A Sport Luxury Machine1967 Shelby Mustang GT-500Lighting Fast But More Accessible
Ford loved the prestige of the Shelby Mustang but in 1967 decided they needed to make some money off this brand, which meant more sales. With the Mustang Fastback as a basis, Carroll Shelby used a fiberglass nose, louvered hood and side scoops to retain the sports car look. But at Ford's insistence he added air conditioning and power steering and brakes to make the car more accessible to the public. Under the hood, however, the GT-500 was now powered by a 428 cubic inch V-8 rated at 355hp. but actually producing more than 400. Top speed was 130mph. Sales increased over 25% with over 3200 Shelby Mustangs produced.
