1967 Ford Shelby Blue RWD Automatic

1967 Ford Shelby

You are looking at one of the most accurate and detailed 1967 Shelby GT350 Replicas around. A great deal of time, thought, : has gone into building this car with no expense spared. Many original Shelby parts and components were used during the build process and the result is one of the most stunning GT350 replicas you will find anywhere. THE CAR The foundation for this build was an all original 1967 Mustang C code fastback. Built at the San Jose, California Ford plant o February 2, 1967 and sold at J&B Ford Sales in Corte Madera, California. The car spent most of its life in California until 1985: it went to New Mexico. In 2000, it returned to California and 2 years later began what would become a 3-year restoration and conversion to its current state.

Vehicle Details

The original date coded 289ci engine is still in place. It was removed and completely rebuilt with a 0.010 overbore, forged alu pistons, high flow oil pump, double roller timing chain. Crane roller cam with a slightly higher lift and longer duration, Edelb:

ВЫ intake and 635 cfim carburetor, stainless steel valves and hardened valve seats ensure reliable running on modern unleadec Correct Shelby valve covers and early GT350 air cleaner assembly installed. A newly rebuilt and correctly date coded alterat installed as well as correctly rebuilt water and power steering pumps. In addition, a correct K code 5-blade Hi-po fan was inst order to ensure cooler running, a 160-degree thermostat was used and a 4 core custom-built brass and copper radiator was built to look correct and provide 20 percent more cooling capacity. The original C4 transmission was rebuilt and reinstalled. All belts, hoses, battery. and wiring are correctly marked with the FoMoCo and Autolite logos. Engine and drive train currently have low miles on them since rebuild.

BODY

Original rust-free body was completely stripped and all Shelby fiberglass panels and components were test fitted, sanded and sealed and then test fit again a total of 6 times to ensure outstanding fit and finish far exceeding anything that originally came from Shelby! The result is a body fit and finish equal to that of a brand new Lexus. This was an extremely labor intensive process but was v worth it to ensure beautiful fit and finish quality with no waves, ripples, or warping. The car was then primered and painted w coats of original Brittany Blue before the white stripes were painted over the top of the car. In order to ensure a perfectly smoo transition between the blue paint and the stripes. 3 coats of clear were applied with wet sanding between each. The result is a award winning paint job that is like looking through a layer of glass. Correct Shelby taillights were added with new wiring, h and solid-state rear sequential flasher relays. These were wired up to not only flash sequentially during turn signal operation b to sequentially flash simultaneously when the brakes are applied. All body, seals, weather stripping, latches, fasteners, and pli replaced with new components. In addition, all body bolts, nuts, and fasteners were replaced with correctly marked original ty components. Over $20,000 went into the body and paint conversion alone and the result is a really outstanding work of art.

INTERIOR

All new carpeting, door panels, seats. trim, stainless panels, dash, chrome, and hardware were used. A custom 8,000 rpm tacl installed in the clock position from an aftermarket manufacturer in Australia. These are a rare aftermarket accessory and are n available. All electrical and wiring was refurbished and replaced where necessary. Original Shelby Stewart Warner under das were installed as was a very hard to find original Italian-made FIV Shelby GT350 steering wheel. Full Shelby roll bar include impossible to find Shelby retractor shoulder belts. All of these Shelby components are usually missing on other Shelby replica Ken Harrison AM/FM high power two-post deck was also installed with a trunk mounted CD player and iPod plug in. Sound from two 6½ inch Infiniti kick panel speakers and two 6x9 rear speakers. CD is controlled remotely from the aftermarket rem console. Rear seat is shown in the folded down position in the pictures but it is there and can be folded up again. Shelby GT350 mats, emblems. and interior markings including seat belts finish off the interior. The final touch is the authentic Carroll Shelb signature on the right side of the dash.
