Built before Ford took over Shelby production, this 1967 Shelby GT500 Fastback is more than just a collector car—it’s a piece of American performance history. Finished in Brittany Blue with white stripes, this early-production GT500 was sold new by the legendary Tasca Ford dealership and still bears its original VINs and factory Shelby markings. You can find it here on eBay with an asking price of $299,999 and located at a dealer in New Jersey.
The heart of this beast is a 428ci Police Interceptor V8 with upgraded internals, aluminum heads, headers, and a concours-restored dual-carb setup. The block is an authentic Ford race replacement with correct stampings. A 4-speed manual puts you in full control, and the factory power steering and brakes make it street-friendly despite its raw muscle.
The body is laser-straight and wears high-quality Brittany Blue paint over an all-original, rust-free shell. Early inboard headlights, fiberglass hood and trunk, Magstar wheels with Goodyear Polyglas tires, and correct Shelby taillights round out the look. The original Tasca Ford emblem is still in its proper place, a subtle but crucial detail that reinforces the car’s provenance.
Underneath, this Shelby has been treated to a Stage 3 concours underbody restoration. That includes factory red oxide floors, KONI shocks, billet 4-piston front brakes, and a 3″ stainless steel exhaust system that gives the car a proper growl. A 9-inch Ford rear end and leaf springs keep it grounded.
The black Decor interior is fully restored and period-correct. You’ll find original-style bucket seats, fold-down rear seating, Shelby lap belts and shoulder harnesses, and even a woodgrain steering wheel. A Retrosound radio with Bluetooth is tastefully integrated for those who want tunes with their torque.
This GT500 also comes with an Elite Marti Report and poster board, helping verify its factory specs and build history. Optional upgrades—like a concours transmission rebuild or factory-style over-the-top stripes—are available through the seller.
With Tasca provenance, a real 428 Police Interceptor, and early-production features, this Shelby sits at the intersection of collectibility and performance. It’s not just a restored car—it’s a restored icon.
Would you cruise it, show it, or park it as a blue-chip investment?
Wow
My sentiments exactly!
Amazing car, but not for me – if I owned it I’d literally just park it and look at it. I need a car I can drive.
Blue chip.
High end car with a high end restoration. Realistically, only expected to be seen at high end events.
Window sticker shows the famous Tasca Ford. Building is now a VW dealer? I’m surprised there were 200 Brittany Blue GT 500 4-speeds built.
Thank you Elizabeth.
You’re right. Rt. 44 East Providence, RI. Tasca is still “the” Ford dealer in RI. I’ve bought a couple cars from them over the years.
Well, it should have the proper exhaust system on there.
The rear spoiler center & driver’s endcap do not evenly line up on top, like on 2nd gen F-bodies, but that was to be expected – when cars were quickly hand assembled.
I wonder what those tires cost.
And it’s got a non-original distributor and coil.
Reason why Tasca is special even if it’s a bone stock Shelby is they usually went over it with a fine tooth comb to make sure everything was tight it was tuned right and gave the customer what they expected when they paid for it…Not alot of dealerships went the extra mile back then.
When I saw the opening photo. I said the same thing as Stan…… Wow!!! The color, and everything about this Mustang. I can only imagine how many hours and how many people that worked on this. And at least from where I’m sitting it really shows.
Great write up Elizabeth, looking forward to seeing more from you!!
In 1974 I had a ’55 TBird for sale … a guy in a ’68 GT500 wanted to swap “even” … his car had curb-feelers and fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror … I was about to make the deal when my now ex-wife said she “didn’t want another Mustang, especially one from the South Side” (we lived in Chicago at the time) … it may not be one of Gibbs’s rules, but it should be – NEVER let your wife in on car deals …
Unless I am your wife. The original raised on cars motor head car aficionado.
The sellers Ebay name is No Reserve Classics, yet there is no auctions listed, all buy it now.
I guess that means that their name is technically correct.
For that kind of money it should be 100% correct……….this one has a few issues.
Russ I agree. Optional Upgrades ? At 300k this car should be completely ready.
Why not finish the car and ask 400 to 500k ?
Post the dam comments!
Would seldom see the street today but should at least see the strip. What an awesome car.
For me, as far as Shelbys go… this is THE ONE.
That front end PL 👌
Yep this one will multiply in $ guaranteed. There are only few rides out there that have no price set. Seller ask what you want and you just might get it! I would build a garage/show room just for this masterpiece. Any of you youngsters out there with spare cash, no matter what the price, spend it on this one! Guaranteed you will not loose a cent. What will it take seller?
It Does Not Have The Original Engine. The heart of this beast is a 428ci Police Interceptor V8 with upgraded internals, aluminum heads, headers, and a concours-restored dual-carb setup. The block is an authentic Ford race replacement with correct stampings.
Before Ford and Shelby united the public was asking dealers to put the big block FE engine in pony cars. It took a couple years for them to catch on but here is a perfect example of what the union of Ford and Shelby did! I use to own one and I tell you from experience it’s not for the faint of heart, and get ready to loose control at any speed. The Corvette came pretty close but could not keep up at the drag strip.
