The Shelby Mustangs of the mid-1960s were pony cars on steroids, with performance modifications commissioned by Ford and made by Shelby American. Out of 3,223 Shelby Mustang GT350s built for 1967, only 22 came painted Charcoal Gray and this is one of them, as verified by a Marti Report. Located in Scarsdale, New York, the GT350 wears an older restoration and is being offered by the seller who’s owned the car for the past 37 years. It’s available here on Facebook Marketplace for $210,000.
Third-year Mustangs (1967) were reworked to include a larger engine bay, one that could accommodate bigger engines. This would be the last year that Shelby would produce the GT350 as it would move in-house to Ford in 1968. The GT350s would look different than its 1965-66 predecessors, giving the cars a physical appearance of their own compared to non-Shelby Mustangs. Where the cars shined was under the hood, where Shelby’s version of the 289 cubic-inch V8 produced 306 hp and 329 lb.-ft. of torque. A ’67 GT350 could do 0 to 60 mph in seven seconds and would top out at 140 mph.
The seller’s GT350 was produced early in the 1967 production year. His neighbor owned the car as far back as 1971 and finally sold it to the current owner in 1984. It was treated to a full restoration in 1991 and wears the same paint today, though it has some minor flaws after three decades. Its color of Charcoal Gray was applied on fewer than two dozen of the cars when new. The Ford is numbers-matching and has all the important original parts at 70,000 miles.
Additions to the car include a period-correct Paxton supercharger, so who knows what the realized horsepower output is now. The transmission is a 4-speed manual, although an automatic was available on the GT350 in 1967. The seller provides a video of the GT350 showing the car in running condition. Though listed on Facebook, this Shelby is positioned as an investment-grade automobile.
The 2:30 mark of the video shows an on coming car almost taking out his 200K investment. I’m sure the driver was sending out a really important text.
Why the stupid music?
At first I thought the song was from the Bullitt movie. The song is actually from Quincy Jones, Ironside Theme song; Ironside is an American television crime drama that aired on NBC over eight seasons from 1967 to 1975. The show starred Raymond Burr as Robert T. Ironside. Great song and memories.

Sale Pending, it was listed a week ago.
Total 1967 Shelby run was actually 3,225, with only 1,174 being GT350’s. This car has all the early features that Shelby intended for the GT350’s to possess: six point roll bar, outside roof lights, mag star wheels, functional lower brake scoops, chrome trim over tail pipe tips, inboard headlights, traction bars, hood prop and an owner added Paxton supercharger! Oh, and it is the first Charcoal Grey Shelby made. It has it all….
Another garage queen at $200K.If pricing for Shelby Mustang are that high Cobras must be in the 750K and up range.
This is sweet! It is indeed an early model(#140) as indicated by the running lights in the upper scoops. Sounds sweet with the Paxton supercharger. I have owned a ’67 GT350, #318 , since 1975 but have been hesitant to add a Paxton supercharger unless I can find one that doesn’t need work or cost an arm and leg!. These cars are awesome and I prefer driving it more than my ’14 Shelby GT500 convertible!
I remember these cars. They sat along side their Shelby bretheren until birthdays approached. Sale-proof in 1967. That seemed to be a common theme in those days as many now cherished models could not be readily sold. I also saw many of the “new” Ford GT models with discount stickers applied when the V8 of 2006(?) was new. I’m hoping that before I pass this mortal coil I can figure out this anomoly.
The seller shows a video from 15 years ago of the car running. Still, photos show an amazing car that’s a great exhibit of pony car history. Side note, I didn’t realize Facebook marketplace was where auto enthusiasts were conducting 6-figure transactions.
In five years
GR350 499000
GT 509 750000
Avg car collector 2007 Mustang 5000.
and sold with reality 😉😂👀🥺
Shelby did build 35 Paxton equipped GT350’s in 1967,any indication if this is one of those 35 or definitely confirmed as owner added? If it’s an original it’s value is more than jusitfied.
At first I thought this was my old GT 350 that I got rid of because the engine sound gave my wife a headache but I had #151
A year later I got rid of the wife.
That gray paint changes color under street lights. People seeing it at night would ask why I repainted it I was told by the Shelby registry that only 11 were listed with that Gray, maybe that’s all that have survived.
At least she didn’t get the car.
You must have had performance mufflers on it. The heavy sideways stock muffler (2 pipes in/2 pipes out) should not have been very loud at all.
I don’t remember seeing any ’60s car that was gray, let alone a Shelby.
