Vehicle description
This 1967 Shelby GT500 is powered by its original matching-numbers 428ci Police Interceptor V8 engine rated at 355hp, equipped with dual 4-barrel carburetors feeding an aluminum intake manifold and paired with its original Toploader 4-speed manual transmission and a correct Ford 9-inch rear differential. The car retains factory power steering and front disc brakes, and the engine bay includes original hardware and fasteners consistent with its long-term preservation. Delivered new in Nightmist Blue with white Le Mans stripes, it was purchased in 1967 by Larry Tingle, a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers organization, and was placed into storage in the late 1960s, where it remained in protected conditions for decades. The exterior retains its factory-applied Nightmist Blue color and has been repainted once, still presenting with a consistent gloss appropriate to a preserved, largely unrestored vehicle. It features the correct fiberglass hood with twin scoops, original Shelby badging and trim, and all original fiberglass components are present. The car rides on original 10-spoke Shelby wheels fitted with period-style tires. Original brightwork, lenses and exterior trim pieces remain in place with light patina, supporting its unrestored presentation. The interior is an original black deluxe cabin as specified on the Shelby order sheet, including the wood-rim steering wheel, factory shifter, factory instrumentation, door panels, seat upholstery and dash pad. The original AM radio remains installed and operational, and the console trim and other interior details are intact, consistent with long-term storage and limited use. According to the provided history, the car is a three-owner example from new with continuous documented storage since the late 1960s. Included documentation consists of ownership records, maintenance receipts and period photographs, which support the stated ownership chain and long-term preservation. The mileage is described as exceptionally low and believed to be original per the accompanying records.
