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.
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 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.
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?
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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 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 so many of these videos that talk about the difference between the 428 and the 427 they seem to always fail to mention the most important difference between these engines and that would be the bore and stroke and hence the difference in where they shine in the RPM band. The 428 was most definitely a great engine, but it's a whole nother level with the 427
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.
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.
Owned #1991 for 24 years so some REAL life experience. Side oiler was NASCAR and off shore boat racing requirement. Just look at the tens of thousands of 390 & 428 that were raced and are still being hammered today. 3.98 stroke of the 28 was a better street torque engine where it didn't stay at 6,000 rpm for 45+ minutes at a time but light to light. Look at the CJ domination 68 & 69. Shelby had made a race name with the 65-66 but they were stuck with what Ford gave them to work with. The 67 didn't hook well with the tech of the day - different now. The 67-68 500 felt more nose heavy than 69-70 chassis. The earlier 65-66 steering col Rally Pac had a TACH & clock NOT gauges so NO comparison and those sucked under the radio. I thought it was a shame that they didn't copy the 65-66 tack mount on the top centre of the dash. Those gauges were as bad as the 65 442 tack mounted almost the same place so Shelby wasn't the first one to make that mistake. In 69 at least the gauges were angled up toward the driver. 68 was a little only better as there was a console instead of being hung under the radio as an after thought. That car is a later production as it has outboard high beams vs the centred (illegal in some states) that all early cars had. Roll bar was a 2 point so something but much more sales and mount for the belt retractors. Upper mount was just a bolt into the sail area of the roof. It was fun - friend had an identical looking red white stripe black interior 350 so when we both pulled up somewhere it made heads turn. And we both had Boss9 so we would mix and match...
You know all the little shit like I do, and I also really liked the 67 & 68 Shelby's. Only 5 miles from my home boat races were held, U.S. 131 Dragway half an hour drive. I got my driver's license in 1974, and all of the great 60's muscle cars were just cheap used cars. Here's just a few of the cars that went thru my hands - 70 Boss 302, '69 Galaxie XL Convertible 429, 70 Mach 1, 70 Cougar Eliminator, 73 Mach 1, 67 Galaxie XL (2) also a 69 Shelby GT350 From 1974 thru 1989 I had a total of 64 different vehicles (all Ford's & Mercurys, plus one Plymouth, two Lincoln's, and a 1950 Cadillac) I just kept trading and selling, but I wish I held on to just ONE! I also sold Ford's for a good 25 year career, as I won many awards and trips to events like "ride & drives" at MIS with the great Ford NASCAR drivers during the 80's, and events a Ford's proving grounds where I drove with Carroll Shelby and Bob Bonderaunt to name a couple. It was great. I miss those days as they are gone forever.
Suspense & ESCAPE! I got my license in 72 and I did the same thing you could get a almost mint muscle car for $1500 to $1800 at any new car dealers used lot. I had a 65 GTO as my first car but 6months later I spotted a loaded 69 442 air factory 8 track man I thought I was the MAN in that car. The 442 was gone in a year and I found an old guy probably my current age now lol trading it in at the Pontiac dealer for a Grandville he told me he bought the GTO to pull his 18 foot boat because it had big engine LOL I won't thinks he knew what he had it 4 speed and a convertible. That lasted till I found this mint 69 ss396 Chevrolet L78 with chambered exhaust ! I sure miss those days we had a blast with all our rides! e
One of the best cars ever made, wish they would remake them exactly how they were and slap a 'drive at own risk sticker' on it to get around safety standards. To the few of us left who still enjoy the drive, there would be no other car that we would buy unless it was for family transportation.
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
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
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?

I can see why this car was chosen for Rally Vincent to drive in the Manga series , Gunsmith Cats.

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.
never seen something so beautiful
427 for me, with top loader 4 speed
That's what I've got. :)
67 390 mustang
Explains so much about this car. Thank you!
This guy's voice is melodic. Love it.
Great history about the Shelby / Ford mustang!
totally would take the 427 + a 4speed
Gorgeous color. Gt500 wow. 427. 👍
one of my most favorite mustangs along with the boss 429.
man great car, 427 will wind!! My kind of channel and car ;)
Thanks!
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
A 427 Side oiler In a 67 mustang!!! Thank you Shelby!!!

