1967 Shelby GT500 For Sale - Ultra-Desirable Factory Nightmist Blue
Paint LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1967 Shelby GT500 As
the muscle era was heating up Chevrolet released the all new
Camaro, which called for an upgrade to the Mustang to compete. As
with before, Carroll Shelby was called upon to ready to boost
Mustangs performance reputation. The slightly larger 1967 Mustang
was the perfect platform to introduce big-block power so the 428 CI
Police Interceptor engine found its own home in the GT500. Rated at
355 HP, the Police Interceptor had the same performance camshaft
that would later be used in the famed 428 Cobra Jet engine and
employed dual-inline Holley 600 CFM 4-barrel carburetors with
progressive linkage and vacuum-actuated secondaries on an aluminum
intake manifold. To some it's the ultimate muscle car/grand tourer,
others love it for being the first Mustang to be powered by the
428. While many others just love it for the beautiful, powerful
styling and Legendary name associated with it. Whether you're a
collector or enthusiast, and whatever your reasoning, there is no
denying that they are one of the most iconic muscle cars of all
time. As per the Shelby registry, the example offered for sale was
shipped new to Republic Ford Inc. in Houston, Texas and sold on
9/5/1967 to its original owner J.A. Campbell. Mr. Campbell ordered
his new GT500 in Nightmist Blue paint complemented by a Black decor
interior which remains one of the most sought-after color
combinations. It was equipped from the factory with a 4-speed
manual transmission, power steering and front disc brakes, Goodyear
Polyglas tires on Shelby 10-spoke aluminum wheels, the Interior
Decor group, fold-down rear seat and the Extra Cooling package. In
2010, this Shelby received a rotisserie restoration and was
refinished in its factory ordered Nightmist Blue with White
striping. The Black Knitted Decor interior matches the rest of this
car in its pristine presentation, incorporating the wood-rimmed
3-spoke steering wheel, roll bar with inertia reel harnesses,
below-dash Stewart Warner oil and ammeter gauges and 8,000 RPM tach
that were all part of the Shelby GT treatment. Underneath is
finished as it left the factory with red oxide primer floor pans
with body color overspray, correct paint daubs and inspection
markings. Under the hood, lies the 428ci Police Interceptor engine
with dual quad intake which has been rebuilt to stock
specifications and is in excellent working order. Finishing the
look of the engine is a litany of correct markings and stickers.
