1967 Ford Mustang Convertible – Shelby GT500 Tribute | Rebuilt 428 FE V8, Tremec 5-Speed, Power Top

This 1967 Ford Mustang convertible is a beautifully restored Shelby GT500 tribute, built as a “what-if” interpretation of what a convertible GT500 might have looked like—a full year before Shelby officially offered one. The car underwent a full restoration in 2007 and was transformed with Shelby-inspired components and styling. At its heart is a freshly rebuilt 428 FE big-block V8, paired with a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission fitted with Ford Racing gears.

Presented in striking condition with fully functional systems including a power-operated soft top, this one-of-a-kind tribute merges authentic Shelby presence with open-top Mustang cruising charm. The car has been recently serviced and is ready to be driven, shown, and enjoyed.

Exterior – Shelby-Inspired Style, Drop-Top Drama

This Mustang’s restoration brings Shelby fastback DNA to a convertible body, blending aggressive styling cues with timeless Mustang lines. Finished in a classic hue (user to confirm color), the car features hallmark Shelby elements like:

• Shelby-style fiberglass hood with integrated scoops

• GT500-style side scoops and badging

• Rear spoiler and dual exhaust exits

• GT500 stripe kit and trim accents

The paintwork, trim, and brightwork remain in excellent condition, showing minimal signs of use since the restoration. A power-operated convertible top functions smoothly and stows cleanly, adding practicality to the dramatic Shelby visuals.

Interior – Classic Mustang, Tastefully Updated

Inside, the cabin remains largely true to its Mustang roots while subtly incorporating elements appropriate to the Shelby theme. Features include:

• Factory-style bucket seats and original-style upholstery

• Shelby GT500 badging and trim accents

• Clean carpeting, dash, and door panels

• 5-speed gear selector in a center console layout

• Functional gauges and switches throughout

The interior shows excellent attention to detail, with everything working as intended—including the heater, lighting, and convertible mechanisms.

Powertrain – FE 428 V8 & Tremec 5-Speed

Power comes from a freshly rebuilt Ford FE 428ci big-block V8, delivering classic Shelby thunder with updated reliability and performance. It’s paired with a modern Tremec 5-speed manual gearbox, allowing for long-legged cruising and responsive downshifts.

Performance features include:

• Ford Racing gears in the transmission

• Fully rebuilt engine internals, recently serviced

• Updated cooling, ignition, and exhaust systems

• Major service just completed, ensuring road-ready condition

The drivetrain setup delivers strong, reliable performance with plenty of torque and a distinctly vintage big-block sound.

Chassis & Suspension

The restoration addressed not only cosmetics but also mechanicals. Underneath, the chassis presents cleanly with upgraded suspension and braking components, while maintaining a period-correct driving feel.

Features include:

• Rebuilt suspension with fresh bushings and shocks

• Functional power brakes and steering

• Solid undercarriage with excellent structure and detail
