The 1967 Ford Shelby GT500, a high-performance iteration of the Mustang developed through a collaboration between Ford and legendary racer Carroll Shelby, debuted in 1967. This performance powerhouse is equipped with a 428ci Ford Police Interceptor V8 engine, delivering 355 HP, paired with an aluminum mid-rise intake manifold and dual 4-barrel Holley carburetors. It features a 4-speed manual Top Loader transmission, front disc brakes, reinforced front springs, power steering, and a revised suspension system. One of just 2,048 GT500s built that year, this example underwent a comprehensive rotisserie restoration between 2010 and 2013 by Country Corvette of West Chester, Pennsylvania. The restoration included rust repair, a Wimbledon White repaint with blue racing stripes, interior refurbishment, and a complete powertrain rebuild. Afterward, the car was shipped to the Dominican Republic, where it became part of a private collection, accumulating only 500 miles. It was returned to the U.S. in 2018, at which point the fluids were changed, and the carburetors were rebuilt. The vehicle was purchased by the current owner in 2024 and has been kept in a climate-controlled garage and driven just 50 miles since. This collector-quality 1967 Shelby GT500 is being offered for auction by its seller out of Virginia accompanied by a Shelby American Automobile Club certificate and additional documentation.
As part of its rotisserie restoration, this example was refinished in its original Wimbledon White (M) with blue racing stripes and GT500 rocker stripes. It has various lightweight fiberglass components, including an extended nose cap, an elongated hood, a ducktail rear spoiler, a taillight panel, a trunk lid, fender extensions, and quarter panel air scoops. Additional features include chrome front and rear bumpers, center-mounted high beams, a functional hood scoop, Cobra badging, hood pins, a fender-mounted antenna, and integrated dual exhaust outlets. It rides on factory-correct 10-spoke aluminum wheels wrapped in E70-15 Goodyear Speedway 350 tires. The seller reports the paint remains in perfect condition, detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The interior offers front bucket seats and a rear bench seat upholstered in black knit vinyl, complemented by matching lower dash and door panels. The black upper dash and carpeting are contrasted with brushed aluminum trim on the dashboard and door panels. Additionally, the driver's sun visor has been professionally autographed by Caroll Shelby, confirmed by the Certificate of Authenticity provided in the gallery. GT500-specific features include a padded two-point roll bar, Shelby American door sill guards, an upgraded 140-mph speedometer, an 8,000-rpm tachometer, Stewart-Warner gauges for oil pressure and amperage mounted centrally on the dashboard, FoMoCo/Cobra seatbelts, and Cobra badging on the steering wheel horn button and passenger-side dash. Amenities include a three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel, a heater with a defroster, a fold-down rear seat, dual roof-mounted courtesy lights, an AM/FM radio, and air conditioning, which was added during the restoration. All gauges and electronics are reported to be in proper working order.
Power comes from a 428ci Police Interceptor V8 with die-cast aluminum valve covers and dual Holley 600 CFM four-barrel carburetors, which delivers a factory-rated 355 HP and 420 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 4-speed top loader transmission. Acceleration from 0-60 MPH can be achieved in just over 6 seconds, and a top speed of 132 MPH. Additional features include front disc and rear drum brakes, a GT500-specific revised suspension system incorporating stiffened front springs, heavy-duty rear leaf springs, an upgraded anti-roll bar, and Gabriel shock absorbers.
This sale will include a Deluxe Marti Report, SAAC certificate, and a clean title.

From what we were told, everything was brought back to original spec and numbers match.
Any and all are welcome to have the vehicle inspected.
She’s a rare beauty!
@Finnster we are not aware of any changes that were made from stock. There was a extensive restoration done between 2000 and 2005. With a lot of the work done at Cobra Automotive Inc. It appears that all receipts for the work done have been saved and will come with the vehicle.

Stripes look too dark, not the correct guardsman blue - it's an easy fix though. Also, I have never seen a big block 67' with Factory AC. Was likely added at the restoration, but they used OEM components and it looks like it came from the factory that way (read that it was added at rest-nice job BTW!). AC was rare for 67's. A few of the small block cars has AC and most were automatics... I think there were 26 or so - sold my 67' SAAC registry long ago, so can't confirm. I have only seen and heard of 1 small block 67 with AC that was a 4-speed - super rare. Having AC on this car IMO is a HUGE positive. You can drive it. Living in Texas since 72, its was a must have! I finally sold my 67' (#2183) cause it was just not fun to drive in the summer. this looks like a very correct resto down to the Bias ply's. I am sure you could comb through it and look at the date codes, but that's over the top IMO. Buy it, get a spare set of Mag Stars from Craig Conley, put some 'new' rubber on them and drive the hell out of it. These are great. I prefer the small block personally, but the are fun to drive and mechanically cheap to fix compared to P cars or F cars. IMO, this is top of the food chain.
