Hey guys, it’s been a while! Today, I wanna talk about something that really gets my engine revving – the 1967 GT 500. This beast is a legend, and I’ve been digging deep into its story lately.
So, picture this: it’s 1967, and Ford and Shelby dropped this bombshell on the world. They took a Mustang and basically turned it up to eleven. They made the body bigger, meaner, and then they did the unthinkable – they stuffed a massive V8 engine in there. I mean, who does that? Ford and Shelby, that’s who.
- First, I started reading everything I could find about this car.
- Then, I started hitting up forums and online communities.
- It was like a treasure hunt.
Getting Down to Business
Now, getting into the nitty-gritty, this wasn’t just any engine. We’re talking about a seven-liter monster. I spent hours just imagining what it would be like to drive one of these. I heard it’s so powerful, it was only second to the GT 40s on Ford’s test track. Can you believe that? Only 2,048 of these beauties were ever made. That’s like finding a needle in a haystack! And the price tag? Don’t even get me started. I saw that some are going for around $154,000, and one even sold for a whopping $517,000! That’s not just a car; it’s an investment.
Wrapping It Up
So, that’s my deep dive into the 1967 GT 500. It’s more than just a car; it’s a piece of history, a symbol of power and innovation. I hope you guys enjoyed this little trip down memory lane with me. Keep your eyes peeled for more, and as always, keep the rubber side down!
