1967 Shelby GT500 Fastback - $374k

Early in 1965, Shelby announced the Cobra II with a 427 cu. in. V-8 replacing the 289. By 1967 the GT 500 appeared, and except for a few subtle differences, its engine was the same as the one that propelled Shelby’s Fords to victory at Le Mans. In 1967, a total of 2,048 Shelby GT500 Fastbacks were produced.
Shelby no. 643. 1 of 47 produced with these color, trim and mechanical combinations. Multiple-time Concours award winner. Concours restoration completed in 2007. 428 CI Police Interceptor engine. Dual 4-barrel carburetors. Toploader 4-speed manual transmission. Power steering. Power brakes with front discs. Finished in Dark Blue with White striping.
Factory finished in Dark Blue Metallic paint with Wimbledon White Le Mans stripes and a Parchment interior. Shelby added the cast-aluminum medium-rise intake manifold from Ford's 427, twin 600-cfm Holley four-barrel carburetors, and other tweaks for a conservative rating of 355 bhp. The car crossed the block and made $374k in 2022 at Mecum.

The 1967 Shelby GT 500 got a reworked 428-cid 'Police Interceptor' which made far more than the touted 355 bhp.

Prices for top end collector cars has retreated from their highs. Hagerty suggests today that a top end example is trending around $275k.
