1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Project Car

Very Original Shelby Project Car, Just Out Of Long Term Ownership

For those of us whose dream cars come from yesterday, we can't just walk into a car dealership and buy one. Cars aren't built to last forever, but restoration can breathe new life into an older vehicle and make it look and run like new. This makes the car more valuable at a time of sale, guaranteeing its future collectible status. With a little time, money, and ambition, this Shelby GT500 is most certainly a worthwhile undertaking.

The Shelby offered here was purchased by its first owner Mr. Jon Moser on 8/29/67. It was delivered in the very popular Lime Gold with black interior. Also very nicely set up with the Kelsey Hayes Magstar wheels and inboard headlights. Inside, the interior is very complete, but is missing the factory radio. The Shelby specific 140 speed and 8k tach, door panels, seats, shelby steering wheel, factory roll bar with safety harnesses, shelby under dash gauges all are present. Upon on inspection one would see it retains the original factory applied paint in the door jambs, under hood and trunk. The undercarriage is very solid and original never having being undercoated. Looking closely one can see the factory paint markings, paint dabs as well as the factory primer dripping off the floors.

The car indicates that 49,113 miles have been traveled all during the very early years. The car would have an engine issue that would sideline it from further use. After the engine failure the car was put away until being sold in 1972 to a young man with big dreams of repairing the car and breathing new life back in it. He had only enough for a downpayment and would take a loan out for the balance that was co signed by his mother. As a welder by trade, with every paycheck he would make his payments until he repaid the loan in full. He would always take good care of his Shelby and keep it stored properly with the intention of restoring it to its former glory one day. The years went by, then marriage and the addition of kids would occupy his full focus. Always with the best intentions of getting to his Shelby one day. Finally the day came when the realization occurred that he would not be able to get to complete his car as he always hoped he would. He made a call to LMC to ask if we had any interest in purchasing his car and of course we did. A deal was completed and the car was loaded on a truck heading to LMC.

To the untrained eye, this vehicle by traditional standards would not be considered. However astute collector would know the potential of this limited production and very collectible Shelby GT500. In summary, this Shelby has a second chance on life, and it is up to the new caretaker to take the Shelby through onto the next chapter.
