When I got out of the Army in '68, I bought a Mustang GT with the 302 in it...and it was respectfully fast, so I can only imagine the same car with a 427. Wish I had kept my Bullet car :)
my Uncle raced a 1967 and 1969 Shelby, both with a 427 SOHC “cammer”. He's told me quite a few times that if it wasn't for Stengers ford and “Ohio” George Montgomery in Dayton, Ohio neither car would've been possible. On a few Fridays/Saturdays my Uncle would drive my grandfather and my-5 year old-self in those cars to Stengers ford and then to “make a little spending money” from a few Chevy and Dodge boys in Dayton...I just wish my Uncle would've kept at least one of the cars, hell even a engine.
Although I owned a 68 gt500kr with a 427 side oiler, dealer installed, because the person who ordered the car wouldnt accept it without the 427 he ordered, he ordered it in late 67 when it was on option list.
My uncle had a GT500 in 1967. I was too young to drive then, but I got a few rides in it. To a young kid, it seemed like a rocket ship although it probably wasn't all that fast by today's standards. His was a stick shift and the thing pulled like crazy in 2nd gear. If you got on it in first gear, forget it. The back tires were up in flames. People forget how light weight the earlier Mustangs were, too. None of the 4000+ pound nonsense you see today with pony cars.
Rodger that on the weight. My first race car build (meaning lousy) was a 67 390 car. It weighted 2850 before the exhaust was put on it, so under 3000 race ready with a full cage. I feel there is no excuse for a Mustang to weigh nearly 4000lbs. I bought an 07 GT and hated it because of the weight. I traded it for a Miata. Much better.
Amazing car. I just finished to collect all the parts to assemble a die cast model of the '67 Shelby GT500, 1:8 scale. It's exactly the same as this, but whit the white stripes. It cost me around 1100 euros and the collecting process took about 2 years. A true legend. Great show, keep up.
Great video and awesome car! As a proud Shelby GT500 owner and member of Team Shelby I'd want the 427. But I'd take either engine if the car was given to me. Go Team Shelby!
I passed a 69 Mach 1 with a Super Cobra Jet 4speed. Unrestored . blue w yellow stripe. Non shaker in 88 for 3000 here in Lubbock Texas. Probably had a Drag pak option. Torquey Engine. No Rust. Alzo a Boss 302 in yellow in 83 for 3500
Watching this right after building my Lego creators 67 mustang. Fun build, but a little confusing. Fun to get even more info after what’s in the instructions.
Glass fuel filter, tell the owner to remove it before a fire happens..... beautify car! I know of a 67 Acapulco Blue car that needs restoration, likely will be installing a 427 side oil'er for sure, don't think the dealer will be able to do that for me anymore..... lol
I owned a 67 GT350 4 speed car in Candy Apple Red. I restored it and had a lot of fun with it, and then I made a big mistake selling it. If I had a GT500, It would be awesome to have a 427 in it with a 4 speed. I wouldn't want an automatic trans in a Shelby.
There are three known 427 cars. The super snake came out of Mel Burns Ford in Long Beach, Ca. The problem was the cost. It was 7,000.00. The cost of a 427 Cobra. In stock form the 427 was rated at 425 HP. I have an early 67 Shelby. With a cam change, Ford 427 Iron heads, headers, stainless steel valves, roller rockers and simple durability changes It makes a respectable 512 horsepower and 498 pounds of torque at 5500 rpm and is completely streetable, even maintaining power brakes. There's also nothing to indicate this vehicle was a dealer installed 427 car. The registry shows this as well. Beautiful car none the less, as my Shelby is the same colors with a parchment interior.
