 | 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. 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 very conservative rating of 355 bhp. In 1967, a total of 2,048 Shelby GT500 Fastbacks were produced. |
 | 0 to 60 mph came in around 6.2-6.5 seconds and a quarter-mile in 14.3-15.0 seconds at 92-95 mph.
Performance varied depending on transmission (4-speed manual or 3-speed automatic) and vehicle tuning. Redline was 6000rpm. |
