In 1967, Shelby presented the first model built in the Shelby GT 500 range, based on the 1967 Mustang. It was produced until 1968 in two body types: fastback and convertible. One of them, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Fastback will be offered at auction October 5-7.

This Shelby GT500 Fastback with chassis number 00706 is powered by a 7.0L V8 engine with 355 hp (265 kW) at 5,400 rpm and 420 lb-ft (569 Nm) at 3200 rpm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission.

The car is finished in Nightmist Blue with White LeMans stripes, properly maintained and in good condition. It is equipped with VIN-style fiberglass steel-frame hood and deck lid, rear end, hoses and clamps, shock tower braces, short-tab steering wheel, rear shocks and leaf spring snubbers, while original chrome, stainless and glass are replaced with Carlite glass. Inside, the white upholstery is refinished with attention to factory details.

The car comes with SAAC Registry Information from Dave Mathews including past owners, deluxe Marti Report, copy of window sticker and copy of dealer invoice. It should also be noted that BJ BK carburetors and fuel pump have incorrect date codes.