Carroll Shelby and Bob Tasca both offered the 1967 GT 500 with an optional 427 side-oiler if the buyer was willing to pay the additional cost. How many were built? Who knows, surely not many, but there were GT 500's built with a 427 side-oiler. The video states that you had no choice when buying the 67 GT 500 regarding the 428PI motor, which is not accurate. Some were special ordered with the 427.
Correct, and the de-tuned "W" code 427 was an option in the '68 GT's too. They were no slouch though, as they made "advertised" 390 HP and 480 LB/FT of twist! Keep in mind that they revved it up to only 4600 RPM... I'd say 420-430 HP @ 6,000 RPM which it was capable of, and then some!
If I ever get means, I'm getting 2. One original as possible & the 2nd to customize for cruising, trip taking, or possibly a daily driver. It's just SEXY!
I understand that the Ford 427, 428 and 429 were different designs, but it is weird to have all three of those engines so close in displacement from one company.
The "Side Oiler" that he was talking about was the "R" code which was the bad boy that was raced in NASCAR but, the 427 in that 500 is the "W" code, single 4 barrel, de-tuned version of the "R" code engine.
I owned a 69 Mach 1 GT that had a 390 in it. The big blocks are kind of a pain in the ass because there's no room in the engine compartment. If you want to put headers on it you have to cut out part of the shock towers and to change the spark plugs I'd have to disconnect the motor mounts and lift the motor up and use extensions on my wrenches to get to them. It was fun as hell though. So much torque!
In 1967 a bunch of us all bought mustangs. One friend bought the GT500. He told the dealer he wanted a 427 not the 428 and they said it was not available that way however they knew there were several cars perhaps as many as eight who’d had the dealer install a 427 in the brand new car. Big money. Wonder if this is one?
Friend of a friend had a nice 67 GT 500 in 1972. Yep, mild 428 with dual quads bolted on top. I imagine the 68s got the Cobra Jet, that would have been quicker.
The REAL 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang i.e. fitted with aluminum race bred 427ci/425bhp engine developed for NASCAR racing. Gimme this version over the 428 ANY day.
This thing rips! A lot of the old muscle cars on this channel can only pull a little squeal of the tyres & tend to remind you that the memories might often be better than the cars really were. Not this thing! That 427 race motor clearly makes this thing the real deal.
In 1976 I had a chance to buy one of these for $800.00 from a local Ford dealer, but passed on it because it was a bit of a beater. Why are we so effing stupid in our youth?
I almost cry today about what I sold my Boss9 for in 74.... but it was a 385 dog and all my others were FE. Still have a couple of 27s & 28s plus my 69 CJ that I bought June 1969.
I also bought my 67' GT350 in 1981 at age 17. and still have it. paid 3900. 26500 miles and fresh paint. It is still nice with 55000 miles. I auto crossed and open tracked it through the 80's
I’d take a 428 with a 427 intake manifold, like Tasca did with the Cobra Jet drag Mustangs in ‘68. All the high-end performance you need to run a quick quarter, and enough durability to drive home from the strip.
When I got out of the Army in '68, I bought a Mustang GT with the 302 in it...and it was respectfully fast, so I can only imagine the same car with a 427. Wish I had kept my Bullet car :)
Terry Bruce thank you for your service
I got a ‘70 302 it tears ass and gets a lot of looks
K Moss which one better your or a 1967 Shelby gt350 or 500 also what is the difference in design for a 1967 Shelby Gt350 vs same year but gt500
What about those poor Vietnamese you murdered?
@@cashewnuttel9054 shut
the 1967 Shelby GT500 is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. A 427 should've been an option...
my Uncle raced a 1967 and 1969 Shelby, both with a 427 SOHC “cammer”. He's told me quite a few times that if it wasn't for Stengers ford and “Ohio” George Montgomery in Dayton, Ohio neither car would've been possible.

