This 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback is an exceptional tribute to the legendary Shelby GT500, blending performance and classic muscle car styling in a way that truly stands out. Powered by the formidable 428ci Cobra Jet V8 engine and paired with a Toploader four-speed manual transmission, this Mustang offers an authentic driving experience with plenty of power on tap.
The car has been extensively modified to resemble the iconic Shelby GT500, featuring a stunning Nightmist Blue finish with all the signature styling cues—an extended nose cap, a ducktail rear spoiler, and functional air scoops on the sail panels and quarters. The body has been meticulously restored, keeping the classic Shelby elements intact while adding modern touches like inboard grille-mounted driving lamps and hood-retention pins.
Riding on 15” GT500-style wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, this Mustang benefits from a heavily upgraded suspension. It’s equipped with tubular A-arms, VariShock front coilovers, and shock tower braces for a smooth and responsive ride. To improve traction, the car also features Trackmaster traction bars, ensuring the car stays planted on the road. Stopping power comes from power-assisted front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, while Baer adjustable bump steer tie rod ends provide enhanced handling precision.
Inside, the cabin is a perfect blend of classic Shelby styling and modern functionality. The front bucket seats and rear bench are upholstered in black vinyl, and a custom Shelby-style steering wheel mounted on a Flaming River tilting column adds a stylish touch to the period-correct interior. The dash features a 140-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges to monitor the car’s performance. A Hurst shifter and Shelby GT500 floor mats further enhance the car’s authentic feel.
Under the hood, the 428ci Cobra Jet V8 engine delivers impressive power, equipped with dual Holley 600-cfm carburetors, an aluminum dual-quad intake manifold, and aluminum cylinder heads. Additional performance modifications include Pertronix ignition and coils, a Milodon oil pan, and a remote battery disconnect system. All of these upgrades ensure the car performs at its best and is ready for both spirited driving and car shows. The power is transferred to the rear wheels through the Toploader four-speed manual transmission, offering an engaging and thrilling driving experience.
