You are bidding on a 67 Shelby GT 500 project car VIN # 67410F7A00806.This car is the real deal and includes significant NOS parts. The Shelby registry says this car started life as a lime green GT 500 with the following options: black interior, desirable inboard headlights, 10 spoke wheels and Traction Lok 9” rearend. Also featured functional brake ducts, PDB and P/S. Numerous and valuable NOS parts include: Shelby seat belts new in box (set of 4), New inertia reel belts (these belts alone are probably worth $2000.00 +), new fenders and r/h qtr skin in Ford bags, fender emblem, both front inner fender aprons, front inner fender splash shields etc. . Many other new pieces of metal are included but I cannot identify them as NOS pieces. These include rear inner fender aprons, floor pans, battery tray and hold down, core support, rear splash shields.

  Now to the current condition of the car, the car will need a complete restoration including extensive sheet metal replacement. Fortunately the car does not appear to have been hit and the rocker panels are solid so this will be a case of drilling and replacing panels, most of which are included. Here is a list of what I believe will need to be replaced: l/h front frame rail and shock tower, inner fender aprons, floor pans (partially complete but not up resto standards) patch outer firewall outside of fender apron, trunk drop offs both sides, filler panel behind gas tank . Both rear lower qtr panels were patched in rear lower area during a prior repaint and will have to be redone correctly. R/H could be replaced with supplied factory qtr although this would not seem necessary.

  Most Shelby components are present on the car including: factory wood steering wheel, roll bar, correct gauge cluster, etc. There are a couple of parts missing though. These include under dash gauges, hood and the Shelby front nose. The hood and front apron are available reproduction or you could put Eleanor pieces on the car. This could quite possibly give you the only Eleanor based on a real GT 500!

  This car was at one time converted to a GT 350 with a small block and matching emblems. That engine is now gone and a correct casting # 428 block (C6ME-A), C7AE heads, dual quad intake casting C7ZX with matching S7MS air cleaner assy. The carbs are not correct but are Ford numbered as follows COAF-9510-N. Also includes exhaust manifolds casting # C7OF. The engine was bored .030 and appears to have been run before it got new rings and bearings. A rod and main cap was pulled and new Cleavite 77 rod and main bearings were not marked as undersized so it appears as a standard crankshaft. Heads have been completely reconditioned and feature new valves and hard seats both intake and exhaust sides. Valve covers are correct open letter cobra and were only featured on 67 GT 500’s as far as I know. The short block has been sitting for an undetermined amount of time and should be disassembled and cleaned before running. A C-6 trans is also installed and has correct floor shift linkage attached.

  The interior is in surprisingly good condition: dash pad is good, the seats are good except for a small hole in driver seat upper corner and a crack in rear plastic cover. Door panels will have to replaced, these are the correct deluxe panels and trim is complete.

  Overall this is a very restorable car with almost all the hard to find parts intact. Finished these cars regularly bring in excess of $60,000 dollars here on e-bay. This will place a 67 500 within the reach of a lot of people who cannot afford that price and aren’t afraid of doing the work required to achieve a dream!
