IMHO, the '67 Mustang was always the best-looking Mustang ever made; Shelby took it to the next level. I've always wanted a fastback model with a 427 in red, or any other color than lime green. Never realized there were so many "growing pains" in getting this model to market. Carroll was probably glad to have the "Mustang project" off his plate in '68.

Hi Gearhead Lounge, nice series of vehicle/engine histories (Shelbys, Mopar Hemis...), thank you for presenting younger generations with part(s) of our automotive history that stands out as the "Muscle Car and/or Pony Car Era". These were exciting times for all manufacturers involved and especially for young customers... Your presentations are first class and I look forward to the histories of the '69 Shelbys and their Boss counterparts. Sadly enough for financial/cost, political (Ford), and liability reasons, the next Shelbys would be "more Ford and less Shelby" modifications. Pollution (CA), liability, and insurance clouds were building up over the American car industry horizons and the motoring Happy Days were "counted". May I suggest to lower the volume of your background music as it overshadows your comments at times. Peace be with you, Ciao, L

Need Your knowledge on the 67 GT500. My Dad owned a 1967 GT500 C6 Automatic. Back when my Dad owned his from 1968 to 1977 had 2 Mechanic's. One worked at Drew Ford in La Mesa Ca. The Other had the expertise to tune Duel Quad's. This 67 GT500 with Quads was fast and powerful when tuned properly. The Mechanic at Drew Ford had worked for Shelby American from 1965 t0 1967 and helped put the 1967 GT500 together. At first I was not thrilled that the GT500 had a Automatic in it. But found it was fast shifting and strong shifts. That's when the Mechanic(Drew Ford) told Me it was "Special" .... In the the 1960's he said you could special order Drag Cars from Ford. One was the 67 Fairline with a 427 and close a Hurst 4 speed or C6 Auto that was sent out to be beefed up to handle the power of the 427. That's the C6 Shelby used in the 67 GT500 and I loved it. He didn't know how 67 GT500 had the Special C6 auto but said it was only a handful out of just over 2000 built. Here a year ago I found some info that said it was close to 68 plus or minus put into the 1967 GT500's. So My Question to You is " Do You have any Info the the C6 used in the 1967 GT500 and how many of of those C6's were put into the 67 GT500. And one more interesting story ...... Changing Spark Plugs in a 1967 GT500 - A Very Big Problem ....... In 1969 I had returned home from Army - Crew Chief Mechanic on Helicopter's and had small hands. Heard stories of breaking sparks , taking all day and next day. Even loosen engine mounts to jackup the engine to make it easier. I think I might hold the "Unofficial" record for changing plugs in a 1967 GT500 - 4.5 hours. This was the second time and had all that I learned from the first time and a few special homemade items I made to help me. My Dad and the Specialist Tuner Mechanic couldn't believe when I called at 11:30 am( I started at 7am) to come tune the Dual Quad's. Also thanks for info on how the 428 Police Engine was modified to make it a little better. Forget the 4 speed - that C6 was the best ...... from a stop in d for auto ....... Put the brake on put the pedal down and go ..... burn 10/15 ft rubber ..... auto shift into 2nd at about 42/43mph and burn a few ft of more rubber ... then 3rd at around 85 and chirp the tires ...... then just keeps pulling very strong flying up to past 130 just passing 5000 rpm backing off. I feel in love with car and auto. The 1967 GT500 with that C6 was a One Of A Kind.
@TheGearheadLounge Жыл бұрын
Wow! Thanks for the stories! As far as the "Special" C6 goes, you have me stumped. I definitely believe that Ford did something like that, but I doubt that they kept track of it...however, they might have! You may want to check out www.1967shelbyresearch.com/ ...they didn't have any info on it when I checked, but if you join, you can ask the question and perhaps someone may have some info!

@@TheGearheadLounge Have You ever seen or looked at a 1967 GT500 with the C6 Auto in one? My Dad sold his to a guy in LA in 1977. Also Since I started looking about 20 years ago at car shows and Auction's I've only seen One with the C6. Also it is worth mentioning that back in that period 60's/70's I heard that some Owner's of the GT500 with the C6 with change it out for the 4 Speed - so now just how many are left with the original C6? I think it could be a rare GT500 worth a lot more than one with a 4 speed.

I enjoyed this doc and all the associated nostalgia, but would have appreciated a lower volume for the background music - too carnival-like. I owned a base model '67 fastback, but turned it into my own version of a Shelby, w/ a 351C, top-loader 4-speed and a posi diff sporting 3:90 gears, as well as the front disc brake assemblies, from a Torino. It made some great low-end torque and would scream like a banshee when I put my foot in it. Top RPM was a stout 8K+ - scared the hell out of me when I missed a shift.

So interesting, so specific, so thorough, so compelling, so comprehensive; it’s like a mini-thesis. I award you a PhD in automotive research and presentation. I get the “cool lounge” aspect which apparently requires the requisite lounge music; however, this is another case of “less is more”. Either less volume or less brass and/or percussion would help. Maybe substitute a selection popular from the mid to late’60’s to further set the mood and enhance the “time travel” vibe. Overall, three thumbs up!