I would check the box for a 427 SOHC engine. If only.
In 67 it was available, 68 discontinued In 68 427 was only available in mercury cougars from factory.
Although I owned a 68 gt500kr with a 427 side oiler, dealer installed, because the person who ordered the car wouldnt accept it without the 427 he ordered, he ordered it in late 67 when it was on option list.
It’s one of my dream cars. My dad has a 1968 California Special. It’s an amazing car but it’s not the fastback so I feel it loses a bit of its charm
My uncle had a GT500 in 1967. I was too young to drive then, but I got a few rides in it. To a young kid, it seemed like a rocket ship although it probably wasn't all that fast by today's standards.

The '67s are my favorite Shelbys, just perfect styling.
totally agree
Ford Mustang Magazine are those side vents functional???
Yes they are on the original 1967 Shelby GT500
Automotive works of art.
mine too
I can see why this car was chosen for Rally Vincent to drive in the Manga series , Gunsmith Cats.
Amazing car. I just finished to collect all the parts to assemble a die cast model of the '67 Shelby GT500, 1:8 scale. It's exactly the same as this, but whit the white stripes. It cost me around 1100 euros and the collecting process took about 2 years. A true legend.
Great show, keep up.
Hold on a second it is white with white stripes..how are said stripes even visable🤔🤷♂️🤨HMM..!!??
That has always been my dream car...a '67 Mustang with a 427 side oiler...a GT500 would be even better.
427 and this Shelby! What a beautiful piece of American Muscle.
Yea, the 427 was a beast. My first job was working at a gas station and I was able to deliver cars often.
This guy's voice is melodic. Love it.
Explains so much about this car. Thank you!
This is one of the most beautiful card I've ever seen I hope I am able to get one, one day like I'm wanting to
427 for me, with top loader 4 speed
That's what I've got. :)
67 390 mustang
Gorgeous color. Gt500 wow. 427. 👍
never seen something so beautiful
one of my most favorite mustangs along with the boss 429.
Great history about the Shelby / Ford mustang!
One day I'll own this car because it is my dream car!
totally would take the 427 + a 4speed
A 427 Side oiler In a 67 mustang!!! Thank you Shelby!!!
That’s my dream car right there, it’s so sleek and smooth and just beautiful in general
Mine too. I was introduced to this car thanks to Gunsmith Cats
Great video. Very concise but very informative. Always been a 67 fan myself....as well.
ive got a 67 289, but my all time dream car is the 68 Shelby GT 500 KR
Great video and awesome car! As a proud Shelby GT500 owner and member of Team Shelby I'd want the 427. But I'd take either engine if the car was given to me. Go Team Shelby!
Jim Morrison from The Doors had one; you see him driving it in the movie he wrote/starred. Powerful yet stylish classic.
350 and 500 were also the distance that the small block and big block engine production line were from Shelby’s office.
I think I'd like to have one of each - the 427 and the 428. And I'd also like to have the Super Snake!
I'm drooling over these cars
427 all the way.....Thank you for sharing the knowledge from a gentleman who truly knows Shelby history.
I have the same car. Dealer installed 427, exported to South America for most of its life, red with a 4 speed.
THAT would be PERFECT ! What about a pic?
This cars where beautiful back in the day
I passed a 69 Mach 1 with a Super Cobra Jet 4speed. Unrestored . blue w yellow stripe. Non shaker in 88 for 3000 here in Lubbock Texas. Probably had a Drag pak option. Torquey Engine. No Rust. Alzo a Boss 302 in yellow in 83 for 3500
Great video! Glad I found the channel
This car is also the star car in gunsmith cats .
Very informative and interesting muscle car review, thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it!
Mustang4life. I love them 😍, I’ll take anyone I can get my hands on. That ‘67 is sweet though, great 👍 videos.
man great car, 427 will wind!! My kind of channel and car ;)
Thanks!
This car is simply... fantabulous!
Watching this right after building my Lego creators 67 mustang. Fun build, but a little confusing. Fun to get even more info after what’s in the instructions.
427 all the way
Its gotta be the best mustang of all the years.
Glass fuel filter, tell the owner to remove it before a fire happens..... beautify car! I know of a 67 Acapulco Blue car that needs restoration, likely will be installing a 427 side oil'er for sure, don't think the dealer will be able to do that for me anymore..... lol

