Q: Where can I get a brand new 1967 Shelby GT500 in Montreal?
Just wondering where I get one of those. This babe is the bomb.

Long live 1967 Shelby GT500 <3.

Thanks in advance.

A: you would have to find one being sold at a Barrett Jackson auction and bid on it over the phone

go here:

enter year = 1967
make = Ford
model = mustang
style = fastback
number of years = your choice, start with 1

you will then have an idea what they go for in US dollars

Q: I have always wanted a 1967 shelby mustang gt-500, are there any good kit car versions?
I have looked far and wide and have not found a thing, endless kits for AC Cobras and the like just never a complete kit for a 1967 SHelby Mustang GT-500. Need help!!!

A: You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here – carinsurance.yoll.net

Q: What would be the approximate cost to build a 1967 Shelby GT500?
I would like to build a 1967 or 1968 Shelby GT500 and I do not have anything yet so I am starting from scratch. I just wondered if anyone knew what the approximate cost would be to build this car? I want to put a lot of performance parts on it but I would like to begin with just the price to build the car stock and then add on. Thanks

A: It depends on are you building a clone ? or a true GT500 ?
That fact alone can vary the cost DRAMATICALLY ..
A fully restored will set you back $200K on up for a true GT500
A restoreable shell can be $50K on up

Clone cars about 1/3 that

Q: why do people call the 1967 shelby mustang gt 500 eleanor?
Im having an argument with my cousin. he thinks that the famous 1967 shelby GT 500 is nicknamed “Eleanor” because its an old car and thats an old name and I thought the name was derived from a mythical creature? any help settling argument?

A: In the 2000 remake of the movie “Gone In 60 Seconds,” the characters must steal 50 cars. To keep the police from knowing that they are stealing cars, they gave each car a girl’s nickname.

So, if a cop heard them say they were “off to go get Eleanor,” the cop would suspect they meant a girl, not a car. Eleanor was the name that the 1967 Shelby GT500 was called in the movie.

So, because of the movie, people call 1967 GT500’s “Eleanor” (especially the ‘67 GT500’s that are designed specifically to look like the car from the movie).

P.S. In the original Gone In Sixty Seconds movie from 1974, they used a 1973 Mach 1 Mustang as Eleanor. But, since it was just a normal Mustang, and not custom-modded like the ‘67 GT500 from the remake, the name only caught-on to 1967 GT500’s.

Q: How much money is a 1967 Shelby Mustang Cobra GT500 worth? Are they hard to find?
I heard that Cobra didn’t come until 1968 though, I just put 1967 because that be preferred. However, if Cobra didn’t come until 1968, then my question would pertain to the ‘68 model.

A: The Cobra name was not added to the Shelby Mustang until 1968. However, Shelby Mustangs were built from 1965-1970. A 1967 Shelby GT500 is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Value can be determined by originality, documentation to prove that it is the real thing, color(s), transmission type, and other options.
Sellers are still currently asking top dollar for these cars, but the truth is that their value is down, along with most other collectible muscle cars of the era. Very clean examples have not sold on eBay lately for the $150,000 – $175,000 range and they did not demand these prices at the most recent national auctions. I would expect to realistically pay about $125,000 for a very nicely restored example with some desirable options and color combos.
For 1968, the Shelby Cobra Mustangs brought about $120,000 at auction for pristine, documented examples, though I do not recall any “KR” models being sold. KR’s (for “King of the Road”) usually command more money and convertibles more still as they are more scarce. Still, the value of everything is down given the state of the economy and I think even a KR convertible is probbaly right around $150,000 right now. The 1967 market has always been unpredictable so it’s a bit tough to call. The other years’ value are more predictable.
Production:
1967 GT500 fastback- 2,048 (no convertibles made in 1967*)
1968 KR500 fastback- 933
1968 KR500 convertible – 318
I don’t recall how many GT500 fastbacks and convertibles were made for 1968, I only remember the production numbers for the KR’s. And keep in mind that in 1967 and 1968 you could get Shelby Mustangs with either a small block engine (GT350) or big block engine (GT500). You didn’t ask about the GT350 car so I didn’t go into detail. My answer is long enough and I apologize if it is confusing.
Anyway, hope this helps!

