Description
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
