This gorgeous and authentic Shelby GT 350 is well documented with history from day 1, records include the window sticker, build sheet, Marti Report, Shelby Registry certificate, restoration receipts, restoration photos of every stage and much more. The car is almost completely original specifications except where noted below. When any parts that were update, the original parts were retained and come with the car. This vehicle has received performance and cosmetic modifications. These modifications can be reversed should the buyer wish to do so. In some instances this would be as simple as unbolting a part and replacing it with the original. I other cases, such as the color change or the engine build, a much more involved procedure would be required to return it to its original configuration. PERFORMANCE MODIFICATIONS The engine has been modified to run efficiently on 91 Octane unleaded gasoline and to produce upwards of 390 BHP and 425 lb feet of torque, placing it in a performance category well above a stock GT500. In addition, due to the utilization of light weight and heat dissipating aluminum and steel components, this car will significantly out handle a GT500 on the road. The specific modifications are outlined and explained below: 1. Edlebrock Performer Aluminum Heads: Higher compression possible with 91 octane fuel. Greater heat dissipation and less weight than the original cast iron heads. 2. 347 Stroker Conversion: 10.5 : 1 Compression ration. Forged crankshaft, Shot peened rods, Forged pistons. 3. Recurved Dual Point Distributor utilizing the original unit. 4. Engle RV Camshaft with Solid Lifters 5. Roller Rocker Arms 6. FlowTech Performance Headers: Ceramic coated. ( Original Cast Iron High performance exhaust manifolds are stored in the trunk.) 7. High Performance Torque Converter with Boss 302 spline count 8. Boss 302 input shaft and transmission clutch disks & torque converter 9. Positraction Differential built by Bill Thompson Enterprises 10. Flex Fan for less resistance at high RPM, (Original HiPo fan is stored in the trunk.) 11. Aluminum high performance water pump 12. Aluminum components were left unpainted to aid in the dissipation of heat. COSMETIC MODIFICATIONS The original lime Green paint was completely removed down to the bare metal surface. Neither Ford nor Shelby American were known for their attention to detail when it came to the fit of body parts. As a result, it was decided to take the time and effort necessary to improve the alignment and finish of these pieces before repainting would commence. At this time, it was decided to change the body color due to the fact that Lime Green is just and awful color. In its place, 1967 Thunderbird Charcole Gray Metallic with White Rally Stripes was selected. While many may take issue with this decision, the abundance of "Best of Show" and "First Place" Trophies seems to vindicate the color change, not to mention the stunning, attention getting appearance of the car. The Outboard high beam headlights and grill were replaced with Inboard headlights and grill. The original grill and brackets are stored in the trunk, and can be reinstalled in short order. In addition, most major components and brackets of the undercarriage and engine bay were Powder Coated for durability and appearance. Ownership History: 1967 Sold New to J.

Per the Marti report, it looks like this is one of the "rail cars" damaged in 1967.
Then I know it that one was for sale many months ago. I think there is a thread about it when it was for sale and we were talking about the rail cars.
I think that colour on a 67 looks fantastic
Slightly better than Lime Green which they say it grows on you
I don't think I would want anything green growing on me 8)
Anyone catch a asking price in that painfully long run-on paragraph?
$129,500. It says so in the Craig's List ad.
This particular car was replaced by 67210F7A02763 which was shipped to ABJ Ford, Inc. - Trenton, Illinois on 7/13/67.
Yes, it is one of the Derailment Cars. I looked at it February 2012 at Tim Howard's house. 2759 sustained frontal damage in the derailment.

Ah, It's in the heading. And here I was trying to find it that freaking never ending paragraph.
These cars with 'A' in the Ford vin in the blue typeface, when did these cars get the hipo installed? Same as normal, or would they remove the 225 hp and install the 271 hp?

Same as normal just a stamping glitch apparently. Another example is there are GT500's with K code engine codes too.
Seems like a nice driver car, but strong money for a color-change and a whole lot of non-original engine mods. No mention if that has the original block or not. Plus (or is that minus?) automatic trans. No way could there be any tropies for originality.

I noticed in the photo with the Shelby VIN tag, you can see the Ford VIN. The "R" after the "7" don't look like an "R". I don't see the loop around from the top. The letter to me looks like something other than an "R".
Also after the "K" it says 213587 but the Marti report says 113587. So 2 typos in the VIN? I would find it hard to believe another hipo car was found with a "x13587" to match up. I think the line worker was having a really bad day. Anyone?
The Ford Vin. looks good to me and it matches the Marti report.

The soccer mom gray is a downer. If they were going to change the color why pick a non color? Yuck.
Is that right to have the Ford VIN in full view? I've never seen it, but I haven't seen them all either.
I thought it had to be covered over with the Shelby Tag.

I have a 67 and you can clearly see the Ford number..

the second digit doesn't look like a "R" but could be a "faint" stamp and the 6th digit is a "2". All other digits are the same as the marti. See pic below. I just think it is a mis stamp.

I absolutely love that color. There were originals in this color or something very very close.
And I wouldn't be caught in driving anything that could even remotely be described as a soccer mom vehicle.

The Ford vin was meant to be stamped so as to be visible in the notch of the fender for that purpose. That Ford VIN is slightly off from typical. The Shelby VIN plate was meant to cover the Ford VIN for less confusion .In both instances you had humans doing the work so it could vary and did. This is a example of one that varied . It looks a little different from typical but not extremely out of the ordinary.

Many of the 67's were also double stamped which in some cases moved the number so you could see it.

Read reply #17 Shelbymann.
You know Stanley Tucker bought the first Mustang 100001. That doesn't mean he bought the 100,001th Mustang. He bought the first Mustang.
So that means that the Shelby in question here Ford #213587 is actually the 113587 vehicle produced.
Think you might mean that #213587 is actually the 113587 vehicle assigned a VIN in that sequence. Cars were not produced in sequential order and of course there were other lines in the same factory producing cars at the same time as the line for Mustangs/Shelby/Cougars that year

That's EXACTLY what I said, read it again ::)
And I said "Vehicle" not Mustang.
Yes read it and that is why I posted. :o
"is actually the 113587
vehicle produced." is not
EXACTLY the same as "is actually the 113587 vehicle
assigned a VIN"
Notice the difference
Don't know where the attitude came from just trying to help explain what took place
"is actually the 113587 vehicle produced." Yes that was a quote to show a comparison between the two posts you said were exact.
To others watching, just wanted to make a point about the differences between the assignment of VIN's and production order as has been discussed in many other threads. What followed is unnecessary and not beneficial to the discussion or thread.
There is a fundamental misunderstanding of how these cars were built.
Here is an example to illustrate how things were done:
The example shows 15 cars built over five days.
Day and serial numbers (1-15) are assigned (scheduled) by a computer
Mon
1,3, 15
Tue
2, 4, 12
Wed
5, 7, 14
Thurs
6, 9, 13
Fri
8, 10, 11
The actual build order could also be very different. In this example car #1 may have been the last car built on Monday or possible not built until later in the week.
Serial numbers really have nothing to do with being sequential or order of build.
Car 15 could be the third car assigned/scheduled and built in this example.
This is an over simplification, but hopefully it helps.