Q: What’s the difference between a 1967 mustang fastback and a 1967 shelby gt mustang?
I want to know because I want to get one that looks like “Eleanor” in the gone in 60 seconds movie

A: The Eleanore was built from a Shelby GT500 which was built from a Mustang Fastback. So, you can get an Eleanor from either car — the Fastback would be a cheaper start.

Here’s one being done:

Q: Does anyone know where i can find just the body of a 1967 shelby GT 500 in any condition?
HI, Im looking for just the body of a 1967 shelby Gt 500. I dont care what condition it is in, can look like the worst beater of em all… It is my husbands dream car… and he works and i am a stay home mom with our 2 boys. Everytime he sees a picture of one, you should see his face. We dont have a lot of money and never have money to do anything we want to do, hardly have the money to pay bills and keep food in the house. So i want to show my husband how much i appreciate him… he may never be able to drive this car, but through the years he can work on it… and it will be a dream come true to him. I dont have much money… but if there is anyone out there willing to part with one… i dont care if its gutted out or anything… you would make me the happiest woman alive, and my husband the happiest man alive…. Please let me know… i live in NH… Thanks everyone.

A: You can check out Hemmings Motor News but I doubt you’ll ever find a Shelby body cheap in any condition. Even the most rusted out beat up Shelby body is valuable for the Vehicle Identification Number attached to it. A common practice now by restorers is to take a rotten or heavily damaged rare body and do a ‘rebody’ on it. This is where they save the part of the body with the VIN such as the firewall and dash and completely replace the rest of the body with new and good used panels. So, your chances of finding a GT500 body for cheap are next to zero. One alternative would be to buy a regular ‘67 fastback body and buy the fiberglass parts to make it a Shelby. Not original but not nearly as expensive as the real thing either.

Q: Will Forza 2 two have the new Lancer evo 10,new Nissan Skyline,1967 Shelby Mustang in a new update?
Just wanna know if there is any rumors of those cars being included in the next update?

Or else I might as well just get NFS PS and leave forza in the case.

A: No plans for updates now maybe in the next couple months.

Q: Does anyone know where I can find a 1967 Mustang Shelby GT 500 Model Car?
My husband is looking for a 67 Mustang Shelby GT 500 model car. He wants it to be unfinished ( he wants to put it together and pain it himself) He also wants it to be the plastic kind, not metal. I have found cars on ebay but they are either metal or already put together and painted. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!!
I’m thinking maybe they didn’t make the plastic kind you can build yourself. Anyone know?

A: ToysRus..

Q: How much is a 1967 Shelby GT500 Worth?
If possible, could you say the price of a junker, or new version. Thanks in advance.

A: Completely restored – $150,000 plus. Running but needs restored – $50,000 and up depending on the amount of work and missing parts. Rusted out junker – not much except for reusable parts.

Q: Does anyone know a company that will make a 1967 Shelby GT500?

Q: Opinions about the 1967 Shelby GT500?
My father and I have been considering a project.
We have decided if we do a project car it will be a 1967 Shelby GT500.

What is your opinion on the GT500?

Should we chose something else? (he originally wanted to do a 1968 Camaro SS)

Would it be extremely difficult?
Yeah, obviously im doing a clone. About 95% of Shelbys out there are clones.

A: I’m assuming you’re doing a GT500 clone. A real GT500 is very expensive.

Depending on whether you want to do a numbers-matching restoration or a “resto-mod” will determine how easy it is. Obviously, if you want to do numbers-matching it will be difficult to find the correct parts that came with that car at the time of manufacture. However, quite popular now is the ‘resto-mod’ where the exterior appears fairly stock, but the running gear, brakes, interior, etc. is all modern.

Both ways offer pitfalls. I mentioned the pitfall for numbers matching, but for resto-mod the pitfalls will be that you may have to do some engineering to make things fit and work correctly (for example, say you install a modern motor with headers, but find it won’t clear the steering column, so then you’ll either have to put on different headers or replace the steering column.). I’m not saying it WILL be a problem but you should be prepared to run into problems making everything fit nicely.

Either way, it should be challenging, but fun. The biggest challenge will be finding a chassis that isn’t rusted out.

Good luck