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.

Jim Morrison from The Doors had one; you see him driving it in the movie he wrote/starred. Powerful yet stylish classic.
One day I'll own this car because it is my dream car!
This car is simply... fantabulous!
350 and 500 were also the distance that the small block and big block engine production line were from Shelby’s office.
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
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!
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!
ive got a 67 289, but my all time dream car is the 68 Shelby GT 500 KR
I'm drooling over these cars
This cars where beautiful back in the day
This, this car, is my dream, they are absolutely gorgeous cars, I'm just 21 so I have all my life to save
Great video. Very concise but very informative. Always been a 67 fan myself....as well.
427 all the way
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?
Its gotta be the best mustang of all the years.
Mustang4life. I love them 😍, I’ll take anyone I can get my hands on. That ‘67 is sweet though, great 👍 videos.

LOVE the parchment, I had a std. '67 GT (non-Shelby) with it, loved it. MUCH cooler in summer !
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
Jim Morrisson's car?
Coração De Leão that car is a mystery
"Riders on the Storm"...😎🤙✌😁
Beautiful car...🤙
Very informative and interesting muscle car review, thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it!
I love 1967 Ford mustang GT
427 all the way.....Thank you for sharing the knowledge from a gentleman who truly knows Shelby history.
I was born in 67 so I always wanted a 67 Shelby Mustang
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.
Great video! Glad I found the channel
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...
In our opinion: Possibly the most beautiful car on the planet ...with either engine.
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.
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
My dream car.
This car is also the star car in gunsmith cats .
427 ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!!😁👍👍😎
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

427 ALL DAY LONG
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 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!
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.
The only mustang people love
Here because of Gunsmith Cats. And cuz i'm a car nerd.
We are now ready for *2020*
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!
Saw this fully refurbed today - wow
Perfect car!
427 FTW
I loved the 67 289 hipo in the GT350.
427 hands down!
Beauty !!
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.
Had a 68 GT350 white with dealer installed blue stripes. Mine was a 4speed with A/C.
ain't nothing like a old school car. I would never spend my money on a new model car.
427 side oiler....oh yeah!
427 all the way Baby.
What an absolute beauty
The 427 without a doubt!
Beautiful stang' a Shelby classic.
Beautiful, super stylish
I have to laugh about burnouts.
Ive spent 50 yrs getting them to HOOK UP and go. LOL
2 words dream car
If I could have just the body of this car my dream would be a step closer to reality
427 side oiler all the way!
Is that Jim Morrison's Blue Lady?
In so many of these videos that talk about the difference between the 428 and the 427 they seem to always fail to mention the most important difference between these engines and that would be the bore and stroke and hence the difference in where they shine in the RPM band. The 428 was most definitely a great engine, but it's a whole nother level with the 427
Balanced properly this can wind nicely
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.
I wish they made cars look this good today
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’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.
What’s the difference between the 428cobra jet and the 427 de block. Also was the 427 de used in the Ford gt? And are they both sohc?
Definitely a 427!

I had a 65 GTO as my first car but 6months later I spotted a loaded 69 442 air factory 8 track man I thought I was the MAN in that car. The 442 was gone in a year and I found an old guy probably my current age now lol trading it in at the Pontiac dealer for a Grandville he told me he bought the GTO to pull his 18 foot boat because it had big engine LOL I won't thinks he knew what he had it 4 speed and a convertible. That lasted till I found this mint 69 ss396 Chevrolet L78 with chambered exhaust ! I sure miss those days we had a blast with all our rides! e
love everything except the leak prone glass type fuel filter., one piece metal type much safer IMO
One of the best cars ever made, wish they would remake them exactly how they were and slap a 'drive at own risk sticker' on it to get around safety standards. To the few of us left who still enjoy the drive, there would be no other car that we would buy unless it was for family transportation.
this is my third favorite car in the whole world
