Although Carrol Chelby and Ford came together to make it, it WAS NOT called the Shelby GT500.

The 350 was made for handling.

 

In response to Jeep's Comment : that there never was a 67 Shelby GT 500...he is wrong. Jeep I believe when you say it was a roadster you are talking about a SHELBY Cobra. There was in fact a Shelby GT 500 made. Carroll Shelby started the Shelby GT's in 65 with the 350 and then in 67 he made the GT500 with a 428 V8.

 

I think he is thinking of the AC Cobra with the 427 side oiler.

 

No, although Shelby and Ford came together to make the Gt-500, is wasn't called the Shelby GT-500, it was called the Ford-Shelby GT-500.</P>