Wow the car, the name, the history. I wish I would’ve lived in those years. Awesome car!!!
SAME HERE..ALTHOUGH I'M ONLY 37 YEARS OLD I'D HAVE LITERALLY KILLED TO'VE BEEN ALIVE BACK THOSE YEARS🤔🤷♂️🤨😤😡🤬👎👎AURRGH ERRGH GAURRGH..!!
I was born in 67 so I always wanted a 67 Shelby Mustang
The only mustang people love
427 hands down!
Perfect car!
In our opinion: Possibly the most beautiful car on the planet ...with either engine.
I love 1967 Ford mustang GT
My dream car.

LOVE the parchment, I had a std. '67 GT (non-Shelby) with it, loved it. MUCH cooler in summer !
427 ALL DAY LONG
427 ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!!😁👍👍😎
I agree that is a neautiful year. Thats a gorgeous blue and that motor. I use to have a 71' mach1 351 hurst 4 speed.
Jim Morrisson's car?
Coração De Leão that car is a mystery
"Riders on the Storm"...😎🤙✌😁
Beautiful car...🤙
Beauty !!
Saw this fully refurbed today - wow
427 FTW

I hope the announcer is feeling better and that everyone has a good Christmas and a happy holiday season...GB America and peace to all!
We are now ready for *2020*
The 427 without a doubt!
I loved the 67 289 hipo in the GT350.
Here because of Gunsmith Cats. And cuz i'm a car nerd.
I was 17. We all prayed our dad would buy one, yeah right. Guys were building up '55 Chevy's that were cooler than dad's car anyway.
Azgy
Goodyear Tire Co. purchased some 67 GT500's with 427's to test their tires at their test track.
The "Side Oiler" that he was talking about was the "R" code which was the bad boy that was raced in NASCAR but, the 427 in that 500 is the "W" code, single 4 barrel, de-tuned version of the "R" code engine.
Yeah, I didn't think you could fit an "R" side-oiler (cammer?) into the engine compartment of a '67...
427 side oiler all the way!
I owned a 69 Mach 1 GT that had a 390 in it. The big blocks are kind of a pain in the ass because there's no room in the engine compartment. If you want to put headers on it you have to cut out part of the shock towers and to change the spark plugs I'd have to disconnect the motor mounts and lift the motor up and use extensions on my wrenches to get to them. It was fun as hell though. So much torque!
Is that Jim Morrison's Blue Lady?
427 side oiler....oh yeah!
Had a 68 GT350 white with dealer installed blue stripes. Mine was a 4speed with A/C.
Beautiful, super stylish

If I could have just the body of this car my dream would be a step closer to reality
Great video interesting commentary nice line about Shelby's heart transplant too 👍
Definitely a 427!
favorite video on youtube and car 😍
Balanced properly this can wind nicely
Beautiful stang' a Shelby classic.
427 Side Oiler fo sho
I wish they made cars look this good today
427 side oiler👍👍💪
Good video
Perfection
Shelby from Texas. Just one more southern boy who could make Detroit work harder.
Friend of a friend had a nice 67 GT 500 in 1972. Yep, mild 428 with dual quads bolted on top. I imagine the 68s got the Cobra Jet, that would have been quicker.
this is my third favorite car in the whole world
2 words dream car
The REAL 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang i.e. fitted with aluminum race bred 427ci/425bhp engine developed for NASCAR racing. Gimme this version over the 428 ANY day.
AMEN !
I'M GOING WITH THE 427 B/C DRAG RACING RUNS IN MY BLOOD

Early to mid 80s GT500s were 30k
Hardly. I bought my 1967 Shelby for 450.00 in '82. Granted it was a complete basket case. I have owned the vehicle since high school.
I also bought my 67' GT350 in 1981 at age 17. and still have it. paid 3900. 26500 miles and fresh paint. It is still nice with 55000 miles. I auto crossed and open tracked it through the 80's
