and actually horizontal)

I've always assumed this is an owner change during restoration, but lately, I wonder if this might have been done at as service replacement to fix the exhaust fumes issue that many customers complained about on the early cars. Would be nice to see the inner trunk brackets to see if they changed too...giving more space for the spare tire.
