Description

While it may be almost impossible to get your hands on one of the original 2,000 or so GT500s made, thankfully, we have this stunning 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Tribute available for you today. Fully repainted in the iconic Blue with white racing stripes motif, this Tribute sports a scooped and pinned hood, centrally-mounted grille lights, upper and lower quarter panel scoops, ducktail-style rear spoiler, GT500 rocker panel stripes, and correctly placed badging that, in totality, would make even Carroll Shelby nod and smile with approval at this fantastic Ford.

Inside, we find a clean black vinyl interior. A big center console separates a pair of bucket seats, while an electronically power-assisted wood-rimmed steering wheel boasts a Cobra emblem center cap. A five-pod gauge cluster features a 6,000 rpm tachometer and a curiously conservative 120 mph speedometer. In contrast, a pair of auxiliary gauges keeps tabs on oil pressure and voltage from the center stack. A Sony AM/FM/AUX head unit offers Bluetooth connectivity and powers a pair of large rear-mounted enclosed speakers, hidden behind the rear seatback.

Under that aggressive hood, we find an even more aggressive motor. Beneath the correctly placed Cobra air cleaner, sits a 427 cubic-inch overhead valve V-8 engine. Equipped with high-flowing Cobra Jet heads and an FiTech Go EFI 8 fuel management system, that big block sends spent gases out through dual exhaust capped off with a set of FlowMaster mufflers.  Power is routed through a tried-and-true Toploader four-speed manual transmission before heading out to the nine-inch rear end.

This 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Tribute rides on a suspension consisting of an independent front and leaf spring rear, upgraded with a set of QA1 adjustable coilovers out back. This car also benefits from subframe connectors and a rear sway bar. A rack and pinion steering unit operates fifteen-inch Shebly wheels shod in P205/60R-15 BFGoodrich rubber up front, while wider P235/60R-15 BFGs are used in the rear. Power disc brakes hide behind those wheels at all four corners, ready to scrub off speed at a moment's notice. If you've always loved the 1967 GT500, but couldn't find or afford one of those sparse vehicles, then this incredible tribute, with just 953 miles since it was built, is the car you've been waiting for. But don't wait any longer, call today!
